I found the issue.. You must go into your Google Drive and set the “Sharing” properties to allow “downloads with a link”.
Hi, You can disable package download link and use only individual download button. Custom link template required for this setup. Copy any link temlate and remove [download_link]
template tag from there and use [file_list]
tag.
Thank you for the clarification. But I’m disappointed. I really don’t understand why you link users to a OneDrive account. I mean, they just need to download a file without the need to know where the file is hosted. As a matter of fact this leads to security issues because the Admin’s OneDrive account can be hacked. On the other hand, why users should have a OneDrive account?
This addon is completely illogical. I’m sorry to say that but you should revise it completely. 🙂

I thank you for the solution. Now the button hooks to OneDrive and I can associate a file to a new post/download.
There’s only one problem: when a user clicks on the download link he’s redirected to OneDrive account. Is this how’s supposed to be? Because I think that the user should just get the file instead of going to the Admin’s OneDrive account.
hi there,
Yes you can get link in the e-mail. Please post your problem in WPDM pro support to help you ( http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/forum/download-manager-pro/)
Hi Shahriar,
Thank you for your reply!
I did find that one of the issues was spaces in the filename. That has been corrected.
Re: downloading, it makes no sense to me that clicking download will lead me to a page where the file is played by my browser. That doesn’t seem to be an S3 issue (maybe it is?)
I’m not confused about icons or link templates. This makes sense to me.
What doesn’t make sense is that in one scenario, I can click on “play” to play a file, and in another that option does not appear. This is for .mp3 files that are both on S3.
Hi,
Download Manager redirects user to S3 file when download button is clicked. WPDM can’t control they way file is served. You have to add file locally if you want the download button to download file (mp3) on click Download button. There might be some option in S3 to show download link instead of playing it.
You can set package icon when bulk importing packages. Put the icon url under icon
column in csv file. You can also set icon from package settings. It looks like you have some confusion about link template. Please let me know if you have any specific question about templates.
Error in some packages are being caused by an extra space in generated download link. One possible reason, maybe some other plugin modifying output. Try disabling other plugins to be sure. However, We will check thoroughly in our code, if there is any issue found, i will let you know and release an update soon.
Thanks.
I wanted to share this even though this is an old thread — in case someone else is looking for this solution (like I was).
I did not find a way to do this within the tool, but it is pretty easy to do if you are willing to edit the wpdm-extended-shortcodes plugin. I normally would never recommend updating a plugin like this (because any change will be lost when the plugin is updated), but it was an emergency for me and may be for you…
Open the wpdb-extended-shortcodes.php file
Find the wpdm_embed_tree() function and scroll down toward the bottom of that function (in the version I’m using (2.6.0), this is around line 470).
find this: “a href='” . get_permalink(get_the_ID()) . “‘ rel='” . get_permalink(get_the_ID()) . “‘”
and edit it to look like this: “a href='” . get_permalink(get_the_ID()) . “?wpdmdl=”.get_the_ID().”‘ rel='” . get_permalink(get_the_ID()) . “?wpdmdl=”.get_the_ID().”‘”
Basically, you’re just adding “?wpdmdl=[the post ID]” to each link.
NOTE: this will likely NOT work with login-protected downloads (there should also be a nonce that is not being included) but if you are just offering publicly accessible files, it should be fine.
It also seems like this would be a fairly easy update that could be made an option in the tool (hint… hint…).

After troubleshooting why I am getting auth signature error. I have discovered that the S3 libraries are seriously outdated.
Per \wpdm-amazon-s3\aws\CHANGELOG.md the version is 2.7.17 (Updated 2015-01-27) and the current sdk from amazon is 3.19.4 (Updated 2016-09-01)
Please update the amazon s3 as its not usable to retrieve download links.
Link Template code is wrapped inside w3eden
class to apply plugin specific css. code inside w3eden
comes from link template. You can create custom link template from Downloads Templates page.
I purchased the WordPress Download Manager Special Pack which has the directory addon listed, but I do not see it listed in the download. this is what I got.

File Tree – Install Extended Shortcode addon to use tree shortcode
Empty Categories – Frontend Upload shows all categories. I have checked your installation. You are using custom templates there. If you did not do it,maybe some other guy customized it. In default templates upload page shows all categories.
Tags – You can use Directory addon to show all tags. Each tag link to their archive page. We will add more features soon to make tags more accessible.
Send me a package link to download, you can use private reply.
Hi there
Is it possible setting the PRO version up, so one can view the file online, instead of forcing downloading the file? Maybe via a shortcode for “link to the actual file”, via the settings (where I cannot seem to find such a thing), or via a plugin.
Thanks in ahead,
Lisbeth
When I view the category sidebar widget it shows how many docs in each category however when I click on the link it returns a blank page. I have noticed the link in the display page works but is a different link than the sidebar widget
Does not work from sidebar

Create a link template with following code, I have cloned Link template Panel there and added average rating template tag,
<div class="panel panel-default"><div class="panel-body"> <div class="media"> <span class="pull-left"> [thumb_60x60] </span> <div class="media-body"> <h4 class="media-heading" style="padding-top: 0px;border:0px;margin: 0px;height: 20px;overflow: hidden">[title]</h4> <i style="margin: 4px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="fa fa-th-large"></i> [file_size]<Br/> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel-footer"><div class="pull-left" style="line-height: 30px;">[rating_stars]<i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;" class="fa fa-download"></i> [download_count] downloads</div> <div class="pull-right">[download_link]</div><div style="clear: both"></div></div> </div>
1. Clone any link template, then paste this code in coding area.Set a name for this custom link template.
2. Save the template.
3. When inserting shortcode use this templates id as link template. ( Use tinyMCE addon to insert shortcode, you will find this link custom template in dropdown )
Thank you for your prompt reply. I am still having trouble.
I cloned a link template, and tried to create a custom link template. There is no “variable” for the average rating, and I do not see any template tag here for average rating or rating stars: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/template-tags/.
I do see a variable for “tags” but when I click on “tags” nothing happens.
I found this on your website:
“List of Template Tags to use with Link/Page Template:
[wpdm_reviews] – will generate the complete review UI
[avg_rating] – will show the average rating for a package
[rating_stars] – will show the rating option for a package with ★ symbols”
So then I added [avg_rating][rating_stars] to the code box. The preview only shows “5.0”. (screenshot attached)
Did I add the right tag to the code box??
I tried saving the template and now I can see the unique ID for the custom link (screenshot attached), but how do I enter that into my site?
Do I need to enter something like this?: “[avg_rating ID=########][rating_stars] ?
Thanks again,
Sydney
You can use any link template, download button in link template does not link to package details page. Package name has the link to details page. To remove details page link clone the link template you want to use and remove [page_url]
tag from there.
Login/Register popup on click not available, but could be implemented by code customization. When user not logged in it currently shows Login required
message.
