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,

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"]

Ok I have updated to latest version 4.6.1 and enabled caching parameters as mentions for Cache and the problem is now even worse.
You still get download link expired but worse than that if set to download only (nothing happens at all, you don’t even get link expired, if you choose download and send email they get an email but the link expires (occasionally it works when you first seem to set it up.
I am sorry but this plugin seems to have way too many bugs, I have it installed on two separate sites and the same problems happen on both. I have now had to disable all features just so clients can download the PDF docs. There is obviously a fundamental flaw somewhere between caching and your plugin, and 4.6.1 has made it worse as they get no instant download link now at all.
1. It is not possible to automatically add users to a level. Registered user must subscribe to a plan ( use [wpmp-membership-plans] shortcode to show all plans, user can subscribe from this page ) to access downloads assigned to that plan.
2. User can access all membership downloads from dashboard or a custom download page ( use [wppm_downloadarea] shortcode to create custom download page )
3. Sorry not cleat. But if you are trying to change button of link/page template then use Image button or Button Templates add-on.
1. I have managed to link the download to member sign up (I only have one level “Exclusive) but when try signing up it goes for subscribers and it doesnt automatically link to that member status level, how do I make sure that the sign up form is linked to that specific member level?
2. When click to download the pdf, it links to the pdf page but it just says “This content is for Exclusive members only.” and doesnt have the form to register or login. How do I add these elements to the download page itself? [see attached] What does related post mean?
3. Can we have our own button that links to the download link instead of putting the code in on the page? If not can we change how the icon looks?
Here are some Screenshots and my Code for the Link Template:
<div class="spd_wpdm_liste">
<div style="float: left; width: 150px;">[create_date]</div>
<div style="color: #ff0000; float: left;">[title]</div>
<div class="pull-right"> [download_link]</div>
</div>
Picture Browser large
Picture Browser smaller
I know that I can do a new link template, and this is what I have done, but around this template and all my downloads, wpdm is putting this two div containers around. and I cant change this. Or I dont know where.
<div class='row'><div class='col-md-12 col-sm-6 col-xs-12'>
thx for your help
The license key when entered says that it is invalid. I’m wondering why that is? I was using the plugin locally while developing and entered the license key and have removed the license key since I’m migrating to staging and wanted to test in staging. Now when entering the license key, it says that it is invalid. I’m assuming that the license key can be reset, in which if that could be done, that’d be awesome.
Also, one other issue is that the user dashboard urls generated lead to 404 pages.
On the local development site, the logout url is : downloads-dashboard/?udb_page=logout
but in staging the url is : downloads-dashboard/logout
How do I fix the urls being generated? Is this due to the license key? I’ve tried updating all settings in staging, updating permalinks and still all of the logout, profile update, etc… URL’s are resulting in a 404 error.
It may happen if you installed any cache plugin, you need to exclude download link ( \?wpdmdl.* ) from page cache.

You can create new link template as per your requirement from Admin Menu Download Templates
Docs:
Creating a new template
I created a package that contains two jpegs. Then created a page with a button for that package using the tinymce button (shortcode is [wpdm_package id=1577 template="link-template-button.php"]). On my computer, I can go to that page and download the package/zip file just fine. But, some of my clients are complaining that they get a download link expired message. Why is this happening? Thank you!
Problem has started again with expired links. Customers are now complaining that the instant download is giving them expired link.txt There is obviously a bug in the software somewhere, I have currently had to turn off the email lock so it works but this means I am no longer capturing data which makes the plugin pointless.
There must be an obvious reason for it, I cannot be the only user that has had this problem.
Any help greatly appreciated.
The “Download File” link is coming due to audio tag conflict with other plugin, however, you can resolve it selecting other page template like: Single Column, Image Top, Extended and disabling Single File Download:
I created a package with a link to a dropbox file. The front end page display (3) different download links. The download button under the meta data works fine, but there’s a text link that is white until i hover over it and doesn’t go anywhere and then there’s a small download button next to my file name that also doesn’t go anywhere.
See attached screenshot.
Can I just display the one button that works?
Hi,
Our website has a SSL certificate applied meaning every page is HTTPS. For instance https://www.excellgroup.com/legal-and-terms/terms/ when viewed in Chrome shows the SSL “secure” text and lock new to the url.
Any page that has a WP Download link template on it, for example https://www.excellgroup.com/legal-and-terms/conditions-of-trade/, does not show the secure text next to the URL, indicating the content isn’t secure.
How do I make the the link templates secure?
Thanks
Seb
