The shortcode used there is:
[wpdm-archive button_style="inverse" link_template="link-template-panel-1-3" order_by="post_title" order="asc" items_per_page="10" cat_view="compact"]
You may use the following add-on to generate shortcode:

Thank you very much Shaon, as I get familiar with this product while setting up my new site I see that it is every bit as valuable and well built as I expected.
It is forcing me to extend my coding skills too. I’ve read up on the Combinators for Selectors so I completely get the formatting now. Because you’ve laid everything out so well it is really actually quite easy.
The last question I have for this thread is this:
I cannot get the font color to change for the actual [Page_Link]. I this becasue it is inside a shortcode?
I thought the complete identifier for the css element was:
.col-md-6 .thumbnail .media .media-body .h4 {
color:blue;
}
But no combination gets the font color to respond.
My Link Template code:
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="thumbnail">
<div class="media">
<a class="pull-left" href="[page_url]">[icon]</a>
<div class="media-body">
<h4 style="padding-top: 70px;border:0px;margin:0px;">[page_link]</h4>
[download_link] <i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="fa fa-th-large"></i></br>
[file_size] <i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="fa fa-download-alt"></i></br>
[download_count] downloads

I appreciate the help thus far, and I understand if it’s too lengthy to do this feature by feature in a forum thread.
However as I initially asked I’d like to try to customize it myself, but like many other previous requests in the forum, it would be nice to know the list of predefined CSS selectors and functions we need to edit in the style.css and functions.php ?
While the template editor does provide a lot of helpful code to customize many other links and page features, but all it allows me to do with [download_link_extended] is rearrange the default design.
Do you provide any documentation for paid Pro users that want to make further customizations to [download_link_extended] on their own ?
Thank you.
@manuelpalachuk, you simply need to create a new link/page template or clone an existing template, then edit html and save. Yes, you can override class css styles by apply new rules for that class in custom css box showed in earlier reply :), but please let me know if anything is not clear, or you may also give me a mockup image of the template, in that case, I can suggest your proper css.
@jj1, Yes, you need to create a new link template only using tag [download_link_extended]
The URL’s was not working due to htaccess rules or something else related to your server, however, I modified download link code little bit and now they are working fine. Please check here: http://biometaldemo.eu/wpdm-test/.

Hi, I’m trying to add Download Manager to an existing site.
I currently have download buttons appearing in a side bar on the right of my page. These are added by including the links in ‘Custom fields’ section of the page.
When I replace the links with the Shortcode for Download Manager, it only displays the shortcode. Is there any way to get the custom fields to render the shortcode to get the Download Manager functionality?
Thanks,
Dave

Yes it would be nice to learn more about CSS selectors so we can customize templates variables.
For example how can I customize the Email lock variable [download_link_extended] using CSS?
I would like to edit the “Subscribe to download” title as well as the color of the “Download” button.
Also is there any way to edit the default WPDM New Package widget to create a simpler e-mail before download opt-in using just the [download_link_extended] variable?
Many thanks.
For search button and category selector, you may use following short-code:
[wpdm-archive button_style="inverse" link_template="link-template-panel-1-3" order_by="post_title" order="asc" items_per_page="10" cat_view="compact"]
Demo:
https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-compact/
For translation, did you create wpdmap-es_ES.po
?
Hi, Looks like there is an issue with the direct download link and restricted package. We will fix it in next release. Thanks.
WPDM 2.6 is very old version. We have moved to custom post type which was not available in version 2.6
Please use migration add-on to import packages to the new version. It also imports your old category. But sometimes package and links can not retrieved.

Hello

Hello,
I am creating a custom template. I have started by cloning another template. I have the template how I want it to look but need help making sure that functions are correct (as I just copy and pasted from a demo page on my site).
I have attached an image of my preview as well as the code for that preview.
My questions:
What are the functions that I need to call out for the password and download form in order to offer an instant download (open link to box.com) after the user enters the correct password?
Also: is there anywhere where we can see the CSS for the base elements? I see that this template is referencing different classes but how I can find out what is defined for those classes? I’d like to change a few colors as well.
Thanks for the help!

Is it possible that the tableview change the “Download link” and “Title link” to a specific page?

So i’ve just checked google and some of the links looks like this:
http://playernotes.pl/?wpdmtask=get_downloads&pg=3415&search=&cp=16
– those are not static pages or anything, but google indexing those, so it’s rather a mentionable kind of problem. How can i deal with those?
I have a multisite. I have been using WPDM Pro on one subsite for quite some time. Decided to start using it on another site, that needs to also post downloadable content from the same “repository” of files.
So I activated it, and put in the same path to the file browser root.
Then I created a new download, by selecting from the browser. It seems fine, I added a description, etc. and then posted it.
Now when I use the permalink shown on the edit screen, I get a plain white screen with this error message:
Invalid File ID or File Name.
I also tried to put in my pro license key on the subsite, and it says it’s invalid, but I just paid up recently so it should be active. All the sites in my multisite are for the same company — they are not subsites owned by others, but the one I’m working on now does have a different mapped domain, if that makes any difference.
Any idea what’s up?

When here someone says, if this add-on will work with old attachments/links/downloads, we take it as, he is already using download manager and talking about the data he already added, but no problem, if you don’t need it, I shall ask financial section to cancel your purchase, please give me your order ID in a private reply.
For the form lock, it triggers download immediately, but if you want to email download link, you need to check Email Download Link
option:
https://www.evernote.com/l/AV2FSyE-12lCWpb9EhADhh_RElE_HviZlG4B/image.png
Also, we are going remove token email with the next update of the live form plugin.
Thank you for the link. I am aware of and have started working with the templates.
But there is nothing in the post about changing the format or adding css.
I just need one solid example of how the css gets defined in the tempalte.
Or a list of the css tags to change for a template.
Do I just drop in new css definitions into the the top of the tempalte and add my own tags?

Hello,
I have created 21 download packages.
I have the WPDM – Extended Short-codes plugin installed and I’m using the shortcode: [wpdm_packages template="link-template-default-icon" item_per_page="30"]
But only 10 items show on the page.
I’ve even set Blog pages show at most posts to 100.
What am I missing?
Thanks
