Hi,
When I try to use any download link with template it freezes my site.
I have to remove all cookies for site to become useable again.
This also happens if I click preview on a template link in the admin section too.
If I leave it long enough, it does work but only after about 10-15 minutes.
Has anybody any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,
We can’t seem to get the form lock plugin to work.
When locking with a Contact form 7 the download is not provided after the form is completed. Also, when the option to send the link is selected, no link is sent.
Wondering if we’re doing something wrong or if someone has some better instructions than we found on the plugin site that might help, please?
Thanks
I downloaded form lock and have installed it but having problems with an issue so hopefully you can help me out. I went in and edited the link template with the code below:
[icon]
[title]
[download_link] [file_size]
I then used that code in side of:
[wpdm_category id="a-t-wall" operator="IN" title="Test Download Options" desc="Custom Description or 1" toolbar="1" order_by="title" order="desc" item_per_page="10" template="57aa0057bc44d" cols=6 colspad=4 colsphone=3]
The issue I am having is when I click on the [download_link] (in the first set of code) and it displays the preview of the form I created with contact 7. However a user hit submit button an email is sent to me as it should but the user doesn’t get their email with the download link.
I have setup under the package option I have gone under the lock options and have enabled form lock as well as the enabled the email download link. Trying to figure out how to fix the problem and have tweaked several options any idea.
Ok … but i can import external import url ?
I see Advanced CSV Importer add-on for WordPress Download Manager will give you the easy way to import csv files with field mapping option.
In sample i see
files
abc.txt,another-file.doc,other-file.pdf
i try to change file with
files
https://app.box.com/s/number
But don’t work .. i can import ONLY INTERNAL FILE…
Are possible import via csv external link
Hi,
Using File Sharing addon you can only access your own files and if you want you can share those.
So far i understand, you want a sharing option in All package table. But it is not built in there. If you want we can provide custom service add this custom feature for you. You can mail to customize@wpdownloadmanager.com for a quote.
Another option is E-Mail Lock. If you lock the download, user can use the email to share it with someone. Download link will be mailed to the provided email.
Thanks.
@vickeryhill, I have created a test package here You can download two attached file separately. Check package settings to replicate this for your other downloads. You can use your own page template.
We are looking for a solution to capture data for fields such as: First Name, Last Name, Company Name, E-Mail, Download Package, Date
Currently, the website has several add-ons installed including: Web Hooks, ZOHO CRM, Download Notifications, Advanced Custom Fields, Constant Contact
The website should store the data locally & send the download link via email, but we are also wanting to send it to a third party system(s) (CRM, Marketing Automation), as well as email notify internal users about the new download lead.
After some previous customization we are still running into issues including:
-Function to export subscriber info from wp backend does not include required fields
-Form only includes Full Name; not First Name & Last Name
-Web Hooks plugin is no longer supported and Zapier integration does not work
-ZOHO CRM integration does not send required fields to ZOHO (awaiting software update)
We are now considering purchasing the Form Lock add-on in hopes to use the Gravity Forms plugin to provide the ability to export all data cleanly as well as handle the Zapier integration for sending data to CRM and Marketing Automation systems. Will the Form Lock add-on allow us to accomplish the above? Does it work in conjunction with E-Mail Lock and the other Add-On’s that we have purchased?
Thanks!

On HTTP I can get the 2GB links to download *most* of the time
On HTTPS they almost always fail.
They always die right towards the end.
When I click on “resume” in Chrome, it resumes and completes.
Yes, it is possible using custom link/page template. You can create your own link/page template from Downloads Templates page. To open file in new tab, use following code in your custom template,
<a href="[download_url]" target="_blank">Download</a>
Just an update to this…
I have so far deleted the package and recreated it. I have used upload, URL and file browser to the file. I have renamed the file. I have deactivated all my plugins, I have updated all plugins, themes etc. I have deatcivated the Download Manager plugin. I have regenerated the download key. I have cleared the cache – still it is not working.
The LinkedIn button remains blank when you hover over it and the Twitter Follow just downloads a text file which I have attached.
This is happening on ALL of our downloads.
This is now causing us very serioud problems and needs resolving ASAP.
@pontusberglund, yes, that’s the issue. [wpdm_package] shortcode uses Link template. Create you custom link template with [file_list] template tag to show individual download buttons.
I’m getting a lot of complaints from my visitors saying that when they are trying to download files, they are getting a text file instead saying “you do not have permission to download this file” – although I’ve got it set to All Visitors allowed to download it and on a Twitter Follow lock.
Some people are also reporting clicking the follow button (for Twitter) and then nothing happens.
Also, the LinkedIn button does not work at all – doesnt even display anything in the box and is not clickable.
Example is here:

Any ideas as this is causing us a lot of problems with our visitors.
You can use [download_link] in your Link Template.
p.s. customize template is available in Pro version only.
Thank you.
You can password protect these package using Password Lock.
Or
Create a page template without download link and assign it to all packages.
I am using a Directory Add-on, which I need to have on a password-protected page. However, the individual package download pages (see screenshot) are still accessible and files can be downloaded from there. If I make the page private the package disappears from the directory. How can I hide these pages, or at least remove the download link?
That’s how I had my download page setup as well. But since the download links themselves are now password protected, I removed the password protection from the actual download page since a visitor to it will not be able to actually download the files without the password. So the download page is now public but they can’t access the actual download link without its password.
Not sure if there is a better way (I’ve been waiting to hear back from an official plugin person) but for now at least, it works for me since I don’t want the person having to enter a password to access the download page and then another password to access the actual link.
I was wondering how to do the same thing.
The only way I could find to protect the actual download link was to lock it with a password (“lock options” tab).
When I send out the download page I’ll provide the password so the person can access the download link. That way if anyone happens to the download page on their own they won’t be able to access the actual download link without the password.
I attached a screenshot.
Hi, Add download_link=1 parameter in your shortcode to initiate download on click. Thanks.
If you want to show latest packages at the top of your page use following shortcode,
[wpdm_packages template="link-template-panel" order_by="date" order="desc" paging="0" items_per_page="5" cols=1 colsphone=1 colspad=1 title="New Packages" desc=""]
Change the items_per_page value as your requirement.
To get more advanced archive system you can check out Directory addon.
my downloads are suddenly delivering a Text file to anyone who isn’t logged in – “link expired.txt” which contains the text “Download link is expired. Please get new download link.” If you’re logged in you get the expected download. Why is this happening ?

Shahriar,
Thanks for the reply.
When I use that setting I still get a zip file (see attachment).
I’m wondering if its the way I’m linking to the package I’m creating an “A” tag with the the wpdmdl= method.
Is there a better way to link to the document? I’m showing it with Fancybox in an iframe. Its working well for single documents but not for multiples.
Thanks
Hi there,
This issue usually created by cache plugin. It may cache download url for guest users, but those urls are unique and that’s where the issue may create.
Would you mind providing us with login credentials so we can take a closer look? Your site seems to be on Under Construction Mode. To do this, you can make a post with the following info:
– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password

Hello,
Download Manager uses Page Templates to show package/download details. It shows all information about the package.
Link templates are kind of package summary. When you want to show multiple packages ( e.g. all packages from a category ) in a page you use link template. Depending on the link template you are using it may show different kind of info about package. Package also uses link template when you insert it somewhere using [wpdm_package] shortcode.
So when you view a package details page it uses Page Template you selected in package settings, but when you use shortcode to insert that package somewhere it uses the Link Template it has been assigned.
Hope it is clear now 🙂
Thanks.
