you need to create new link template without [download_count]
tag, and apply to all packages, but if you want to use mass update feature, you will need this add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-default-values/
in that first package, clone/edit the link template and add following code next to [download_link]
:
<a href="[page_url]?wpdmdl=[ID]&masterkey=[masterkey]" target=_blank>Print</a>
Hallo,
I see that everytime one clicks on the download link he gets redirected to the download page (this feature was not present WPDM free). Is it really necessary that the user is redirected to the download page? Isn’t it possible to download directly immediately after clicking on the icon?
Hallo, I could luckily resolve the problem with the license. Now I’d like to know how I can personalize the template of the link for ALL dowloads at a time. For instance, the default template could be OK but I don’t want the download count to appear. How can I do that? I tried in the “settings” section, but didn’t find anything.
Hi I think my problems are in the somewhat in the same area:
1) Password protected files will not download.
I am not a programmer, and I do not update my plugins every-day. On my site the download links often stop working, and I have to update everything to make them work.
Is there a simple way to always make the download links work?
2) If more than 1 download-button has been used, instead of a download link, I get this on the next buttons: “<button type=button id=’close’ class=’btn btn-link btn-xs pull-right po-close’ style=’margin-top:-4px;margin-right:-10px’>”
What is happening?
Cheers
User can email download link, and there is another option “Open in Browser” where user can use this option, to open file in browser then print it.

Hi Shon
This is great almost what i needed
Needed two more things can you please tell me how to do this
1) Can we capture the guest user name and email id in the order page, right now its showing empty
2) what is the shortcode to add the download link in the email template
Thanks
Anand
It is redirecting you there as you are already logged in, guest checkout will work when you actually are not logged in, however I also have removed the update profile tab from that page, actually that is not necessary anymore as it is already available with user dashboard. Update is coming in next few hours.
BTW, how do you think about the download link inside email? Easy digital download adds open/unprotected download link in email, any person who have that link can download it even without any verification, will that be very secure for the sellers? But no problem, you are the seller, so if you want, I don’t have any problem to add download link in email.
Hi Shon
i have tried the guest checkout but it takes me to a page where you have to enter your Order ID: and Order Email:
instead can we take the non register users to a page called purchase confirmation and show the order details ( PFA the attachment for the reference).
I don’t want users to register on the website to purchase.
Can we place a download link url [download_Link] in the email template ( wpdm-premium-packages templates email-templates)
so that guest user can download it from there mail itself
If this can be done im done with my website.
Please suggest
Thanks
Anand
Sure, this page is currently implemented in something else, I’m trying to reproduce it in WP:
http://www.comm5.com.br/novo/produtos-categoria/placas-seriais-pci-express-33/2sg-pci-e-153
On the right there is a sidebar with 3 link images, one for Catalogs (Catalogo), Manuals (Manuais) and Drivers. Each can either be a single download file (pdf or zip) or have “suboptions” such as “Windows”, “Linux”, etc. So, clicking one of them I would like to get something similar (or better) that this:
http://www.comm5.com.br/novo/departamentos/drivers/153
My current implementation of sidebar.php for WP contains this to get the link:
function comm5_get_download_link($property) {
// Query custom property value
$propertyValue = get_post_custom_values($property);
$wpdm_package = wpdm_get_package(intval($propertyValue[0]));
if ( count($wpdm_package) > 0 ) {
return esc_url( $wpdm_package['page_url'] );
} else if ( count($propertyValue) > 0 ) {
return esc_url( get_permalink( get_page_by_path( $propertyValue[0] ) ) );
} else {
return '';
}
}
You can select a category;
category
: use any category slug here if you want to create an archive page for that specific category or don’t use the parameter
eg
[wpdm-archive category="electtwo" cat_view="extended" button_style="danger" link_template="link-template-default-wdc.php" order_by="download_count" order="desc" items_per_page="10"]
Hi,
You have to change your link_template value in shortcode. There is no link-template-panel in Free version. That’s why this issue generated.
Try following shortcode instead,
[wpdm-archive button_style="default" link_template="link-template-calltoaction3.php" items_per_page="10" category="category-slug" order_by="field-name" order="asc or desc"]
You can use TinyMCE Button to insert shrtcode. It shows all available link templates in dropdown.
Thanks.
Hello, I just purchased WPDM Directory but when implementing it on our site we don’t see the downloads listed but instead see the following:
link-template-panellink-template-panellink-template-panellink-template-panellink-template-panellink-template-panellink-template-panellink-template-panellink-template-panellink-template-panel
We’re using this shortcode to display this:
[wpdm-archive button_style="default" link_template="link-template-panel" items_per_page="10" category="category-slug" order_by="field-name" order="asc or desc"]
Hi Shon
Is there any way where users can download the files without registering ?
When i checked the guest checkout, its taking me to a guest orders page but the download is locked
Is there another option which they can download the file after the payment confirmation ( A page which shows the payment details and a download button to get the files) ?
also a email template with the download link which goes out to the email id’s
i am looking for a same checkout process of easy digital downloads
If this can be done, i will be verymuch thankful, i can remove easy digital downloads and use only WPDM
Thanks

