Hello,
I would like to display a table with my packages from certains tags, is it possible today ? Like with wpdm_all_packages and categories.
In the old topics i’v searched you would reply to use a custom template following this link https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/
Except i don’t have any success with this method for the moment as i don’t fully understand the steps. Like where are you suppose to put taxonomy-wpdmcategory.php and single-wpdmpro.php ?Are they really required ? Can you please explain how to make a template for wpdm-all-download.php if it’s required ?
Thanks
I was using Downloads very successfully up until about 2 months ago – since then all my download links no longer work but result in a 404 error, I cannot find the cause of this, please assist.
Topic: Download List Page
How do I show a list of available downloads? I’m trying to set up a secure section of a website that has a list of downloads, with categories, for all users to freely download.
Also, how do I add a link to this page in the menu on the Dashboard?
In reply to: How to fix scaled images?
Hi,
A scaled image is an image that has been scaled to match the size that it is displayed.
This is telling you that your source image is 500×300 but you are displaying it at 220×132.
It is inefficient because the browser has to download the larger image and then rescale it. The 500×300 image is 94.4KB larger than a 220×132 image would be.
The download manager cache the images by resizing with several default images size. These are dynamic thumbnail images created by Download Manager for various link/page templates ( Output for [thumb_WxH] and [thumb_url_WxH] tags ). WPDM stores these images to reuse the generated thumbnails. So you may use correct height and width with the template tag to regenerate them.
Thanks

Hi,
You can set login redirect page to that URL. After user login, they redirected to that page. Use link with this shortcode
[wpdm_login_form redirect="http://localhost/wpdm/downloads/"], that you included into the login page.You may see this thread for more info.
Thanks
Hi There,
My download links no longer work – they now just refresh the page. I see when you click on the download link, it appends a ‘refresh=’ parameter.
Would love some help.

Hi Simone,
Please go to Downloads Settings Basic Messages panel and uncheck the “Show Only Login Form Instead of Login Required Message” option.
Then set your “Login Required Message:” option. This could be a link to the login page or just a text saying ‘Login Required’
Regards,
I just bought and installed the WPDM Pro and Form Lock add-on and I already have WPForms installed on my website. But I don’t see all my WP Forms under the Form Lock option. I see only 5 forms in the drop down. How can I access the other forms that are linked with downloads?
Thanks

BodoIn reply to: Advanced CSV Import – Mapping to custom taxonomies
Hi,
You can use category slug with the shortcode
category=”category-slug”, that will show the archive page for that specific category. More info here.and Please try the
cat_view="extended", the Extended view doesn’t use the category drop-down and shows only selected category link as buttons.This problem has been answered once here.
If you want to modify the category link button css. You can modify the file
wpdm-archive-page.phpfromplugins/wpdm-archive-page/. Change the css in line131.Thanks
I see all the other lock’s, linked in, gplus, twitter, password etc in the WP fields drop down. Where is the terms lock in the drop down? I am using the Advanced CSV Importer add on. How can I populate the terms lock checkbox when importing via csv?
I have the same issue with Download Limit. I see it on the admin side, but don’t see an option to map to it from the CSV import.
My page that is displaying the code is here: http://109.199.101.20/~newsouthsound911/archive/
My client wants to only display buttons for the subcategory of the “Archives” category. I attempted to do this with jQuery, by removing the buttons, then injecting my own button into the UL. I thought since it was using the same classes that the jQuery/ajax click functions would be picked up and it would function like the default buttons, but it doesn’t. The “INFOBULLETIN NEWSLETTERS” button is the one that I have injected with jQuery.
This is a default button from the theme:
<li class="col-md-4 col-sm-6"> <a class="btn btn-sm btn-default btn-block wpdm-cat-link" rel="26" href="http://109.199.101.20/~newsouthsound911/downloads/bids/" style="outline: none;"> Bids (3) </a> <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="dLabel"></ul></li>This is my injected button:
<li class="col-md-4 col-sm-6"><a class="btn btn-sm btn-default btn-block wpdm-cat-link" rel="35" href="http://109.199.101.20/~newsouthsound911/downloads/infobulletin-newsletters/">Infobulletin Newsletters</a><ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="dLabel"></ul></li>Is there a way to safely customize the output to control which category buttons are displayed here?
Thanks in advance.
Topic: File upload stopped working
Hello,
The plugins was working normally, but recently the files that I upload don`t save anymore. I checked the storage disk and is no full (40%).
The file looks like was upload, that appears in list of file and in front-end, but when I try to download, it got broke link.I’ve included a direct shortcode to a file within a page… When I click on the download link, The file name it saves it as is different from what i originally called it.
e.g. – I upload a file – somefile.pdf
When I download from the shortcode it downloads as – wp-content_uploads_download-manager-files_somefile.pdfIs there a reason for this?
Many Thanks
Shafiq

