Your current link is generated by a shortcode that looks like [wpdm_pacakge id="package_id"]
To show direct download link use [wpdm_direct_link id="package_id"] shortcode. Check following screenshot, both shortcodes are showing same package. But the second one has direct download link.

It is not possible as it is shown in your screenshot.
There is a template tag for showing package tags. May be you can utilize that on a custom link template. You have to add New tag in your package for that. Although it will show all tags assigned to a download including the New tag. But it is a smooth solution in this case as you have to remove the new tag later.
Hi,
After enabling E-Mail lock, the file is not downloaded anymore in the browser. However the link in the sent email, works. But I want that the file is downloaded automatically same as with no E-Mail lock.
Please advice.

That is because of your theme css. You also may try with other link template or you can create new link template from Admin Menu Downloads Templates, also, you don’t need to add screenshot separately, you could add screenshot as feature image with package.
you can use [download_url] tag in link/page template for direct download link, but it only will work for public downloads where you didn’t apply any lock option. Or you can use short0code [wpdm_direct_link id="PACKAGE-ID"]
Click “Reload” link in “Update” page to refresh it with latest data.
However, you can download latest version of wpdm pro from here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/user-dashboard/purchases/ , delete old version and install latest, the process will not harm any of your data. You can download latest version of premium package ad-on from here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/premium-package-wordpress-digital-store-solution/ .
Attached is an image of what I want to deactivate as a link. Currently if they click on the title it will take the to the download page. I would prefer to have it so that the title did not link to the actual download page. I would rather them stay on the current page and use only the cloud button. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks!
Hi,
Once I activate the Download Manager Plugin, a white bar with a link “Datei herunterladen” appears on each page at the bottom. How can I remove that?
See attached screenshot.
Thanks.
I purchase WPDM Pro and was provided a download link (for files, not the plug in) and a license key. But there is no where for me to enter my license key in my Download Manager plugin. I am also not able to confirm my account status via WordPress plug in.
If you want, you can use separate form for each package, but that actually will be too much of work. Also for security reason, download link generate by email lock expires after it is used for 3 times or package is updated. However, we shall and an option to save package ID with form entry with the next update of the add-on.
Yes, that is possible, you can add remote url as download link. 3 options with attach file metabox, upload, browse and url, you need to use “url” tab.
Hi,
I am trying to achieve what I would expect is an easy thing. Apparently it is not or I am just going about it the wrong way.
Here is what I need:
I have PDFs. I want users (not logged in) to fill out a form (first, last, company, title, email) and get an email with their download link. This person should get an email with a download link. The person should and their fields should be recorded in Mailchimp. And have some record of wjo downloaded what in WPDM if not gravity forms.
I currently have this setup:
Packages with form lock. “email download link” is checked.
Gravity forms are capturing the user input. I have the [package id} inside a hidden field in gravity. OK.
Now, sending the email. Since I have many pdfs I have to setup the one gravity form with conditional email sends for each package so teh suer gets the right one.
It is working – but because there is only one gravity form I can;t tell who downloaded what.
Plus I have to add the conditions every time I want to add a new PDF
And anytime I update the package the master key changes so I have to update the conditions in gravity or user gets an “link-expired.txt” file.
The whole point of me getting this was to streamline the management of these PDFs. With this worklfow it ends up being as much if not more work
Alternate approach – failed
Purchased Mailchimp add on – fail.
It doesn’t allow for custom fields. Only first last email. I need the fields mentioned above
Alternate approach – Webhooks and zapier.
But why would I have to go through even testing that for something that should be so simple?
What am I missing? Am I doing something wrong???
popup will not work for form lock. However, now download link in table will go to details page when any lock option is applied.
Hey,
I was curious if there is a way to have a download happen through an offsite link instead of uploading a file?
We want to stream line the way we update our manuals. Instead of always re-uploading the file when changes are made, we want the download to pull from our sharepoint site link.
Is there a way to do that with this plugin or are we only capable of uploading files?
Thanks!
I have installed the Facebook share lock on my site: http://vsagar.org/download/free-download-12th-electronics-guessing-paper-2017/
Before installing this add-on everything was alright about this download file.
But now as I share it on FB, I get following error:
Download link is expired. Please get new download link.
Please help
Thanks Shahriar…that worked. Unfortunately when I used it on a single post page there was a problem with the following function in download-manager.php
function wpFooter(){
if(is_single()&&get_post_type()=='wpdmpro'){
?>
<script>
jQuery(function($){
$.get('<?php echo 'index.php?_nonce='.wp_create_nonce('__wpdm_view_count').'&id='.get_the_ID(); ?>');
$('a.wpdm-lightbox').nivoLightbox();
});
</script>
<?php
}
}
I was getting a not found for nivoLightbox which was halting my PHP code. I put a return in at the beginning of your function so I could continue developing, but was wondering if there’s a better fix so that the problem doesn’t return when I update your plugin.
One other question if you don’t mind…
Is there a way to have PDFs linked to with getMasterDownloadURL open in a new tab rather than downloading?
Thanks again,
Matthew
I purchased this add-on and installed it correctly with the given guidelines.
Created the app on FB and did all steps as indicated.
But I am receiving following error while sharing download on FB from my site at this link.
App Not Setup: This app is still in development mode, and you don’t have access to it. Switch to a registered test user or ask an app admin for permissions.
Another problem is the Share button is not displayed properly on my download page as shown with arrow in this attached screenshot.
Please help.
If you are trying to do something like this http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/categories/ , you will need archive page add-on. However a new short-code to putting single category link only, will be available from next update.
Hi,
in my installation the front-end uploader doesn’t create the download link. In the attached file field instead of the file name (as i see in the file uploaded from the backend) I found the absolute path of the file, like: “/var/www/html/intranet/wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files/andreao/Sosta e Parcheggi ATM.pdf”. The download link is not created.
Thanks
Ok thanks. I’ll take a look. One more question. We want to send the download link via email. How do you suggest I do that.
1. Gravity form send the emil with download link. One gravity form for all packages. Conditionally sends the correct emails based on the package id captured. We’d pre create one notification email per package with a static link to the download the package. Here, does the wpdmkey expire or anything like that?
2. WPDM sends the email with appropriate link. How is that part accomplished?
Thanks again for your help
Directory add-on usage explained here:
WPDM Directory Add-on
The short-code used in demo page is:
[wpdm-archive button_style="inverse" link_template="link-template-panel-1-3" order_by="post_title" order="asc" items_per_page="10" cols="2"]