Thanks. I’ve updated the add-on and that’s solved that problem. But now another one is occurring. Whilst I can now download a resource from that resource page (http://familyimpact.org/resources/family-impact-resources/), if I try to download more than one file it simply downloads duplicates of the first file.
So if I click ‘download’ for Adventure Unlimited and fill in my details and get the download link then it works fine. But if I then click on ‘download’ for any other resource it will simply download the duplicate of Adventure Unlimited.
Please advise on how to resolve this as soon as possible.
Also, I checked in my Downloads > Settings > Updates and it wasn’t showing Form Lock Add-on as having an available update. It would be far more useful if that list reflected which updates were actually available.
right now, you talk about another hotfix: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/no-more-own-linktemplates-in-widgets/
may you please officially tell in some place what issues this will ghost-hotfix will certainly fix?
Hi Shon
But when they finish the check out they reaches the order pages in which we have a edit profile tab, is there anyway to remove that from there
Also how can i customised the premium package email template
and also include the download link in the template
Thanks

This reply has been marked as private.
That issue got fixed.
I’ve disabled guest orders in favor of requiring users to sign up for accounts before purchasing/downloading. However, when a purchase is completed, it takes the user to a page that does not exist (screenshot #1 attached). Clicking the download link in the email takes them to a page that doesn’t exist as well (screenshot #2).
What is going wrong?
Create a link template using following code:
<h3>[title]</h3>
[file_list]
[download_link]
And use the new link template with your category short-code.
Template Docs: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/
Questions wrt email lock custom fields:
1.) where do I enter this code (what file)?
2.) If I create a field with the ID of “cust_company”, how do I insert this into that code in the body of the message?
3.) How do I insert custom field data into the template that is used to send the link to the customer? I see in Subscribers>email template that there is [download_url] and [site_name] is there something similar for custom fields? I tried [cust_company] but that doesn’t work.
4.) how do I make a custom field required?
I want to display 2 or 3 downloads side by side on the category. i can make a linktemplate but the downloads are always displayed among themselves. how can i change that?
Hi,
You can create a guest order page using [wpdm-pp-guest-orders] shortcode. After creating that page , save it in Premium Package Settings
https://www.evernote.com/l/AUez_NPgfjVIYZ9P3m263iMUVOMcogGfqfMB/image.png
Guest User can download their ordered product using order id and email address(from checkout step) from that page.
And email for guest download has to refer to that guest order page (currently it sends link of dashboard page, we will update email link in next release of Premium Package ) For now you have edit email template from plugin folder (premium-package/templates/email-templates) dir.
Fatal Error has been fixed (it is from Download Manager ) and updating plugin today.
Thanks.
