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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ?
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.

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.
Hello
I have problem setting the download from a link in my website
I press the + sign and nothing happens
What do i have to fill in URL textbox, all the url or only the file because i ‘ve set the download catalog before?
Use following shortcode to show all packages with Audion Preview. Here i have applied link template “With Audio Preview” You can use your own customized link template ( To rearrange package information )
But in this case there is no search feature, just plain list. You need Directory addon to show searchable package list. It has many other features too.
I am using the responsive table to show a category ([wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="30" categories="culinary" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC"]) but I would like the package name link to trigger an auto download. I assume I will have to edit the template file.
I basically want the package name to act like the Download button.
Could you provide some direction on which file I should edit?
When I use the Package List shortcode for Most Downloads, Most Viewed or New Packages, the chosen template ID is not inserted in those cases but should be. The template ID is added if I use the Insert to Post option (blue button) but this method and the others have the incorrect link_template parameter that you are planning to fix. For now, though I have it working the way I need it to be.
