We are changing hosting providers and copied all of our WP files to the new site. However, when I attempt to download a file, I notice that none of my PDF’s are linked. Is there a simple way to transfer all of the files from the old site to the new so that DMPro will recognize them?
How do you include a hyperlink to a document, e.g. that someone directly includes in a post on the site?
I tried copy & pasting the URL of a file package but it did not allow me through to the download page (I have all necessary permissions to download that particular file).
Thanks.

Hi,
Dropbox addon for Download Manager let you add files from Dropbox to your package. But WPDM Dropbox addon does not work like your current Dropbox plugin ( from you link ).
Download Limit add-on works with any packages independent of where files added from. Means it works with Dropbox add-on. You can apply limit to packages that have files attached from your Dropbox.
Thanks.
Do you have Download Manager Pro? Panel link template only works with Pro version. Please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply, if you have Pro version installed and still having issue.
Edit marked line from /download-manager/tpls/ directory.

Remove link from there, just use title,
<span><?php the_title(); ?></span>
Hi,
Not sure which template you are referring to. Is it frontend template for adding new file? You will find instructions about customizing template files here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/
If you are asking about Link or Page template, then please follow this doc http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/creating-a-new-template/
Hi guys,
Before buying the add-on “Download Limit”, I have a question, I am using another plugin on my website “Out-of-the-Box” (Dropbox plugin).
And I was wondering, is it possible to link Download Manager Pro to a Dropbox account?
The idea is that I want to display a “PDF library” on a webpage, and I want to limit the number of downloads. I would like the users to log in in order to be able/allowed to download files.
Thank you in advance for your help.

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
