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.
Yes, we will update TinyMCE, but you still can use tinyMCE to insert shortcode. Just chnage the parameter link_template to template. No need insert package id manually.
I tried this but when I select my custom link template or any other link template from the list, it shows a different template instead of the selected one. No matter what link template I select, it always displays the template as seen in the attached screenshot. I don’t want people to be able to download entire packages, only individual files. I can select and display link templates fine in the Accordion and elsewhere but not when adding a Package List as you’ve described using the Other Short-Codes method.
I need to remove the login and register box on each single download, currently its above my download.
It disappears when i log in as administrator.
Also when i copy the shortcode to paste a single download it crashes my template. I am trying to add the download (pdf) MSDS to the products on woocommerce.
Thanks for that complete plugin, it’s a very nice one ! However, I do have a puzzling problem.
DMPro is set up properly, files are entered, protected by a password, but when, on the frontend, I enter the password to download the PDF file, it loads for several long minutes and then gives me an “Encoding error”. It works perfectly on my local dev site ; not on the production site.
The PDF files are in a directory inside /wp-content/uploads ; they are inserted using the Attach file > Browse tool (once again, it works perfectly on my local dev site). I’d like to use that because of the URL obfuscation it gives. However, I’ve tried by linking a full address into Attach files > URL (the URL given loads the file without problem, so the “encoding error” is definitely not valid), and it works just fine, except there is no URL obfuscation…
I think I’ve looked almost anywhere I could think of, to resolve this… .htaccess file is pristine ; hosting server is cheap but otherwise fine ; I’m lost and I could use some help, please…
Thanks by advance for your ideas. Credentials to get access to the site are ready for you, in private.

1. Use a link template that does not have [page_url] template tag. You can make custom link template.
2. Wrap your link template inside <div class='col-md-4'></div> to make columns. This is sample div, you can change the class to adjust column numbers. This one will create 3 columns ( Bootstrap 12 columns grid system )
3. Code change required. You can change it from ../wpdm-archive-page/wpdm-archive-page.php file
I tested separately the functions [popup_link],[page_link] and [page_url] (as [title]) as only instructions in my link template. None of them were working correctly. Each of the instructions process a modal box or new page correctly, but display wrong content.
The tab “download overview” in https://silicon.software/know-how/download/ shows the correct page template content. Therefore I guess, the page template can be executed correctly.
The tabs “recent downloads” and “search downloads” build up the details page
by elements of a default page template and the download page.
I want to use the standard funtionality of showing the detail page, you are offering. I don’t need a redirect, but want to understand how to use [popup_link], if it is not even working when I only use [popup_link] in the link template.
Sorry, not clear, seems like, that is a theme feature, please give me an URL where you trying to set it. But if you want to change image size in link/page template please check here:
Insert your packages in a page using Link Template. Use a link template with [download_link] template tag to show your package ( i.e. Call To Action 3 ). This tag serves direct download, without showing details page.
unfortunately, the issue is still open.
After preparing the link template code from home, I see the same behavior from my office PC, even a website shouldn’t be concerned by this.
On the page “https://silicon.software/know-how/download/” the tab “download overview” shows the correct page template, clicking “view details”.
Using the tabs “recent downloads” and “search downloads”, the [page_url] tag works self-referring and shows the download page, but not the detail page.
Is there a setting for page_url?
I am using “default values” and updated all link to the current link and page templates.
I was also using [popup_link] with the same effect.
Thanks in advance fr your help,
Michael
P.S. Let me know, if I should reactivate the temp login.
No, you can use any template if it has [download_url] or [download_link] template tag in it. These tags create the package download button. You can also create your own template from Downloads Templates page. Read more about templates here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/creating-a-new-template/
Earlier download box was showing as popover, but due to many javascript errors in your site coming from other plugins and ads, social lock is not working properly in popover, so why I user [download_link_extended] tag to embed it in page. Still checking twitter issue.
1. Problem: I have WPDM v4.5.5. Unable to install latest update v.4.5.6 no matter how many times I tried.
2. Problem: When user downloads my software, he gets a download link email. I’m unable to customize this email even though I located where the email templates were in WPDM. The previous coder configured the first one but I cannot find it anywhere to customize it further.
3. Problem: To disallow robots to download my software, I activated the inbuilt reCAPTCHA through Google before a download can be initiated. When I click on “I’m not a robot”. it starts to load but hangs.
Hi,
Download count works on whole package download. If you download a file from a package, not the whole package, download count does not increase.
In your site, you are using a page Template (https://www.evernote.com/l/AUeJaD0ne2hPrI2nFCPTWozGbIzb3XXzogE) which does not have package download link, you were downloading single files, not the package. That’s the reason , count didn’t increase after many download.
