Hello, i’ve recently acquired WPDM-PRO and WPDM Custom Access level plugins.
I installed a fresh copy of plugins, verse theme ad WP latest. We have permalinks set to full URL.
We need to set-up a simple file sharing system, to allow our client to share files with clients in a secure manner.
I setup the website so that at the homepage, users see the login form, once logged they see the user dashboard (simply used [wpdm_user_dashboard] in the page).
The dashboard has some links that do not work. And we had to manually create some pages to account for the broken links in the dashboard menu:
A – “Edit Profile” leads to 404, we solved in a page with [wpdm_edit_profile]);
B – “Profile link” seems useless as it only reloads that same page;
C – “Download History” leads to 404, we created a page to solve the 404 but do not know that shortcode to use there! (complete lack of documentation)
D – “”Logout” leads to 404 how do i solve that?.
User level section is completely BLANK (what is it for?)
User dashboard also shows on Recommended Downloads section downloads that the user is NOT ALLOWED to download or even see.
We need to know how to create a page that shows all downloads avaiable to the logged user. Last 5 downloads in dashboard is not nearly enough. What happens if user needs to re-download old files? There is no way to get to them since “Download History” link is broken.
At the moment i find this plugin to be immature, it is missing documentation, i found many shortcodes in the code that do not even exit in the documentation (ex. [wpdm_my_downloads] gives a list of files for the user, but information is limited and besides prints a PHP error related to WPDM Custom Access plugin.)
And we thought this was a mature plugin….
HELP!
Hi, we’re trying to figure out how to link to the pdf file only — not to a page where the user then had to click another button to download the file. For example, on http://newsite.debtorsanonymous.org/fellowship-services/order-literature/ , can we have it so when the user clicks the download icon, the “Download” link, or the linked “Literature Order Form” text, it downloads/opens the PDF, as opposed to taking them to http://newsite.debtorsanonymous.org/download/literature-order-form-for-orders-submitted-in-2014/ where they then have to click the Download link? My boss said that’s how it was working before they upgraded to the pro version.
Thanks and let me know if you have any questions!
How can I make the title of the document be the download linke? I made a template that has the title and then a link called download, but I can’t figure out how to combine them.
Thanks,
Brandon
My client requires all subscribers to see the same 5000 downloads so I am using the data table layout as this is the only way I can seem to make that work.
Is there a way to change the actual 5000 package template without having to edit each one? There is only one category and all packages are within that category.
Is there a way to eliminate the category column in the data table layout?
Is there a way for the first column where the pdf is a link for it to open in the browser – as there is already a download button over on the right.
Finally is there a way to block access to the entire page unless you are logged in as the subscriber? In other words they can see everything that is there now but they can’t access it – I would prefer it just be a login page so then they see everything. I thought that the Access Settings would impact that but it does not seem to.
Thank you.

Hey there,
when I use the option to hide downloads, then all downloads are hidden even with access permission. My Users have multiple roles and it looks like you are only checking the primary role! It works when I set it to the primary, but thats not the solution, I need multiple roles.
If I only hide the download links it works because you check all roles.
Any Solution to this Bug?

There’s a section to the top right that says home > category here
Client would like this removed.
Also using panel 1/3 link template. need to add break in between the links as they’re flush against each other.
see: lifelinechurchchicago.com/downloads
1. Issue
Regardless which Link Template is select in a shortcode the display never changes.
I have created a new page called downloads. Using the Extended Tiny MCE Button I have inserted the following shortcode:
[wpdm_packages link_template="link-template-calltoaction4" order_by="post_title" order="asc" paging="asc" items_per_page="10" title="" desc="" cols=1 colsphone=1 colspad=1]
But instead of showing the package links like in the preview (see attached preview_cta4.png) I get the default display (see frontend_cta4.png). This counts for any link template I reference in the shortcode. The rendered html code shows always “<!– WPDM Link Template: Panel –>”
2. Issue
Although the extended shortcode plugin is installed and active they do not show up.
I have inserted the shortcode [wpdm_tree] in the page mentioned above. However it does not display the file list. In the rendered html code I see “<div id=”tree5648639db1401″ class=””><ul class=”jqueryFileTree” style=””></div>”. Only if I setup a category those packages belonging to that category show up. Packages without category are not displayed.
I could swear this issues are new. I have setup a fresh WP installation to make sure this in neither a theme nor a plugin conflict. I have downloaded the latest zip files for WPDM and WPDM Addons. WP 4.3.1, WPDM 4.4.0, WPDM ESC 2.4.3 and WPDM TMB 2.4.1. Tested with Themes Twenty 13/14 and 15 as well as Theme Enfold. The results are always the same.
Kind regards

I have a couple simple questions that I am sure are easy to correct, but I simply cannot find the solution on my own (please see screenshot for visual reference):
1. How do I remove the information (Download, link, file size, and download count)?
2. How can I make the accordion appear expanded upon page load?
I have looked at the (.php) template files, but cannot locate the code, nor have I located an option to enable/disable this functionality in the dashboard.
Hello,
I have found a very odd plugin conflict and not sure where to start troubleshooting.
Using Download Manager Pro with the directory plugin. On the directory page I’m using the following shortcode:
[wpdm-archive button_style=”default” items_per_page=”10″ order_by=”date” order=”asc” cat_view=”extended” link_template=”link-template-search-result”]
That works fine.
However, if I activate a plugin called Plugin Organizer (https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-organizer/), the “results” section of the WPDM Directory (below the categories list) is replaced by a copy of my homepage. Almost like the search results section is an iframe and my homepage the destination. See attached screenshot.
if I disable the plugin organizer, the directory page goes back to normal.
How do I stop this?