Topic: Directory Add-on Problem
Hello, I bought the special pack and I want to know how to solve this:
I made parent category > Put sub categories inside > Put packages for downloading.
On the download page I used this short-code ( using the other short-codes tab ):[wpdm-archive category=”323″ cat_view=”compact” button_style=”default” link_template=”link-template-calltoaction3.php” order_by=”post_title” order=”asc” items_per_page=”10″]
and on the download page I got all the packages listed even the user not select anything from the drop down menu, And when I open the drop down menu to select the wanted category, It listed all the Parents and sub-categories!
1- How can we show no package before the user select the wanted category, Or at least if we can show only the most downloaded packages instead.
2- How can we show only the wanted parent categories and its sub-categories in the drop down menu?Thanks in Advance.
We’ve worked with you guys quite a bit on getting out settings and permissions set so that our users can download large files. And it has been working really well.
Until we installed the update.
Now the large downloads timeout at 3.5 minutes.
We have a 100MB file. I tried downloading it on 3 different machines with different connection speeds multiple times each. Sometimes it downloaded 30MBs of the file and and I got ‘download was interrupted’ at 3.5 minutes. Sometimes it downloaded 80MBs of the file and I got ‘download was interrupted’ at 3.5 minutes.
I had one successful download where the it finished in 2:45 minutes.
I then put the same file on a server and tested a direct link download and was successful 3 times in a row and each download took around 10 minutes.
I am fully aware that our internet here is painfully slow, but it was working before the update and now it’s not?
Did something change in this update or did something get over-written somewhere?
In reply to: Category pages layout
Hi Marc,
Seems like you are using the directory addon to show downloads on that page. You are using archive page templates which comes from directory addon plugin wpdm-archive-page.Your second link is not the category page but the downloads archive page. It shows all downloads. The page template ( blog style ) is coming from your theme.
The archive page uses your theme’s archive template to show posts. Download Manager can modify them partially by inserting link template. But to control the view 100% ( to make it look like the first link ) you have to create a custom archive template for download manager posts. For the downloads archive the template file name is
archive-wpdmpro.phpand for category archive, the template istaxonomy-wpdmcategory.phpThanks
In reply to: How to Insert and custom Template
Hi,
Package locks have the OR relation, so unlocking one gives you access to the package. So it not possible to show it as single files while lock is active. However, you can set a password for single files without using lock options to achieve that.
And you create and modify the templates files from Downloads Templates. You can use link template with shortcodes and page template will work on single download package pages.
Thanks
In reply to: Remove Next and Previous Link
Hi,
You can try giving
hide everythingfrom the Downloads settings access settings When the user is not allowed to download , if the permalink of next/previous of download manager posts still showing which are password protected. let me know.Or, If your theme generating the next/previous post or any plugin like
WP Post Navigationgenerating this than there nothing we can do to hide, as it queries everything.Thanks
Hello WPDM Support,
We’d like to supply you with some further information about an issue reported to you before Xmas last year about your Download Manager Plug In. Yesterday we updated your plugin and the following issue (included below) and previously reported to you occurred again. This time after applying our fix to your code the issue was not resolved with our fix. Therefore, we would like to tell you about our second fix to your code and ask if you can please investigate this issue which is causing your plug n to be incompatible with our WordPress / Themify installation.
Fix 2
——
This fix is similar to the first one but has been applied in this file: class.Package.php.
Around line 1319/1320 we have removed the call to wp_reset_query() and replaced it with: wp_reset_post_data().
The previous reported fault and our fix which incidentally still needs to be applied in addition to this new one follows:Previously Reported Issue
———————————–
We have identified a fault with Download Manager and are sending you this short report to assist you in resolving the issue which starts with some background information about how it used to work and how we are using WPDM with Themify theme, finally we have fixed the problem but would like to know if our fix is compatible with a future update to WPDM.1) The expected & actual behaviour prior to a recent update of Themify / WordPress
1.1) We add the [wpdm_package] shortcode in this form: [wpdm_package id="6239" template="55c1e8d58c991”] to posts.
Inline image 2
1.2) We then set Themify to include posts to a page using the Query Posts facility.
Inline image 3
1.3) What we expect to happen.
Prior to a recent update to Themify or WPDM (we’re unsure which one has caused the problem) the short code that was added to the post using the Query Posts facility would render the download package to the screen and the page content would finish. Obviously, because the shortcode is the last item of content in the included post.
The issue
————-2) After a recent update the content no longer finishes at the end of the last included post and the additional content included via the embedded short code. Instead the content of the page that includes the posts is added to the end of the page after the last post / embedded shortcode.
2.1) Our FIX!
We’ve replaced the call to wp_reset_query() with wp_reset_postdata() and the duplicate page content is no longer added at the end of the page. See below for reference to approx line 360 in class.ShortCodes.php
function Package($params)
{
extract($params);if(!isset($id)) return ”;
$id = (int)$id;
if(get_post_type($id) != ‘wpdmpro’) return ”;
$postlink = site_url(‘/’);
if (isset($pagetemplate) && $pagetemplate == 1) {
$template = get_post_meta($id,’__wpdm_page_template’, true);
$wpdm_package[‘page_template’] = stripcslashes($template);
$data = wpdm_fetch_template($template, $id, ‘page’);
$siteurl = site_url(‘/’);
return “<div class=’w3eden’>{$data}</div>”;
}$template = isset($params[‘template’])?$params[‘template’]:get_post_meta($id,’__wpdm_template’, true);
if($template == ”) $template = ‘link-template-calltoaction3.php’;
$html = “<div class=’w3eden’>” . \WPDM\Package::fetchTemplate($template, $id, ‘link’) . “</div>”;wp_reset_postdata();
//wp_reset_query();return $html;
}If this was the source of the problem please can you update your source code so that your next update to WPDM doesn’t remove our fix.
Thanks in advance.
