Download Manager Custom link and page templates are saved in the database ( options table ) when you are creating the templates from Downloads Templates page.
So templates can be lost only if the _fm_link_templates and _fm_page_templates options are erased. There is no possibility of this happening without manually deleting all custom templates from Downloads Templates page.
Are your staging and live site identical? I mean did you copy the live site from staging? In that case, you can copy the options from the staging site to bring back custom templates.
How many custom templates did you have? If you have custom templates ID and code it is possible to restore those by editing database. But requires some time to re-create the format.
I recently had an issue where I couldn’t update Download Manager within WordPress (this was resolved). Somehow during the process of getting it to work again, the custom link and page templates that I created are now gone. I checked an older staging version of my site and the templates are still there. Are the user created link and page templates saved in a folder somewhere or are they saved directly to the database? I can copy and paste the custom code for each template into the live version of my site but I am trying to avoid having to edit every single download package to select the newly created packages all over again which will take a long time. Thanks for your prompt assistance.
You are using the Free version of Download Manager there. The free version has limited number of templates. It doesn’t have the link-template-panel-1-3 link template. If you purchased the Pro version of plugin please install it to render the Panel template.
Please send me the URL to check. I will suggest required CSS that you can add to change download link color. You can also use Image Button add-on to show beautiful download buttons instead of just links.
PHP is not supported in link/page template. But you don’t need PHP for what you are trying to do. You can hide a custom field when it is empty by adding [hide_empty:template_tag] as a CSS class in wrapping node.
I am using the Divi Template and I changed the theme link color, but the download links are still using the old color. I can’t seem to find a place to change this. Can you help? (I did look through the documentation and the website and was unable to find this information). There must be a way to style links. Do I have to put the html for font color in the actual template? if so, that is kind of gross as I should be able to change the link color in a theme and have all links get updated.
When using the Download Manager, hovering over a download link doesn’t show where the link resolves to.
Meaning, if my actual download link on MySite to MyFileServer was something like this:
I am new to WordPress and Download Manager. I am creating a link template using custom fields that I want to show up in the template only if the field is not empty. Is there an easy way to do this? I looked through the site and I couldn’t find any examples but it does appear that php is useable, but I can’t seem to get it to work. Can you help?
I have removed the old [wpdm_package_id] input and added a new hidden field with the same default value. Also applied the embedded form ( Used a page template with [download_link_extended] ). Now lock is working.
I followed all steps mentioned here in your docs, but it seems like the shortcode always points to the current user’s public profile (not the author of the current package). Is there any parameter I can pass to the shortcode to catch the current package’s author?
No need to zip the .eps file before uploading. Just tested a .eps file downloaded by WPDM. Works fine. Could you please send me the original file and the download link?
Yes, there is a template tag [pdf_thumb] that shows the PDF thumb ( first page of pdf ). In your link downloads are shown using WPDM link template. Now, to show PDF thumb you have to create a custom link template with this tag [pdf_thumb].
You can create custom link template from Dashboard Downloads Templates page.
After a user enters a password (correct or incorrect) the link displays “Processing” and freezes, as per the second screen shot. None of our downloads work any more.
I am using form lock when the user submits their personal information the form just recycles without accessing the download link. my site is https://www.fertinnowa.com/download/the-fertigation-bible/. The main reason I used it because I need to get gdpr consent to subscribe them on our mailing list. is there a better way to do it?
I use gravity forms
We want to show all downloads from one category on one page with preview images.
Our downloads are only images (HI-RES) and we want to show our customers the complete category in a table format.
Preview Image, Download Size, Download Button
Thats it.
How do we do this?
I have linked to the category in our main menu, but it does not look nice. I also dont understand how to edit this category view.
Any help would be appreciated.
THX
PS: I have attached a screenshot from our current category view.
Looking at the file via FTP, the file doesn’t exist. I tried uploading a file as admin and it did not upload to the dir /wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files/
The file size is 131 KB and the WPDM Upload Setting limit is 1024KB chunk size.
I tried uploading on one of the other sub sites (technology) and had the same outcome.
Next, I created a new download package and that also had the same outcome.
It seems the add-on has a bug. After linking to S3 when we try to download it throws an fatal error saying Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class ‘WPDM\libs\DownloadStats’ not found in …/wp-content/plugins/wpdm-amazon-s3/wpdm-amazon-s3.php:392
The URL is generated by the [download_url] template tag. But it doesn’t generate the index.html in the download link. wget is setting this name as there is no static file name is URL.
Thanks for your reply. The solution your reference is simply to use a cli output option of wget, which is always available to anyone downloading a file from anywhere.
I understand WPDM generates dynamic download links, however, really only the keys are dynamic–the base url is always the same. Can you tell me what piece of code contains the ‘index.html’ static name? At least then I could change it to ‘billybob.zip’, or whatever…
Thanks,
Scott
