Admin will not get an email when user download or register, But user gets an email when they register. To get an email notification when someone downloads, you will need this add-on:
Download Notifications
- For login form, you can use shortcode
[wpdm_login_form simple=1] on a page and add the page link where you want and the same page also will work for logout when a user is logged in.
- you will need this add-on:
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wordpress-newsletters-autoresponder-plugin/
- When you are creating a package, select access = “All Visitors” from package settings
- From lock options tab, check email lock and ask for visitor’s name option
- Publish the post
- Share the package with your user
- That’s all
- But if you want to share the package inside another post, use http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ to generate and insert the shortcode.
The user will receive an email with download link after they enter their name and email, those data ( name and email ) is accessible from Downloads Subscribers menu. No new user will be created in the process.
I have had quite a few issues trying to set up the Download Manager Pro plugin. I will go in order of importance.
1) When I register a new user on a page using your [wpdm_reg_form], it creates a WordPress User with a Subscriber role, but it doesn’t any anything to the plugin’s own “Subscriber” area in the plugin. ( have attached a screenshot )
2) Once Logged in, and at the User Dashboard (the page using the [wpdm_user_dashboard] shortcode), when I hit on “Edit Profile” it is hit or miss if it actually brings up the edit profile form. Sometimes it works, and other times it gets a 404 error. I noticed that the plugin on my website tries to go to /user-dashboard/edit-profile/ whereas the plugin on your demo site goes to https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/user-dashboard/?udb_page=edit-profile. Could this be the issue?
3) When the “Edit Profile” Link does work, and I add a description, it does not seem to save it. When I go back in later it doesn’t show it’s there and it doesn’t appear on the user’s public profile page anywhere.
4) Is there any way to customize the behavior of your registration and login forms? The email that gets sent out once you register send people to the /wp-login.php login screen, but I want to hide the backend from the user. Is there a way to customize this? Also, is there a way to redirect the user to a specific page after login?
5) Lastly, the homepage template on the Verse theme seems to be broken. I have another forum post on that, so I wont go into it here.
I guess you confused two different packages as the same package.
The shortcode in this post (https://graphictwister.com/white-clasic-poster-frame/) is for the package “New Poster Frame Mockup” which has no membership plan restriction. That’s why download link is working for it.
This link ( https://graphictwister.com/download/newmacbook-on-table-060512-zip/ ) is showing a different package “New MacBook On Table”.
Thanks. Adding the email_lock column to the import file worked. Could you please let me know what additional columns I should add to the import file in order to check the “Ask for Visitor’s Name” checkbox as well as select “Download Instantly” and check “Do not Mail Download Link” check box for the bulk imported packages? I have a large number of packages and manually editing each package to set these additional options is very tedious and time consuming. That is why I purchased the Default Values add-on assuming I could set these options on packages I bulk import.
An early resolution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hello,
I made some download packages and i put some security on it for specific groups or for all registered users, however the page of download is showing for all users and guests, but the download button only are hidden from un-authority users.
How can i show a default message for those users for both options, for example:
– please login to see the download links.
– you don’t have authority to download this link, please contact the administrator.
Regards.
example:
http://alameensoft.com/download/al-ameen-accounting-system-9-0-900-19/

PLEASE NEED BIG HELP

Thanks for the reply.
My video is hosted remotely, and I have pasted the video’s embed code into the content area on the package details page, and it works just fine.
The link template shows a button called “Download”. I have cloned the template as you suggested and assigned the new template to the package page using the “Link Template” drop down menu. However, changing the drop down menu for the link template doesn’t seem to affect the actual link template. You mentioned “Use the new link template with your shortcode”, but I don’t know where to enter shortcode on the package details page.
Can you tell me what else I should try?

Thank you for support
The format for the download link on the download button exists but does not show me the key button appears only link
Yes, you know you can attach multiple files/urls to a package and each attachment can be from different server or mirror download link.
Hi, I would like to have the ability to create Mirror Links for the same file. So, if one download link is broken or the server is down users can try the mirror link. Is there any way to achieve this? If so please guide me.
If you already embedded the video in package details page, please follow the following steps:
- Go to Admin Menu Templates Link Templates
- Clone current link template
- Replace
[download_link] with <a href="[page_url]">[link_label]</a>
- Save as new link template and use the new link template with your shortcode
But if you want to play the uploaded video with the package instead of download it, go to wpdm settings, check the option “Open in Browser” and Save settings.
To make those green, please use following css:
.inddl.btn-primary{
background: #28B473 !important;
}
And please follow the following doc to change button label:
single_file_download_link_label – Filters the single file download link label of the package before print it.
#1. Replace get_the_date() with get_the_modified_date( )
#2. Replace the_permalink() with wpdm_download_url(get_the_ID()), but this only will work if package is public, no lock option is applied.
Occasionally, one of my packages is a link to an embedded video. When I do this, I want to change the “Download” button’s behavior so that it doesn’t link to a file, but instead just opens the package’s page so the embedded video can be viewed.
How can this be managed?
Here’s a screenshot of a video package where I would like to change the “Download” button to read “View Video”, for example, and the link behavior should do the same thing as clicking the title of the package.

in that case, you need to create a new link template linking title with download URL instead of the details page. Please follow the docs:
Templates
Thanks
This seems to work okay, but the widget links are taking me to an info page for the documents. Can I bypass that and make the links instantly download the document/open it in browser?
Thank you
Actually, no limitation in code, no session or download link expiration as many many thousands users server GB size files without trouble. You said pause and resume multiple times and it works in that way, which indicates, it is an issue with servers’ PHP execution timeout. If you can’t resolve it from server support and also don’t want to get AWS, the alternative solution is, attaching files as URL from the same server.

If you want to change the label just use the Link Label option in package settings.

It is not possible to use Link Template in all downloads table. Yoy can use Directory add-on for this purpose. It show list of downloads in various ways and has link template support.
i have a problem with search bar. I have installed “Download Manager Pro” and “WPDM Directory Add On”.
I’ve create a page with this code:
[wpdm-archive category=”199″ cat_view=”extended” button_style=”primary” link_template=”58dc017308a92″ order_by=”date” order=”asc” items_per_page=”10″]
This work fine, show the subacategories and documents, and when i do a click in some subcategorie show the documents.
The problem is with the search bar. When i search te term “Acuerdo” the answer is “No download found!” but i have many documents with this word in the title and in the description.
Now when i do the same search but i change the field “Order by” to “View Count” then the search works fine.
Then if i search with the field “order by” in “Title” don’t work but in “View Count” works fine.
Don’t work: 1. Title, Publish Date, Last Updated.
Works fine: View Count, Download Count, Package Size,
Is it possible to customise the ‘Download’ link within wpdm-all-downloads.php ?
I’d like to use one of the ‘Link Templates’ if possible – e.g. – link-template-calltoaction3
Many Thanks
Hi Piotr P,
Please use the following link to upgrade your license from Pro to Business. Let me know when it is done.

Create a separate support ticket if you have any other issue with the download manager.
Thanks.
