I noticed that the font awesome css was not making it over to my link-template-bsthumnail template (http://www.furniturefirst.coop/downloadmgr/bedroom/bedroom-medium-high/). However it works fine on a page template such as “Metro Style” (http://www.furniturefirst.coop/downloadmgr/download/american-drew/).
Any suggestions on how to fix?

Hi,
I discovered how bots access the files. I checked the logs of the WP Statistics plugin, and found that all the suspicious files have massive link visits.
the link was visited 46,896 times, although the page itself was visited like 200 times only.
http://coptic-treasures.com/wp/download/%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%A8-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D8%A7%D8%B5%D8%A9-%D8%A8%D9%85%D8%A4%D9%84%D9%81-%D9%85%D8%B4%D9%87%D9%88%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%86%D8%A8%D8%A7/?wpdmdl=21511
there is no where on my website that i lik the files using the method above, as i did not even know this linking system.
can you please explain how this is happening? i am not saying that this is definitely bot activities, but having 4 stats sources that align in numbers makes the problem in WP Dpwnload manager.
Awaiting your help.
Cheers.

Hi,
I bought the pro version of download manager and I try one problem with the users access to downloads. I allow access to download files for admin ands subscribers in a single file and settings but this roles can’t view the link because haven’t access ( they can read ‘Access Denied’ in the button ). I don’t know what is the problem because Administrator for example have all the capabilities and can’t access to download. In sinlge edit I can’t add users to allow access line. I need help with this, thanks 🙂

I found the problem…there are a conflict with other plugin (‘Types’)
In our site the customers purchase e-ticket for our vocational education events. When they purchase this type of Woocommerce products we will want to grant acces for a specific time to a memberdhip plan that permit to download our digital content from a repository that we are creating with your great plugin. To accomplish this when they make a Woocommerce purchase we should be able to activate a membership.
Since your membership plugin does not interact with Woocommerce, we thought we could manage the restriction of the download link with the shortcodes of another plugin that, instead, works with woocommerce .
Similarly they also will be able to subscribe to a plan that allows themselves to download our content for a defined period. In this case we could sell through your membership plugin, but we should be able to allow, also the method of payment through bank transfer.
Thanks.
Ok lets say I have a download package with 5 files in it.
File1
File2
File3
File4
File5
I need to be able to do two things.
1. Link to each file individually from a page.
Example: File 1
2. I need to be able to upload a new version of File1 in the admin area and update the version number but at the same time not have that effect the links to the individual file as i mentioned in 1.
I may have misunderstood what he intended @shaon , he was referring to your plugin ?
I can’t use your plugin because I need to grant access to the download link with a membership that users obtain when they purchase a woocommerce products.
Is there a chance? For example by purchasing a your development’s package?
Thanks
Why the restrict shortcode of other membership plugin doesn’t work in your download templates?
for example:
[groups_member group=”Gold Plan”]
[download_link]
[/groups_member]
Is there a chance? For example by purchasing a your development’s package?
Thanks

We shall add block IP option soon. For now you can block those ips from hosting control panel and to block hot link you can use this add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-block-hotlink/
Hi
Re the attached – how do I remove the download link completely so that people have to click on the item title only?
The shortcode I am using is
<span style=”color: #707070; font-family: ‘Open Sans’; line-height: 24px;”>[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page="20" jstable=1]</span>
Thanks

Hi, we develop our sites in a development environment with different URLs than the live site (e.g. http://devsite.domain.com goes to http://domain.com). This creates an issue when moving the site from one URL to another. All paths to download packages break because the URLs have changed. Do you have a recommended method for updating/replacing development file paths to production file paths after a site has gone live?
Thanks!

Hi,
I had an unrealistic large downloads spike yesterday and my hosting company suspended my website because of CPU overusage.
I run foodiesfeed.com and provide there food pictures free to download to anyone. Usually I got around 2 or 3k downloads a day.
However, yesterday and during todays night I had got 100k downloads together even though the traffic was usual which is 950 unique visitors.
Can you please help me to find out what may cause such huge downloads spike? The Siteground customer service told me to disable the plugin logging IP adresses into database. Is that possible?
Also, is it possible to block other people downloading from my website then those who are currently browsing it? So pirates can’t right click the download link, copy it and provide it somewher else other than on my website.
I’m quite misserable.
Kind regards,
Jakub
- Please use:
[wpdm_package id=ID template="link-template-panel"]
- Detailed docs available here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/
However the special short-code part is deprecated now, as there are not details link template option.
Template Docs:
Templates
Template Tags:
Template Tags
Add following code at the end of your theme’s functions.php
function add_custom_template_tag($vars){
if(function_exists("kk_star_ratings"))
$vars['kk_star_ratings'] = kk_star_ratings($vars['ID']);
return $vars;
}
add_filter('wdm_before_fetch_template', 'add_custom_template_tag');
Now you can use [kk_star_ratings] in link or page template to show the star rating.
Docs: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/filter-reference/wdm_before_fetch_template/
All Download Table can only block download link for now, you need to use short-code like this
[wpdm_packages template="link-template-panel" order_by="post_title" order="asc" paging="asc" items_per_page="10" title="" desc="" cols=3 colsphone=1 colspad=3]

Hi I went ahead and purchased the plug-in. I’ve created 2 user roles in the WP-admin they are called Company A and Company B.
I currently have 2 download packages uploaded (each with an assigned user role, one company a and the other company b. When I log in as Company B, I should only see the download I’ve assigned to Company B, but I see both. In addition it says “blocked” where “download” should be. How can I fix this?
In a presale email you said…
in pro you will have option to hide only download link OR all contents including desc, package inf and file list as per your need.
I can not find this option…
Dear All,
I am trying to get a help here for the very last time. Is anyone able to resolve this issue finally?
What kind of difficulty prevents you to implement the working LinkedIn lock functionality?
As said, please check the example: http://www.scalatalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=53 where you see a LinkedIn share button and it works.
Why cannot be implemented that mechanism here?
You said already 4 times that this will finally work in the next version… Still doesn’t… 🙁
Anyhow the number of downloads is not increasing as well… And I am on the latest version of download manager as well as appshop theme.
Possible to help me?
Thanks and Best Regards,

- Access field name is
__wpdm_access , but the value should be a serialized array of role name(s)
- Same as #1
- link template filed name
__wpdm_template
- Same as #3
- update wp_post set post_content = “Description here” where post_type=’wpdmpro’
- same as #5
For #1 ~ #4, use SQL:
insert into wp_postmeta (post_id, meta_key, meta_value) select ID, 'Field_Name', 'Field_Value' from wp_posts where post_type = 'wpdmpro';
However next update of default value add-on will have bulk update feature, which is coming within this month.
– front-end page in which directories are visible in a scroll down menu, user can upload files in it just selecting them. Furthermore, if I add the front-end short code to a page I get a not found page error when trying to create a new package or edit the profile. I have already tried to save the permalinks option again but it doesn’t work.
– download page in which user can choose the directory from a scroll down menu and get to the documents in it to download them.
thanks
Hi guys,
unfortunately the [download_link] shortcode seems not to work on the file detail page. When logged out the link template shows the red login button for people to login to access the file (screen 1). But on the detail page when logged out no button occurs that shows people to log in in order to access the file (screen 2).
But both templates, the link and the page template are using the [download_link] shortcode. How can I display the login button then also on the detail page (screen 2)?
Thanks so much!
Hubertus
