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?
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].
Found the issue. It is actually not related to browser.
You were trying to download as a guest in Safari. As your downloads are email locked, guest can’t access the download directly. [download_url] tag we used in the template returns the direct download link, but when package is locked it returns #
So if package is locked there is no option but to use [download_link_entended] or [download_link] tag. And no option yet to open in new tab when using these tags.
I have created another link template Moritz Clone. Make you template code similar to it if you want to use email lock in all downloads. You can keep a copy of current Moritz template to use in downloads where you don’t have email lock. It will open files in new tab.
The “Advanced Search” didnt show the Downloads at first. How can we show the latest Downalods in combination with the Advanced Search by first view. We treid it with insert categories=”downloads”
look like this:
[wpdm_search_page link_template=”581c65c735e81″ categories=”downloads” order_by=”date” order=”asc” paging=”1″ items_per_page=”10″ desc=”” cols=1 colsphone=1 colspad=1 position=”left”]
I’m trying to create a repository of files that can each only be downloaded ONCE and ONLY ONCE with an email lock. I’ve created 2 packages as a test and set the Stock Limit to 1.
I have 2 issues:
1) I am using the wpdm_category tag on a page to display available download packages. I do NOT want a package to display if it has met or exceeded its Stock Limit. In other words, if it’s been downloaded, it should disappear from the list. Is there a way to filter them out of the results?
2) I’ve successfully downloaded one of the packages 4 times from different email addresses and the download count seems to remain stuck on 1, neither am I given any warning about exceeding the stock limits. Does that feature actually work? Each time I’ve put in a different email address, and I’ve received the emails (albeit in my spam folder), clicked on the links, and fully downloaded the files.
I have hundreds of posts where user is offered an image to be downloaded. I wonder if you can provide any advice on how I can migrate my existing images to WPDM, while preserving URLs of the posts using them?
You have written [download_link] between <a></a> tags, which should be [title] or Just Download text. Please send temporary wp-admin in private reply , i will add required code there.
Yes, it is possible to open file in new browser tab. You need custom link template for that. Clone the link template/page template ( Downloads Templates page ) you are using now. And replace [download_link] template tag with following code,
Can you confirm this is what I want if I am looking for this result:
– Document is uploaded to WordPress File Manager
– Link for document is placed on 2 web pages
– Link will automatically download document that has been uploaded
– A newer version of the document is created
– The document is uploaded in place of the original document
– Links on the 2 web pages remain the same and do not need to be updated
I need to get a customer email before downloading a booklet.
The question is, how can I incorporate the link for getting email/downloading into my custom widget design.
I don’t want to have a separate page or any of prebuilt templates.
I have a widget with a button. I want a customer click on that button and then the popup should appear.
