Hi there,
I see there are a number of support threads with a similar topic, but none I have seen exactly help.
I am using email lock with instant download available. This appears to be working fine.
An email is sent to the subscriber’s email address. On first click of the download link, the download works, but on subsequent attempts to access the file, we get a download link expired text file.
Why is the link expiring and how can that be prevented?
Thanks,
James
Good morning,
I have this big problem: after update to wordpress 4.7, many links for the immediate download do not work!
I use this simple template:
<div><a href="[download_url]">[title]</a></div>
thanks

Hi, I have a text list of forms on my site that offer users the option to either “Submit Online” (text that links to a page that has the Gravity Forms version of the form) or to “Print & Mail” (which currently links to the package details page, including the Download link so they can download the pdf). I would like to bypass the package details page and have the words “Print & Mail” go directly to the pdf. How do I do that? Thanks!
Hi,
Please use following code in your custom link template and use that custom template in package settings or shortcode.
<div><a href="[download_url]">[title]</a></div>
Let me know if you face any difficulty there.
Thanks.

Hi,
I would like to use download manager pro to download files with a simple link (Like the media gallery).
So, my packages are made of only one file. Can you tell me how I have to make the template to obtain the link with title description?
thanks
Daniele
I created a menu item for Frontend access and I’m getting this error.
Fatal error: Cannot access property started with ‘\0’ in /home/ssfpus5/public_html/Energex/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/libs/class.Package.php on line 234
I also get this error if I use any link template other than button template
Hello
I just updated to the last version 2.8.5 of the Directory Add-on and since then the categories disappeared, my configuration is simple
[wpdm-archive category=”153″ cat_view=”extended” button_style=”default” link_template=”56dc813e3803d” order_by=”post_title” order=”asc” items_per_page=”10″]
153 is a category with a bunch of subcategories inside.
The WPDMP version is the last one 4.6
The page is: http://www.epos.ch/downloads-area/download-database/
Thank you.
Hi,
You can use your own template for add new page.
You have to use the download-manager/tpls/wpdm-add-new-page-front.php template. Check this documentation for more info.
Remove ending / from your permalink settings. That should fix the url issue.
Thanks.
Thank you for your answer but it does not work.
I’ve noticed that it is possible to download some individual files, but most of it not.
Here is download page link: https://beta.salzburg-verkehr.at/service/service-fuer-betriebe/downloads-b2b/
Thank you for your support.
Try disabling output buffering and resumable download from WPDM Settigns Basic File Download Panel.
Please send me the download page link and login info in private reply if suggested settings does not work.

This thread does show a few issues that could be resolved fairly easily:
1. If the minimum PHP requirement for a plugin is above the minimum needed for WordPress core (which is currently PHP 5.2.4), then it should be very clearly stated in prominent places that this is the case. Neither the doiwnload page nor the documentation (e.g. Installation page under docs) mention that the minimum is now PHP 5.4.
2. Because of this rather high minimum requirement, older versions compatible with PHP 5.3 should be downloadable. It’s not acceptable for users having to (repeatedly) post to the support forum about the compatibility issue and not be able to downgrade until someone PM’s them or posts a Dropbox link up!
3. (Slightly harder this one) I still maintain that pre-5.4 compatibility for a plugin should be a target to strive for. Long term releases (particularly for Enterprise distros like RHEL/CentOS/SUSE) of Linux tend to stick to a particular PHP release and backport fixes (but not language features) from later releases. There’s still 4 years of support left on RHEL/CentOS 6 – by dropping PHP 5.3 support and not allowing older releases to be downloaded, you’re excluding a fair chunk of the hosting community.

I am having a similar problem as above, but I did not see any solutions (I am a new pro user). This is the page that a couple of weeks ago would open files under each section. http://ohiopha.org/public-health-info/document-library/
Below is all the shortcodes, but only the sections has subcatagories – BUT it did work. Could moving from the free to pro version have caused this?
[su_tabs][su_tab title=”OPHA Governance”]
[wpdm_tree category=”governance” download_link=1 items_per_page=10]
[/su_tab]
[su_tab title=”Sections”]
[wpdm_tree category=”sections” download_link=1 items_per_page=20][/su_tab]
[su_tab title=”Policy & Position Statements”]
[wpdm_tree category=”policy” download_link=1 items_per_page=10][/su_tab]
[su_tab title=”Other”]
[wpdm_tree category=”other” download_link=1 items_per_page=10][/su_tab][/su_tabs]
Really would appreciate some response.

I actually figured it out. I just had to fill in email template fields.
It’s working now.
Last two questions.
What’s the easiest way to change the download button text? It says “Download” but I need to change it to something else.
Also what’s the esiest way to change CSS for the pop up menu and the button?
I use template variable [download_link].
Thanks,
alex

Found the issue. It is actually not related to browser.
You were trying to download as a guest in Safari. As your downloads are email locked, guest can’t access the download directly. [download_url] tag we used in the template returns the direct download link, but when package is locked it returns #
So if package is locked there is no option but to use [download_link_entended] or [download_link] tag. And no option yet to open in new tab when using these tags.
I have created another link template Moritz Clone. Make you template code similar to it if you want to use email lock in all downloads. You can keep a copy of current Moritz template to use in downloads where you don’t have email lock. It will open files in new tab.

Use shortcode to place download links of images in those posts.
1. Create packages and attache one or more image to each package.
2. Each package has it’s own shortcode. Place the shortcode in the related post.
So you don’t have to change your posts url.
One more;-)
The “Advanced Search” didnt show the Downloads at first. How can we show the latest Downalods in combination with the Advanced Search by first view. We treid it with insert categories=”downloads”
look like this:
[wpdm_search_page link_template=”581c65c735e81″ categories=”downloads” order_by=”date” order=”asc” paging=”1″ items_per_page=”10″ desc=”” cols=1 colsphone=1 colspad=1 position=”left”]
but it doesnt works.
thnaks a lot for helping
I’m trying to create a repository of files that can each only be downloaded ONCE and ONLY ONCE with an email lock. I’ve created 2 packages as a test and set the Stock Limit to 1.
I have 2 issues:
1) I am using the wpdm_category tag on a page to display available download packages. I do NOT want a package to display if it has met or exceeded its Stock Limit. In other words, if it’s been downloaded, it should disappear from the list. Is there a way to filter them out of the results?
2) I’ve successfully downloaded one of the packages 4 times from different email addresses and the download count seems to remain stuck on 1, neither am I given any warning about exceeding the stock limits. Does that feature actually work? Each time I’ve put in a different email address, and I’ve received the emails (albeit in my spam folder), clicked on the links, and fully downloaded the files.

Your help is appreciated!
Hello,
I have hundreds of posts where user is offered an image to be downloaded. I wonder if you can provide any advice on how I can migrate my existing images to WPDM, while preserving URLs of the posts using them?
Thank you
I see you are using Image button there. Instead of Download text, i have placed the image inside <a></a>tags. Now links are opening in new tab.
