Hi Shahriar,
I would like to change the default [download_link_extended] design to a simpler inline opt-in as pictured in the attachment.
I plan on using different colors and text but I would like the the same basic form layout.
If you have any recommendations that will be greatly appreciated since I don’t have the predefined CSS classes you used to style the [download_link_extended] form, but I will try to use the inspector as well.
Many thanks.
As shaon mentioned in #55646
#2. They can configure their public profile page ( store display page ) from here http://clics.online/store/author-dashboard/?adb_page=edit-profile
And To sell items, your need to configure payment gateways ( docs: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/using-premium-package/settings-premium-package/ )
Anyone can signup from here http://clics.online/store/sign-up/
And start selling from http://clics.online/store/author-dashboard/, in wpdm setting front-end page, you can keep their product pending for approval or auto publish.
All docs, explaining those features are available here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docs/
Actually the code part of [download_link_extended] is complex, please give me a screenshot mockup making what you exactly want to change, so that, I can suggest your required CSS changes. But, if you are looking for the names of CSS classes and IDs, you may use inspector like this:

Thank you for the action, filter, and function references Shaon.
I haven’t been able to find the other predefined CSS classes you used to style the [download_link_extended] form.
I know you’ve already mentioned .wpdm_submit.btn.btn-success in your earlier post, but what about the other classes and ID’s?
I would really appreciate that info so that I can customize the [download_link_extended] form.
Many thanks.
If you are using multi-site structure, you don’t need additional add-ons, you simply need to activate wpdm in each subsite separately, Admin of any subsite will be able to manage his category and downloads the way they want, as items of one subsite doesn’t interfere with items of another subsite.
But,
#1. if you want to allow the admin to edit categories from front-end, what will require some customization ( Around 3 hours ). = $225 – https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/custom-upgrade-service/
#2. You will need developer license of WordPress Download Manager = ( Upgrade price is $175, upgrade link https://www.2checkout.com/checkout/purchase?sid=1560048&quantity=1&product_id=6 )
So, total cost is only $400, you even don’t have to go to bank, a punch from your credit card corner will be enough 😀
Hi,
what can I do : Download is not possible: Expired link. I use the prof version and the password lock.
It works with firefox but not with safari.
Thanks
W.
You can do it manually in this way:
<a href="//your-site-url/?wpdmdl=[ADD_FILE_ID]">[your custom button image or text]</a>
Or, use short-code:
[wpdm_package id="[ID]" template="link-template-button.php"]
And use the following add-on to add your custom button image:
WPDM Image Button
Thanks Shaon.
The url is: http://atesolutions.co.uk.gridhosted.co.uk/module-testing/flex-10/
On the right hand side there are a number of download links.
The first one is attempting to use the shortcode.
The next four are the original buttons with no shortcode.
The bottom button labelled ‘Download’ is using your shortcode but added via a text widget. This proves the shortcode works normally when not used in a custom field. However as I need different buttons on each page I cannot add them using the text widget.
I have added the following code to my page template used for that page:
echo apply_filters('the_content', get_post_meta($post->ID,'pdf_download_button', true));
The name of the custom field is: Pdf Download Button
Thanks for taking the time to help.
Kind Regards,
David
Sorry for your trouble, your order is now linked with your account, please go to premium download area ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/purchases/ ) to download.
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:
Advanced TinyMCE button
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
</div>

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!
