1- ya i want the form to collect user name – email – current page title – link.
2- what about
another thing import option downloading images already in my site so it be duplicated! shouldn’t it check if it in my first then try to download?

I currently suffer a severe trouble that the downlink is open free to download !
Your plugin has previously installed on our IP server at that time everything is fine , but after we Point the IP to our Domain then download link became free to download. Pls advice me how to fix it , many thanks !
Unfortunately I have been confronted with some scrapers that are trying to systematically download content from my platform despite various security measures. I already have the Download Limit set to 10 daily downloads but scrapers are using IP rotation. I already switched to “send download link to email” but I notice that scrapers can use the same email >10 times.
Is there a way to also limit the same email being used daily? This would help a lot.
The two links are entirely different. The test site has specific verbiage regarding embeds, but the live site has info for “play”. It’s almost like the live site is reading the pptx / docx as the wrong file type.
I have a bilingual site which I’m using Download Manager on. For the translations, Im using TranslatePress. I was wondering if it was possible to show different files depending on which language the site is being used on? For example, I have a file linked in English, but when the site is in another language, I would like the other file to be shown.
TranslatePress doesn’t create a new page for each language, which I think is why I’m struggling here as I can’t just link a different Download Manager shortcode..
When i visit this link in Chrome, it downloads the file just fine. ( including the stamp “Uitsluitend voor gebruik door mij” on the left)
However, when i visit this link with Safari, it fails the download. It creates a Bericht-In-MyMinFin.pdf.download file, but it fails to start/complete the download. This is both on my laptop as on other Macs with different versions of Safari.
My downloads have links with document-tag at the bottom of the template, site/document-tag/tagname etc .. these all give 404 errors. Can you help me find out why ?
Hope you are well. You can adjust the time from Downloads > Settings > General > File Download > Private Download Link Expiration Period. Please kindly check.
Hello – What is the default time limit for download links sent to users who use the email lock form? My download links seem to expire after about 5 mins.
Since updating WP Download Manager from version 6.5.7 to 6.7.8, I’ve noticed significant layout and display issues on a page using the [wpdm_all_packages] shortcode.
Problems observed:
Column headers defined with colheads break as soon as they contain accented characters (e.g. “É”, “ô”): characters disappear or render incorrectly.
The visual layout of the table is also degraded (borders missing, columns misaligned).
The problem happens even when jstable=1 is removed, so it’s not only related to DataTables or JavaScript.
If I roll back to WPDM 6.5.7:
Table displays correctly.
Accented headers render fine.
JS sorting, search and pagination work properly.
Shortcode used:
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" jstable=1 categories="Evaluations" thumb=1 order_by="acf_Diplme_formation_alternance" order="ASC" cols="page_link|acf_tablissements_nom_commercial_etablissement|acf_tablissements_nom-de-letablissement|acf_Diplme_site_formation_annees-diplomantes|acf_Diplme_formation_alternance" colheads="Nom de la formation|Nom du diplôme|Établissement|Campus|Alternance"]
Tests performed:
Removing jstable=1 → search/sort disappear, but accent issues remain.
I haven’t tested without ACF fields yet (can do if needed).
Replacing accents with HTML entities (É), UTF-8 encoding, or URL encoding → no fix.
No theme change made (still using Avada).
The WPDM official demo works perfectly, so the issue is not universal but likely linked to something introduced in 6.6+.
Request
Could you please confirm:
Has the way colheads strings are processed changed between versions 6.5.7 and 6.7.8?
Is this a known bug or an unintended side effect of recent updates?
Is there a way to fix this immediately while keeping WPDM up to date?
I’m happy to provide HTML output or test any patch if needed.
Thanks in advance for your help.
