I’ve got a site where the flat archive shortcode is not working – I’ve tested plugin/theme issues by changing to the 2024 WordPress theme & disabling all the plugins except the WP Download plugin.
Here’s a link to a test page I’ve got running (currently still the 2024 theme & no additional plugins)
Here is the shortcode that I need working:
[wpdm_archive_flat category=”soff-newsletters” include_children=1 order_by=”post_title” order=”desc” items_per_page=”999″]
This shortcode is from another site that has a simpler category structure — it is working perfectly (https://savethewhiskers.org/resources/) — if you look at my test page, you’ll see it is one of the shortcodes that is not working.
[wpdm_archive_flat order_by=”post_title” order=”asc” items_per_page=”999″]
I place links to package documents on my site using the Download Manager short codes. Each package contains only a single PDF. I want a link template that points directly to the PDF on the server, e.g. the link should be “…/myurl/wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files/mypackagedocument.pdf”. Instead, the link is the Download Manager short code, e.g. “…/myurl?wpdmdl=16123&ind=17150293486941”, and each time the link is accessed a new url is created with a unique ?refresh parameter added. Can I easily create a template (or does one exist) that would allow me to link directly to the PDF on the server?
We use the RSS feed facility of Download Manager for several of our sites. The current reader is based in ColdFusion, and works just fine, but we’re moving to a WordPress-based reader (Feedzy), and this sees the Download Manager feed as invalid. The error is:
Sorry, some part of this feed is currently unavailable or does not exist anymore. The detailed error is
https://sites.clarku.edu/business-docs/downloads/payroll-forms/feed/ is invalid XML, likely due to invalid characters.
XML error: EntityRef: expecting ‘;’ at line 188, column 288
Testing with https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi throws the error “Self reference doesn’t match document location“, and highlights the offending line:
<atom:link href="https://sites.clarku.edu/business-docs/downloads/payroll-forms/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
We’re on the latest version of Download Manager Pro (6.5.3), and our WordPress version is 6.5.3. Is there any way to fix this?

HI,
Can you advise on how we can disable the singular and page link from the shortcode: [wpdm_all_packages]
I’ve found the code:
case ‘page_link’:
//echo “” . get_the_title() . “<br/>”;
echo “<span class=\”package-title\”>” . get_the_title() . “</span><br/>”;
break;
Which is on line: 345-348 in the file: /download-manager/src/Package/views/all-packages-shortcode.php
But i don’t like to modify plugin files as these will get updated over time and re-introduce the link.
Can you advise on the best way to do this please?
How to create a download page template that loads without the theme header? I have the download pages set to load within Woocommerce dashboard and when the link to the download package opens within the user dashboard it loads the header and menu again. How to disable that?

I’m having an issue with the embedded links to a download. When I put the link to a download onto a post, it embeds it, however when you try and go to the download or click he download button, nothing happens and it doesn’t go to the Download page.
Below is the Chrome console errors when I click either of the links to go to the download page and I’ve included a post URL as an example:
Post Page with link to download page: https://techygeekshome.info/2024/04/java-8-411/
Download Page: https://techygeekshome.info/wpdm-package/java-8-update-411/

Link to download takes user to an error page: Your composer dependencies require a PHP version >8.1
PHP version of site is: 7.4.33
Can you download the plugin to a version that works with 7.4.33? This occurred after an automatic Download Manager update.
