I have a similar need, but to only to direct download one file. So as an example, you hover over a wp download link on the front end you will see a “#” instead of the download URL. Anyway to display the direct download URL on the front-end?
Shaon,
More I think about I really think my use for the limit is more something I would want and don’t think it would work for all users.
So please give it no more thought to that.
Thank you for you time.
Hope to see Direct Link Download in release soon.
@substance151 I am even more frustrated because I asked this before I purchased.
I’d like to think what I want is simple.
Customer wants a download (Demo or otherwise), fills out a form, receives an email (that we can customize to look professional), and clicks the link in the email.
At the same time we get an email with all the info in the form and everyone is happy.
I bought the Pro Pack (seemed like a good deal at the time) . I will check to see if the custom fields addon is included.

You can control email content from Form Plugin (because mail is sent by Form Plugin, not Form Lock addon), Form Lock does not control it. After submitting form WPDM unlocks download link of that package.
Three is no option yet to combine two buttons.
After submitting form, download link added to download button as a popover. A success message also shown there which comes from your form plugin. So there is no need to redirect to a new page.
Is it possible that once a visitor has completed the Email Lock or Form Lock form to redirect to an acknowledgement page that has a brief thank you message with the download button appearing underneath? Currently the download button fades in beneath the form on submit.
I’ve seen Lazy Download Add On come up in other threads, but that won’t work for me because I want the download to happen on the Thank You page itself. Any insight you have would be great, thanks.

Unfortunately, that did not solve the problem. I selected a PDF file to test with, set to public access (anyone with the link can view) and then added to my package. When I click the download link, I still get ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH.
I have installed the updated Google Drive add-on, and I love the new interface. But I am having one problem: I can’t download any files I’ve tested so far.
I’ve tried two file types: Google Docs format and PDF.
I have no idea if a Docs format is supposed to work, or what’s supposed to happen….was just testing: would I get a PDF’d version of it, or a direct link to the online version? Turns out, I just get a 404 error.
So I tried a PDF file, because that should work. However, I get an error page (in Chrome) that says: “This webpage is not available ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH”
You already have admin access to my account, if you wish to look at my site. The test package is called “Canvas English Test”.
HI Shaon,
Thanks for your efforts — you definitely got rid of the duplicate button. However, the look I wanted was what I had set up with my other template. I had modified another existing template, and ended up with two download links….and now, I can’t figure out what was wrong with it, to cause the duplicate. What I really need is a fix to the template I made, not a new template to modify (and perhaps ruin).
Can you please look at my template code here, and see what is wrong with it?
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="media">
<a class="pull-left" href="[page_url]">
[thumb_60x60]
</a>
<div class="media-body">
<h4 class="media-heading" style="padding-top: 0px;border:0px;margin: 0px;height: 20px;overflow: hidden">[page_link]</h4>
[excerpt_160]
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="panel-footer"><div class="pull-left" style="line-height: 30px;"><i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;" class="icon icon-download-alt"></i> </div> <div class="pull-right">[download_link]</div><div style="clear: both"></div></div>
</div>
- OK
- Yes, it will work
Note: Yes, if file name and location is not changed, then user will always get the updated copy when you update files using ftp, you don’t need to update package ( post ) from wp-admin.
Question 1: Do you think this is going to be my best bet for this type of file management?
— Yes, I think so 🙂
Answer for Q2:
Yes, you can make file password protected, wpdm has option for that, also there is email lock option, but use will get access to download or mail download link to their inbox as soon as they submit email, no email verification with Accept/Decline option there, but you may use our custom upgrade team to build an add-on for this.
Sorry, From lock doesn’t mail download link to email. If you want to mail download link you will have to use email lock option.

I purchased WPDM and the Form Lock add-on (for its Contact Form 7), but they don’t achieve what I’m looking for.
What I want to make is the following:
– Obtain the email from a Contact Form 7 form that I made, and email the user a unique link to download the file
– Store all of my form content into a database. It’s already set up with a Firebase script inside my Contact Form 7, which works fine on my webpages, but CF7 doesn’t seem to send data when it’s part of the Form Lock add-on for WPDM (the form data is not being sent to my database).
Any advice to resolve any of the above is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
In your shortcode change button_style parameter value to change button color.
Use http://wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ addon to insert shortcode. There you will find all available button styles.
Check following example shortcode, i have applied primary button style there.
[wpdm-archive cat_view=”extended” button_style=”primary” link_template=”link-template-calltoaction3.php” order_by=”post_title” order=”asc” items_per_page=”10″]
To remove number, have to edit plugin file. Send login info in private reply below. I will do that for you.
Thanks.
You can disable bootstrap from download manager settings page, but some link/page template with wpdm make not looks nice after that, but you can adjust them using custom css or custom template.
I applied a custom link template from Downloads Settings Front-end
Check now please. I applied a new page template with tag [download_link_extended] instead of [download_link]. Docs: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/
When using Category View shortcode, as described here:
Short-codes
It’s displaying a table with the same formatting/styling as the Responsive Table output as shown here:
http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/package-list-in-responsive-table/
(But without the datatable jstable sorting, which I do not want anyway so that is good)
I wish to modify the output of the table. What Template is being used? The short-code parameters says “template: same as explained for package short-code” But, it does not appear to be the case. I tried testing a few of the template names and none of them changed the output of the table. Is it a Link template? or a Page template?
Thank You.
Here’s a link to the end result;
Don’t think it’s very useful as it just shows a package with no files:
http://kidzkonnect4jesus.org/download/needs-list-2016/
Here’s a link (obviously only good with the logon provided privately) for a package where I am unable to upload a file.

Thanks for the reply, Unfortunately we are using [file_list_extended] to display all the links on the page. The number of files on each page varies from 1 – 3 files. http://www.interiorgas.com/download/board-meeting-6/
Any thoughts?
Yes, you simply need to create a custom link/page template for that, instead of using [download_link] tag, you need to use <a href="[download_url]" target="_blank">[link_label]</a> in your template. Docs: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/
I am using 4.4 Pro. I discovered the “Try to Open in Browser instead of download when someone clicks on download link”, which was just what I was looking for.
Is there a way to set it so it opens files in new browser window (target=”_blank”)?This is the standard for most designers.
