Hi, i am traying to use the plugin in Newspaper theme i can,t view the download link. page: http://descargawhatsapp.mobi/descargar/hola , what can i do ? thanks!
you need to remove [download_link] tag from page template you are using there. Docs: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/
Where can i get a list of accepted values to use in the .csv import tool.
for example i have tried many ways to get “tags” imported as well as link page and link template, no matter what i put in these fields in the CSV file they do NOT import to the download.
Thanks
Hi Shaon, thanks for your response. But I think I didnt explained well.
By default, the MP3 template has the title of the download as a link to the page template. What I want is the same (having the title as a link) but to a direct download. In the code you gave me, the title is not a link and a “download” word appears beneath the title.
I only want to have the title of my download as the link to the download. Not an extra “download” word appearing.
¿Is that possible?

Hi,
I have two download links (one is a button (I want to leave this one) and the other is a link and when you click on it appears to write the password and to download the file). Well, I would like to remove that link.
How can I do it?
Thanks so much.
If you follow same instructions I mentioned in my previous reply, that should work, however, here is complete template code:
<div class="w3eden">
<div class="media thumbnail">
<div class="pull-left">
[icon]
</div>
<div class="media-body">
<h4 class="media-heading">[title]</h4>
<div style="padding-left: 0px;">
[download_link] <i style="margin: 2px 0 0 0px;opacity:0.5" class="icon icon-th-large"></i> [file_size] <i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="icon icon-download-alt"></i> [download_count] downloads
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Don’t need to refresh page, user will not be able to download the items when limit is expired if though they see download link. However there was a minor issue with this feature but we have fixed it and update is coming soon.
#1. Download and install http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-extended-short-codes/
#2. Clone the link template your are using there now, replace [page_link] with [popup_link] and save as a new template
#3. Use the new template now for popup link
Sorry, Download link can’t look like that anymore, from next update of this add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ you can attach file directly into post.
It staggers me that for a plugin with the word “Download” in it, there actually isn’t a download section on the site. Instead, you have to bizarrely navigate to your account dashboard and then click on the latest “Completed” order id and then click on a Download link. After all that, it only lets you download the very latest version! Unless you meticulously keep a copy of every single zip you download (and you might miss some because it’s not easy to know there’s a new version), this means there’s no way to roll back to any previous version easily.
The siite *desperately* needs a download archive section where every version you have ever been entitled to (including expired subscriptions, which crazily don’t let you download any version at all from what I can see, despite you probably being entitled to several releases under that expired subscription’s period).
Download Manager Pro doesn’t show any indication in the WP admin interface that there’s a new version available, which is extremely poor, particularly if the new version has security fixes. In fact, the lack of auto-updates of Download Manager Pro is utterly appalling and a major security risk, so I’m going to have to “homebrew” my own way of doing auto-updates.
Firstly, I’m going to need to know what the latest version of Download Manager Pro is – my best guess is to scrape this page:
http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/category/blog/new-release/
and look for the earliest line with “WordPress Download Manager Pro vX.Y.Z released” and extract the version from that. This seems extremely crude – is there a better way to get the latest version programmatically?
Once a new version is detected, it looks like I’ll have to screen scrape with curl to get to the latest zip file in my account:
* Login to Download Manager site
* Go to http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/purchases/
* Get the top (“Completed”) Order id line and follow the link
* Grab the Download link for the download-manager-X.Y.Z.zip file (may also need to get License key here)
* Logout from Download manager site
* Copy the zip file onto the server I want to update
* Run a sequence of WP-CLI commands as necessary:
– Deactivate old plugin (if present and activated)
– Delete old plugin (if present)
– Install new plugin
– Activate new plugin
– Add license key if needed (not sure how you do this step!)
* Do some post-upgrade tests (home page HTML OK, returns code 200 etc.)
* Rollback using an old zip file/license key if there’s a problem
It does seem to be a total pain in the backside to have to handcode this (and if the Download Manager site gets reworked, things will fail) – there *really* ought to be better way than this – an auto-updater plugin (which I see was around in 2011, but gone now) or something. I can auto-update all the other free and paid plugins I have installed in our WP sites…except for Download Manager Pro – arrgh!

If you use [download_url] tag, you will not see any message, the tag only will work for public downloads, in protected/locked download you will have to use [download_link] ( < — this tag will generate complete link ) tag instead of <a href="[download_url]">[title]</a> and you can setup message from download manager settings.
However, I also see there, link template you created in not actually correct, please give me temporary wp-admin login info, I’ll set this up there for you
#3 is doable but it will require some changed in code or need to write a new function.
Social locks are not working…
1. LinkedIn share button does absolutely nothing.
2. Google +1 button begins to open a window, but then it mysteriously closes.
3. Tweet reliably works, but it puts in extra text automatically like e.g. ‘via @w3eden’ (not something I would expect form a paid plugin).
4. Facebook like reliably works.
It also takes a considerable amount of time for all the share options to display. At times some of the share options are not correctly displayed e.g. only LinkedIn and Google are showing but the other two are missing. In cases like this you are forced to refresh the page and ‘hope’ that it corrects itself (sometimes it does, and sometimes you get a different combination of those that do and do not show).
I get the same results on the your site demo. Please help.

#1. At login required message option in download manager settings page you can add both links.
About the “solution”, may you please tell me what you trying to do.
#2. Need to edit template to add subscription page link
#3. That also will require customization in code. Need to replace [page_link] tag with <a href="[download_url]">[title]</a>
rel attribute is not turned off by anything, but respecting the attribute is totally depends on the bot, anyhow we will add bot prevention option for download link with the next update of the plugin 🙂
Hi,
1) but is it possible to place a button beside the login button that says “Please register” when people don’t have an account yet. How is this achievable?
I saw that you have already figured out a solution like this but I didn’t get information what you exactly have changed in the code: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/problem-with-wppromembership/#post-30666
2) Is it possible when using the download files shortcode to have a button that says “Become a member” and a button that says “Download now” when you are logged in? I saw this here http://slidebazaar.com/items/four-bubble-infographic-powerpoint-keynote-template/ which is also a client from you.
3) Is it possible to start the download immediately when using the shortcode http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/button-templates/ here? I have cloned the shortcode and was adding [download_link] to it, but it always links to the subpage where the download is placed, but I’d like to have it opened immediately after clicking. If not logged in people shall just see the button that says “Become member” or if this doesnt work, a popup shall occur that says “Please signup to access this download”.
Would be awesome to get a quick reply on here, thanks so much!
Best,
Hubertus

Yes, it could be bot, but we already used rel='noindex nofollow' with download link. You also may try contacting hosting support or analyze website visit stats to check from where the traffics are coming.
I’m having this problem too…
Using the shortcode:
[wpdm-all-packages items_per_page=50 order_by='title' order='ASC']
I have extended shortcodes addon installed but even the shortcodes generated by the Download Manager button on the Page Editor doesn’t sort the packages alphabetically.

Apply same solution for both link and page template, download count will work fine.
