Good afternoon – I have tried searching the site so I apologize if I have missed it. Can you point me to the document that will show my how to show only my featured image or my featured image and the download button to click for a download?
Thank you!
Do you mean sort by package/download name?
You can add order_by="title" to sort by title.
Here is the link to shortcode doc https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_category-query-all-downloads-from-one-or-more-categories/
Hi,
There can be several issues that the images are not showing. If you changed your domain also then there might be old domain link still into the database that is not replaced. Or in your new hosting check the folder permission, and if they are 755, then its ok. If you have had any cache plugin which stored cache files then remove them.
The WordPress download manager files are stored in wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files folder. check the folder and the permission.
If the problem does not resolve then send the login info in private to check.
Thanks
Hi,
You can use Directory addon and use Archive page for showing the document library page.
You can use link template to show customize template where the user can click on “view” button then view them in a tab if they are pdf files. You need to use this <a href="[download_url]" target="_blank">View</a> code in the template.
If you are not sure how to customize template then let me know, i will do that for you.
Thanks
I’m already using the all packages shortcode, but clicking on the category to filter I find it unintuitive. The shortcode already has a top selction filter to filter the amount of downloads shown on the table. I would like another dropdown selector for the categories. Is it possible to edit javascript like the link that I sent to work with wpdm?
Dear Support,
how is it possible to order the downloads by the filename?
this is our general shortcode:
[wpdm_category id="XXXX," cols="1" toolbar=0 item_per_page=30 template="XXXX" order_by="post_title" order="asc" ]
what do I need to put in order_by=”XXXX” to change the order to the linkname I entered in the download form.
I understand your use case. We have added this to our to-do list. For now, you can create a separate free package and share the download link on the pay as you want package. So, the user can have access to both options.
Hi,
Adding target blank is not available with the shortcode yet.
But,
You can modify an existing link template file from wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpdmpro&page=templates this page.
And add this code <a href="[download_url]" target="_blank">[icon]</a> to make download target blank.
And use this template tag with the shortcode.
Thanks
Thanks for your help…It’s very confusing…
OK, so I am getting there, but when I clicked on the download link for my test file, firstly I got “Package not available”, then when I tried a minute or so later, I got this message which is most undersierable : Calling 911! You better run now!!
How on Earth do I get rid of that, and why is it showing that instead of just downloading the test file?
I’m making a page with a tabular view for downloads, but I would like to put a selector like the link bellow for categories:

Could you help me configure?
Hello,
My clients are getting told their links have expired when they click on the link that was emailed to them. The message reads, “Download link is expired. Please get new download link.” Why does this happen? Is there a way to manage expirations? I saw responses in the forum regarding Dropbox expired links but not on expired link messaging from the emails. How can we manage this? We didn’t set an expiration date on the packages.
Separately, will our updating the package and re-uploading a new one in its place cause the link to expire? If so, how can we replace files without having that happen?
Thank you.
Victoria
File : /themes/prime/homepage-blocks/featured-items.php
Please change <?php the_permalink(); ?> to <?php echo wpdm_download_url(get_the_ID()); ?> on line 28
I want to change the way the featured items look. I am trying to add a direct download link but I can’t figure out how to do it. I’ve spent hours searching so any help you can offer is appreciated.
Hello,
I’m getting double images from the “featured image”. I know that it is due to the “template” of the download package. What file/files do I need to edit so I can remove the duplication? Our theme is throwing in one of the featured images as is your plugin. You can see by the below link.

I use the e-mail lock, and see now that the e-mail with the download link is not sent to the subscriber. This worked before. (The subscriber list is updated, but to e-mail is sent/received.
My download archive, and one of the downloads with e-mail lock that does not work:
https://www.byggutengrenser.no/download/anvisning-a-sikre-bedre-beskrivelse-betongoverflater/
There is an order_by parameter in archive shortcode. You have to use that to show latest packages initially. To show latest downloads at first use order_by date and set order descending like the following shortcode.
[wpdm-archive cat_view="extended" button_style="default" link_template="link-template-calltoaction2.php" order_by="date" order="desc" items_per_page="10"]
Create New list link doesn’t link to the same URL. Two URLs are same on your site because of the popup issue. Fixing the popup will also fix the create new link.
If popup issue is fixed it will work like the demo.
Login URL ( demo/demo ) – https://themes.wpdownloadmanager.com/appmarket/dashboard/

Hi, just bought the plugin and there are so many bugs!
So far it is not working. Not even the logo will show up. Plus, when I click the download link to download my package, it downloads a text file that says “Download is not available yet.”
Hi,
thanks for your response.
I already read this how to guide for creating a custom template but FIRST this doesn´t work as every file which is in a new download-manager folder just gets ignored and SECOND as I wrote before, the template which is been used for the listing of the download links in one category is the {active-theme}/archive.php and this one is not provided by wordpress instead of the download manager plugin.
Hope you can help me.
Hi,
If you need specific link template you can build one by copying from existing or using blank template from /edit.php?post_type=wpdmpro&page=templates.
If you need extra customization you can, you need to edit template files inside /plugins/wpdm-arhive-page/tpls/ dir. Please follow the following steps to edit a template file so that new update doesn’t erase your changes:
– Create a dir named download-manager inside your active theme directory if it is already not there.
– Copy all the files you need to modify from /plugins/wpdm-arhive-page/tpls/ dir to download-manager inside your active theme dir
– Update template file(s) in {active-theme}/download-manager dir as per your need
Thanks
Direct Links
At the bottom of the shared link settings pop-up, you will find a direct link to your file. A direct link is a web address (URL) that links directly to a file (without using Box Preview). This is different from a regular shared link, which will bring users to the Box preview screen for said file.
Direct links end with the file's extension type. Therefore, if you are linking to a Microsoft Word document, a direct link will end with *.doc. When a user clicks on the link, the file will be downloaded onto their computer or opened by a default program, depending on computer settings. Direct linking can also be used to host images or files for your website or blog.
Direct Linking is only available for individual files and is unavailable for folders. A link to a folder will always be a web address of a Box page.
You will need to select it for individual file link from link share type.
Follow that guide to achieve this.
Thanks
Hi,
Direct download is not available for the free user, This is a premium feature. And you can follow this guide to achieve the direct download link from any file.
Thanks

While the files appear to order as expected, child categories don’t… or is there a separate way to indicate how those should be sorted? On my page I have the main category “Council Meeting Minutes” and then sub categories for “2018”, “2017”, etc. The files sort by date as hoped, but not the child categories.
This is the shortcode I’m using: [wpdm_tree download_link=1 category=”city-council-meeting-minutes” orderby=”date”]
