In reply to: Download button is JUST A LINK
Download won’t work for another user even if they have the link from another user. Download Manager checks if current user has access to the package before serving download.
I need to protect my file download, which the reason I purchased this plugin in the first place.
I have enabled password lock, but if a visitor enters the correct password, then a simple green ‘DOWNLOAD’ button is presented, which is just a link containing the master key. This link can be shared, used later, used on a different computer, broadcast on Twitter, etc.
It seems the “Lock Options” are simply a one-time hurdle, which can then be ignored later by anyone with the URL of the button.
Please tell me there is some way to secure this.

Yes, got the issue. WPDM adds a default
<div>to wrap the link template. Currently, there is no way to remove it excepting by editing code. You can remove the wrapping div from/download-manager/libs/class.Shrotcodes.phpPackagefunction.https://www.evernote.com/l/AUci2rIk8w9LJ6_xuX4YWmxgBsyIO-L92SEB/image.png
As subjected, I moved the website from “localhost” local server to online domain and when I click the “download” links they just won’t start, means that I click, “waiting for response” on browser status bar for a few seconds and the loading stops with the download page kind of quickly refresh itself with nothing happening: no download dialog window asking for where to save the file.
The “localhost” version on my PC works fine.
Please note:
– plugin is updated
– extended shortcodes plugin is updated
– wordpress is updated and working fine in all of its parts
– permissions on downloads directory are OK (i even assigned a 777 temporary permission both on files and dirs/subdirs)
– static download links works perfectly (i put one on a download page with full URL and the file is downloaded properly)
– already tried adding a package shortcode on the download page but I get exactly the same problem (download won’t start)
– files were originally added through the “Browse” tool on the download edit page (anyway, as a test, I re-added file once online, the file is regularly attached to download page but download won’t start. files browsing works fine, all the downloads files are there)
– permalinks were correctly saved after moving website to domain (Settings > Permalink)
You can test what I’m saying by accessing this page (just click the “Download” link and nothing will happen).
Can you please help me to find a solution? Which other checks should I do?
Thank you!In reply to: Link Template Question
Hi,
I already have a custom template for that called: link-template-aa-custom-link.php, but it closes the paragraph and puts the download link on the next line:
In reply to: Default Header
Yes, this is very easy actually, you can control the data visibility from the link and page templates. Docs:
Suddenly and without explanation, users have not been able to open or download package files when using Google Chrome. When clicking the link it takes them to a new page with an error message. They are able to download using IE and other browsers. This problem began with the previous version of WPDM installed and continues after the latest update. Clearing the browser cache does not solve the issue and deactivating all other plugins does not solve it either. The error received is pasted below along with a screenshot. The url is valid and works in other browsers.

ERR_INVALID_RESPONSEIn reply to: Link Template Question
Hello, I was having the same problem, where only the shortcodes showed up. I reverted to WordPress 4.8 and the previous version of Download Manager pro, and it works now.
To duplicate the problem, on my staging server. The download links were displaying normally, then I:
1) Updated WordPress 4.8 to 4.8.1.
— Download links still worked.
2) Upgraded Download Manager Pro from 4.6.7 to 4.6.8
— Download links broke, only shortcodes showing up.
The plugin behaves as if it is deactivated because all the menu items in the left side are gone, but the plugin is active.Topic: Link Template Question

Do you want to unlock it from there? If you are getting the invalid key issue in this site please update your version of Download Manager there. That should fix it.

In reply to: [wpdm_all_packages] Template?
No, there is no option to set link template there. Although you can use you modify the table using your own template (
/download-manager/tpls/wpdm-all-downloads.php) for this shortcode.Template cusotmization doc https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/
In reply to: [wpdm_simple_search] not working
Archive Page has many other shortcodes too not only simple search. Demo link ( Last Menu items in demo ) https://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/archive-page-default/
You can try WPDM Search widget if you want to use core search feature.
Topic: Open PDF files in Lightbox
For some reason, although I can open a PDF document in a Lightbox (by adding a certain “class” to the link) from anywhere across my website, all links from WPDownloadManager open either in a new tab or they simply get downloaded to my PC. I tried modifying the dynamic link itself, but I couldn’t achieve the expected result: having the PDF files from WPDM open in a Lightbox.
Attached is a video in which I compare a regular link across my website and the one from WPDownloadManager.
How can I make WPDM links behave the same?
In reply to: Mailchimp addon not working
1 ) Does MailChimp list get the leads after confirmation? Try using a new email.
2 ) Not possible yet. The download link is sent the first time.
Topic: Mailchimp addon not working
1. I have set the MailChimp for double opt-in but it is not working.
2. When clicking subscribe the file downloads and an email is sent with the download link. Shouldn’t they be able to download until after they are subscribed after the double op-in?
In reply to: No files in my "browse" tab
yup, I understand that. But just be aware that the “fix” in that file, is not actually the fix. The fix is to use the correct URL. The file was supposed to contain a fix so that cross-domain access becomes a non-issue. This is how it should be, since multisite users often have sites with different domains, even on the admin side. As it stands right now, I have to create a special link to add downloads, and in some cases (such as editing an existing item) change the link after loading the page, because the standard link (in the admin sidebar menu) does not work. I hope you can provide a file that does fix this issue. Thanks.
We recently upgraded to WP Download Manager v4.6.7 from v4.6.3. The updated WPDM plugin has introduced an issue with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin (the separate plugin by Elliot Condon, not the WPDM add-on.)
We are outputting WPDM shortcodes within an ACF Flexible Content field. There are several blocks of content within the ACF field that contain WPDM shortcodes (which are outputting links to individual packages.) Using v4.6.3, there were no issues displaying multiple ACF flexible content blocks with WPDM shortcodes. However, with v4.7.6, the system now displays the first content block containing WPDM shortcodes and then stops outputting the subsequent blocks. If the WPDM shortcodes are removed from the first block, it will continue to process content blocks until it hits one with WPDM shortcodes. It will render that block then stop. The rest of the page renders fine and no errors are thrown.
We tried deactivating WPDM, deleting and reinstalling. No luck there. Reverting to v4.6.3 resolves the issue. Any recommendations?

In reply to: File links not downloading
In the free version: template=”link-template-button-popup.php” – the link would include the document name. However, in the paid pro version the link for template=”link-template-button” only shows the “Download” link without including the name.
All I want to display is a list of files where their actual names display as the link title. I was able to accomplish this in the free version with that button-popup template. How can I do this with the pro version?

it seems like you didn’t configure link and page template properly. Here is the doc: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/
However, if you want me to set those up, please give me temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply.
Topic: File links not downloading
I pulled in a list of documents from a specific category. It’s lists the document links, but the links only go to a blank page instead of having a popup to download the file:
