For anyone else with the parse error…
The problem files are:
/libs/socialconnect/facebookconnect.php
/libs/socialconnect/linkedinconnect.php
/libs/socialconnect/twitterconnect.php
#1 Make a backup of those 3 files for posterity 😉
#2 If you don’t need them (which i don’t) then edit and delete everything after the <?php
Now you can at least install the update and the download manager works as intended.
Maybe the site-owner can get eventually get around to fixing those 3 files… but judging by the posts in this thread i won’t be waiting
on an update with baited breath :p
Hi,
You can do that by applying email lock in a package. But you need to use link template to show the download button. You can build your custom link template if you want a customized look.
Thanks.
Also! Is it possible to just have a download button on the items? When you click on the PDF title or image it takes you to the package page, can we disable this link?
Hi Shahriar
I have created the link template with the replacement tag. It works here with the brochure but not the case studies. Can you advise?
http://geofabricsdevelopment.com.gridhosted.co.uk/final-cover-systems/
Also, on the download page here http://geofabricsdevelopment.com.gridhosted.co.uk/downloads/ how can I show the first page as an image like i have done on the page above?
And when you link through on clicking “View Details” I just want the one “download” button and not the text that repeats after it?
Can I change the colour of the button to a blue to match the corporate sites colour?
kind regards
Matt
Hi there,
I’m using Download Manager Pro on a site I’m building at the moment. The client has newsletters in PDF format which I am uploading to the site and allowing visitors to download. You can see it in action here: http://makeaspectacle.co.uk/hogg-new/newsletter/
What I would like to do ideally is let the user choose to either view the file online or download it to their computer. I was going to modify the template files to add a link to the file attached to each package, but I couldn’t see this as an option.
Is there a way in which I can link through to the attachment as well as giving the user the option to download it?
Many thanks
Hannah
Hello. I want to ask the user for their email address as soon as they click on a button on my website. I’m using buttons that are built into Visual Composer. How do I make the email form pop up when clicking on a button instead of taking the user to a download page?
I tried adding the #pkg_5123_5819cc549a246 to a button on my site but it doesn’t work
Thanks.
Is there a reason why one does not get any answer from the support (support@wpdownloadmanager.com)? I have sent an email on 27th of october and reminder on 29th (and one more right now) about two serious issues with renewal and new sales through an affiliate link. No reaction at all – not even an auto responder.
Hi,
I cannot figure out how to have some text translated as they are not in the .po file.
For example on this page http://work.syneval.com/comment-changer-de-syndic/ the error message if you validate whithout the email or the “Email Address” or “Send Download Link To:”.
Thank you for your Help.
Hi,
Use TinyMCE button add-on to insert shortcode. Select Cat View Compact and Link template Panel-1/3
You will find Archive Page shortcode options in Other Shortcodes Tab.
Thanks.
Hello,
I’m trying to create my page to look like the below:
http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-compact/
I have put the following shortcode in but it doesn’t look the same:
[wpdm-archive button_style=”default” link_template=”link-template-panel” items_per_page=”10″ category=”category-slug” order_by=”field-name” order=”asc|desc”]
What shortcode should I use?
Many thanks
Christina
Hi,
You need Directory Add-on to create the category list shown in that link. This add-on has some other useful shortcodes too.
Thanks.
Hi Shaon,
I must have mis-communicated the problem. What has happened at least 2, maybe 3 times is that things are set up perfectly, then the link to Downloads in Appearances: Menus disappears.
That template is only available with pro version, but as you already have directory add-on, I’m adding the template here for you. Download this:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/codename065/2a2e16a7a731cdf018c63455fdcd8d75/raw/1a30f1da509eae8370f317e20817492b65f87641/link-template-panel-1-3.php
and put it it /plugins/download-manager/tpls/link-templates/ dir.
For now there is no other way to customize without editing class.FileList.php, we couldn’t keep it in template file due to some complex conditions with download link. Probably you may try applying some css for the classes used there.
Hi,
We have two separate issues I need to discuss:
Issue 1:
We have a site configured on two different servers. One of them uses Apache and is delivering the downloaded files perfectly fine.
The other uses IIS and files are not being downloaded correctly through the front end. We only ever see “file-not-found.txt” files, or if there are multiple downloads then a ZIP is created which is empty.
Is there anything I need to be aware of in terms of server configuration? Or do you know why this might be the case?
Issue 2:
We use this plugin to protect our file downloads, they should not be publicly accessible. I can however see that the files that we added are publicly accessible (I will not post the link here).
How can we protect the /wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files folder from direct access?
Thanks!
Hi,
Please check the Access type of the file. Then Clear your browser cache. Try downloading again.
If it doesn’t works would you mind providing us with login credentials so we can take a closer look? To do this, you can make a post with the following info:
– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password

yes, none of the following youtube shortcodes work whether in a page or a Download Manager link template or page template:
[youtube_thumb_0]
[youtube_thumb_1]
[youtube_thumb_2]
[youtube_thumb_3]
[youtube_player]
Hi Shaon,
Thank you for the reply.
Yes sorry you are missing what I meant, just go one step further from the /client-dashboard page and click on the package link, and you will see it’s a blank page with only the title of the package – nothing is showing if I remove the shortcode [wpdm_my_downloads login=1] from the packages content?
Also, if I do put back the shortcode inside the packages I can see the files I uploaded via FTP and it’s super important that I keep the folder structure I have from my FTP folder so I have made Link Template ‘3 columns detailed’ but once I click on the folders links or the Browse buttons they are empty, nothing shows. What am I doing wrong?
Please-please assist me to get this working the way it should.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Jhorene
Hi, actually password doesn’t have any relation with the download process, it totally depends on your server and php settings, please give me temporary link and temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply to check.
Hi,
You need Crypton theme to make that exact design like screenshot 2.
First screenshot uses ‘3 Columns, Detailed’ link template. When inserting download shortcode use that link template.
To insert shortcode easily use TinyMCE addon.
Let me know if you have any more question.
Thanks.
I have the excact same question. Using form-lock and ninja forms there is no valid download link neither on the page nor sent by email.
I didn’t expect the form to replace the link but to appear after clicking on the link like for the password lock. Can this be done somehow?

My link template on a category page has a formatting issue when the user doesn’t have permission to download the document. It looks like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g5oirm5618fnsjm/Screenshot%202016-10-24%2000.48.46.png?dl=0
How can I fix the height of the red error image so that the “Login required to access this file” is fully visible?
Thanks.
