Hi there,
I think you are asking for able to add link to download. External link feature is available in Pro-version only.
Thank you
FYI – I am on PHP v5.3 and it needs to stay on this version.
Can you either fix very quickly or provide a download link for v4.5.6 which at least sort of works.
This is MEGA URGENT for me.
Hi,
You can change the template link of category short code. The best way use Advanced TinyMCE button add-on This will help you to create short code for your page.
Thank you.
This must be really simple, but I can’t figure it!!
I want to upload PDFs and catagorise them, and then I want to display the list of files on a page, where all the there is for each upload, a title and a download link button in a sort of list format.
This must be possible, right?
Cheers!
Hi,
Link templates are used when a download/package shortcode placed in a page.
In Category page you can use a common link template, which can selected from Dashboard Downloads Settings Frontend Category Page Options panel. It is not possible to use different link templates for different packages in category page.

I am not talking about changing emails. It is about permalinks that don’t work.
My customers are not able to download the file after purchase. It sending url: website.com/dashboardpurchases/order/123 instead of website.com/dashboard/purchases/order/123. It happens for everything including download history. How can it be fixed?
And any url from dashboard doesn’t work: purchases, download history, etc. All returns 404 page.
Hi,
Use following code in your custom link template to enable download on click title,
<a href="[download_url]">[title]</a>
Thanks.
Hello,
I would like to unlink the package title from page template, and instead have the title be a link for download.
I saw on this forum that we should use [title] instead of [page_url] but how do I request the download ?
I don’t want “download” to show up, just the title package which people would click on for direct download …
Is there a way to do this ?
Thanks a lot in advance
Hi,
Using the file cart plugin instead of downloading the .zip file I would like to send it by email. Is there a way to make it possible?
or alternatively can I send a link to the zip file which is created in the cache folder now when I click on download (is there a code snippet?)
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello,
I have the same issue, but slightly different : I would like the link to simply be the title of my file.
Is there a way to do this ?
(I used your example here above, but I don’t want “download” to show up, just the title which people would click on …)
Thanks a lot in advance
Yes, it is possible. Use a link template without [page_url] template tag. Just clone the link template you are using now and remove the [page_url] tag from there. Now when inserting package use this custom link template.
An example,
<div class="col-md-6"> <h4>[title]</h4>[download_link] </div>
Is there a way to control the visibility of package links that display on a page.
I’ve created a page with this shortcode to display a list of package links:
<br style=”clear:both”/>
<span>[title] [description] [tags]</span>
What I’d like to do is control which package links are displayed on this page based on a visitor’s user-role.
Thanks,

Yes, it is possible. Create a custom link template and use [expire_date] template tag to show expire date.
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.
