Hi,
The option Download Limit underneath the Package settings isn’t working. I have set it to “1” so that after a single download the link will no longer work. For some reason, it’s not counting the downloads and therefore not locking the link.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Yes, it is possible.
Enable the Open File in Browser option from Downloads Settings Basic File Download Panel.
That will open file in same tab. If you want to open file in new tab use a custom link template. Clone the link template you are using now and replace [download_link] with following code,
<a target="_blank" href="[download_url]">Download</a>
I mean each time you add a package, for the attached file, I add an URL for the file to download (on an external server, i don’t use the “upload” function), this URL is set by me.
now all my packages have a URL http://ns32……… but i’m moving all my files to a server named http://ns42….. (still an external server, not the one where WordPress is set)
so all my downloads will not work, i can actually go inside each packages 1 by 1 to update the link to the new server, but doing than more than 3000 times is not what i want.
I tryied to modify those packages link directly into the database, but when i do that, when i edit a package, attached file URL is empty.
What are my solutions?
Hi there,
I found this thread on the ‘wpdm free’ forums where Shaon explicitly states, the goal of WPDM is to force the download rather than viewing the file in a new tab.
That was two years ago. Is that still true or is there a way to view, say a PDF, in a new browser tab when the link is clicked?
Reasoning: I want to use WPDM to sort, manage and categorize PDFs/ Flyers/ Posters etc without cluttering the default wordpress media library in wp-uploads. That doesn’t mean that, from time to time, some files are preferably being viewed in a new tab rather than being downloaded.
Thanks!
Sorry, not clear, download URLs are not static, they are dynamically generated and if you move content to another domain , link automatically use the new domain.
User will see such a notice when they click on download link.
Hi Shaon,
alright, I see. Obviously I changed that option and forgot about it. Still, one question remains: why are those packages, that are assigned to any category, blocked? Now that the above setting is set to ‘Block link’ all packages are show, but I still can’t actually download them :/
“Allow Access” is set to ‘All Visitors’ (translated to ‘jeder’ (everybody))
I see, that is actually because of this settings:

If you select “Hide Everything” it will hide full short-code content when user don’t have access to a package. And the other option will not hide full content, but only blocks download link.
You can check user specific stats from Users page. Visit the Download Stats link under username to see stats for that user.

Hi there,
I’m currently setting everything up, creating DL packages and DL categories. Inserting DLs into a post works fine, however I can only download them as long as they are not assigned to any category. As soon as I do that – doesn’t matter if it’s a parent or child category – the download will no longer work.
Being able to organize all downloadable files into categories is one of the key features that made me buy your plugin. I’ve tried using [download_url] and [download_link], switched between custom and pre-designed templates, but the only thing that will help is removing that package from any category.
Please advise.
When a user requests a download with email verification the user receives an email with a download link but the user receives a file “link-expired.txt”
This same file when an administrator user requests the download from the same package sends an email with link that results in a download.
Update to previous post.
Enabling any of the “lock options” results in inability to download.
Removing lock options allows downloads, so there is an error/bug somewhere in the lock options part.
Enabling linkedIn sharing or facebook liking even results in not loading the page completely so it seems there is a major issue.
Havent tested with all template styles, but that doesnt seem to be the issue, it is enabling any of the locking options.
Hello
Just bought download manager pro.
Created a package and created a shortcode at the following page : http://www.core-ict.be/emm
enabled instant downlad with email lock.
Download link does trigger download.
Clicking on the title “Interested in our full solution brief ?” loads download page but does not provide email field and again clicking download link does not trigger the actual download.
Seems i am missing something but clueless as to what exactly…
Any help out there ?
@Shaon: No, this is not what I mean. We changed the e-mail templates by ourselves. What I mean is this, the english texts in the link template and the download message. See screenshots below
Ok, I am not imagining this problem. I replaced WP Rocket with Supercache. NOTHING works! Please try to download a document from the link above – if you succeed than I will have your email on my system and it will be a proof that plugin works… If not please reimburse me $200 – I can’t spend hours sending emails back and forward
Kind regards
Yes, you can remove details page link using custom link template. Clone the link template ( Downloads Templates page ) you are using now. Replace [page_link] tag with [title]
Then use this custom link template in your shortcode. Use TinyMCE button to insert shortcode. You will find your custom link template in dropdown when inserting shortcode using TinyMCE addon.
Shortcodes won’t work in link/page templates. You can use per-defined template tags only. You can check following add-ons to change download buttons,

I’m using the “Buttons With Style” plugin for WordPress and would like to use those buttons as my “Download” button however, the shortcodes from BWS won’t render in my link/page templates.
Please use attached add-on to migrate data.

It appears that if I create a new download or remove and re-upload the files it shows the download button and password again.
I don’t have time to re-upload all my downloads. Is there a broken link?
I set this download up and haven’t checked it in months once I confirmed it was working properly. Got back on today to add more passwords and the insert password/download button is not longer showing on the customer page.
Help please!
I am running Version 4.5.5

also it shows “previous post” when they shouldn’t be able to navigate to other downloads.
I’m now implementing this same form on an updated theme for the same site. When the “Download” link is clicked, the window dims momentarily to the transparent overlay gray, and the popup form blinks once at the top of the screen. But then the overlay goes away, and no popup is presented. I had to be very quick to get this screen capture, it’s less than a 10th of a second on the screen.
It’s acting like a theme animation conflict, I think.
