I use categories to sort files for each of my projects, so each project has its own category.
When one of my registered users logs in, he is taken to a private “Hub” page where he is presented with an accordion that shows each of the projects he has access to. But when he click on the project title (category name) no download links appear, only a bit of unlinked text saying “-1”.
When I look from my own admin login, the accordion displays all the projects and their associated downloadable file links.
This problem as only just occurred very recently. It was all working fine last week. Can you please help me figure out what is going on? I’ll PM you access details and their login as well.
I am not familiar with CSV bulk import. Here is a screen shot of what I am talking about. I can only attach one file. I have a folder that has 3 images in it. I want the user to be able to download the link and see all three images in the folder.
Sorry for the delayed reply. It seems there is nothing to do from WPDM side as wget uses the URL to name the file. WPDM download links are dynamic, it doesn’t contain the exact file name which wget can use to name the file.
But there is an option to set the file name and the download URL contains the package name. So, I think your users can utilize it.
Yes, you can control which columns to show for the [wpdm_all_packages] shortcode.
Here is the shortcode: [wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="20" jstable=1 order_by="date" order="DESC" cols="title|post_content|package_size|download_link" colheads="Title|Description|Size|Download"]
It is possible to keep the package download button open in the same session once the package is unlocked. You can add the following code after line 193 in /download-manager/libs/class.PackageLocks.php to apply it,
But it will require very lengthy modification to unlock single file links. For now, use this modification. We will consider what you proposed for the future release of WPDM.
I am attaching files to the categories in my taxonomy. The files are in Dropbox. I right click the file then copy the Dropbox link. Then I paste it in the box marked URL.
The problem is that the after a user clicks on the file and clicks “download” the file appears but also includes a link to my Dropbox “Back to Dropbox.” Is there a different plugin I can use that excludes the “Back to Dropbox” link and at the same time allows more than one image to be attached so that when the user clicks download all the images attached to a particular category may be viewed.
Thanks Shahriar, I had the purchases page and the guest purchases page set up before but when WP Download Manager got updated, the short codes got changed and the old ones didn’t work anymore. I’ve sorted that out now with the new short codes.
I have re-enabled guest checkout and guest downloads. When I tested it with TestPay (after I had logged out of my site and using another browser), I received a purchase confirmation email that directed me to make a new account, but underneath that it said if you are in a hurry, no need to register – just go ahead and download. This is good because I don’t want my customers to have to register.
But today a customer forwarded his purchase confirmation to me and at that link there was no option to bypass registration. And he said he was having troubles with the captcha and could not register. Is there a way that I can avoid forcing my customers to register?
Regarding your advice with editing the purchase-confirmation template, I will try this, thanks.
DISCARD THIS MESSAGE I ALREADY FOUND OUT HOW TO FIX IT IN SETTINGS.
Hello there
We have changed our site’s login URL in WordPress and now all protected downloads show the old login page when an unregistered user attempts to download a protected file.
How do I make the plugin update the download link to show the new login URL in WordPress?
Thanks in advance.
I am using the Email lock option. When the site visitor gets the email with the download link, it appears as the package permalink, with the wpdmdl and _wpdmkey tacked on. Okay, that’s fine.
However, if the visitor copies that link, and then uses wget on the command line, the file saved is NOT the Link Label, or the permalink, but instead ‘index.html?wpdmdl=xxx&_wpdmkey=xxx….’
How can this be fixed? My site visitors are cli users, and do want to use wget and the like.
Ideally, I would like the saved filename to be the Link Label, as defined in the Package Settings.
Thank you for your answer, but it is not working.
I want to put a link to the shortcode “[wpdm_frontend]” and I put the code below to the function.php of the theme.
The result you can show on the image attached.
So the wpdm_frontend is opening in a frame of the dashboard, but I can not run the correct link if I click to the second time to “Add new”.
Can you help me to connect the “add new” button to the first button?
Best regards
Fatmir

Hi- very new to this! Once I have added downloads, is there a quick way to add the download to the page or do I have to copy and paste the link every time? Is there also a way of adding the downloads as a grid display to a page?
Fatal error: Call to undefined method WPDM\Package::validateMasterKey() in (removed) /plugins/wpdm-premium-packages/wpdm-premium-packages.php on line 448
the first time i installed it worked (mind you wp cache is turned off) but after trying to get it how i wanted (adding differ downloads, making one that had all the downloads in one download, etc.. ) download stop working.. i erased all downloads deleted plugin and reinstalled but when i recreate (using attach directory or single files attached) when i click download it doesn’t work.
if its in the call to action download (that should zip all the files in the folder?) it gives error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method WPDM\Package::validateMasterKey() in /home/content/90/8723690/html/HarambeeRecords/wp-content/plugins/wpdm-premium-packages/wpdm-premium-packages.php on line 448
if I click the link to go to the download manager page with the file verseion, all files and unique download buttons for all files (say mp3, cover art etc) it just acts like it reloads and shows nothing (using html5/ajax) so all the info on the page goes away and it goes to blank page with the menu and background.
Use a link template that shows the download button. You can try Call To Action 3. Actually, all link template has the download button not sure which one you are using. You can send me the shortcode page link to check.
So &ind=u5a_nwomPE419wkGweyJBHVwi6Rq6z8Yf2OiXFE_sqW3vJhUZ6EP92MUZo9SPWf_
Became &ind=1524857850754
I would need to go through all of our external sites to fix the links. UNLESS you have a different method that recognizes the old &ind value and redirects to the new &ind value.
You could solve that one easy – did that just today – just use a template and change it a little bit: check out which template you’re using (or select one via shortcode). On the template page, create a copy of that template and edit it. I use “link-template-widget” which has the exact thing you describe: I click on the link and it redirects to the details page, but I want a direct download.
To change that, just change every [page_url] in the code to an [download_url] and save.
Then use the new shortcode for the copied template to use it. And tadaaa: you have a direct download again 🙂
I use to have WPDM FREE version, so i use to add file – go to all file – copy short code – add it into my page – the download is displayed in a nice way and when users click it – the download start directly .
Moved to pro version, doing the same steps as before but when my users click the link their are being redireted to another page in order to start the download.
Need to stop that and make it easy like the free version, the download should start directly.
Thanks in advance for your help.
