Hi there,
currently I am updating our website locally. We need to increase PHP from 7.4.33 to 8.3.
After updating Downloadmanager from 5.4.1 to 6.5.3 and WPDM Archive Page from 3.0.1 to 4.5.0 the website just shows the inserted shortcodes e.g.
[wpdm-archive category=β140β³ cat_view=βextendedβ button_style=βprimaryβ link_template=βhk_audioβ order_by=βpost_titleβ order=βascβ items_per_page=β10β³]
[wpdm-archive cat_view=βextendedβ button_style=βdefaultβ link_template=βlink-template-hkaudio.phpβ order_by=βpost_titleβ order=βascβ items_per_page=β10β³]
This happens on every page.
In another current thread I read about a similar issue but no solution yet.
Today I will setup a testsystem to be able to provide you access if needed.
The website is running under WordPress 6.4.3 and PHP 7.4.33
Do you have any idea?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
I have checked your some of packages package settings. The Allow Access for default value seems working as expected for those packages. However, For categories hierarchy, giving access to a certain category for a particular role you have to set from the edit category option, then you have to make empty for the Β Allow AccessΒ option or have to give a particular role on it like as I image attached or as usual forΒ the select memberΒ option too,

because
Package Access = Package Access + All Category Access = All Visitors + Author = All Visitors
andΒ Package Access = Package Access empty + Category Access(Author) = Author
orΒ Package Access = Package Access(Author) + Category Access(Author) = Author
More details can be found in the below link,
Allow Access: Access Control Option
I hope you understand now.
please check and let me know if you have any queries.
Thank you and regards
I have adjusted the shortcode code. Please check now, https://freemasonscc.org/media-releases/. I have adjusted the wp-content\plugins\download-manager\src\Package\views\all-packages-shortcode.php file in the 346 number line for case 'page_link'. And also backup the file in your active child theme in download-manager folder. please check and let me know, if you have any queries.
Thank you and regards
That’s correct – we’d like to be able to use the wpdm_all_packages shortcode so that when you click on the title of the download it links to the file directly instead of to the download page.
In other words, the same function that exists for the download button, but on the title of the download instead.
Thanks!
Hello Simon Pierce,
Hope you are well. Thanks for writing to us. Can you please elaborate more on your requirements, do you want for wpdm_all_packages shortcode title field will be adjusted for download link when it will click. please check and let me know.
Thank you and regards
Hi,
I’d like to add a link to the titles in the wpdm_all_packages output table that points to the file directly (instead of the default behaviour which links the title to the download page).
I have a minimal level of PHP understanding so I’m happy to make changes to the file myself if it’s easier.
Thanks!
Yes, that works. Thanks! There are also other files associated with each Download package like Featured Image, etc. and other media files that are in WordPress Media Library. How do I get them over and linked to their respective packages? There are over 17,000 download packages so editing each individual package is not an option.
Thanks…
Hi,
We need to change both the profile and billing information for the renewal of our Download Manager PRO subscription. We have made some of these changes through the profile edit form, but we also need to change the payment method, currently via 2Checkout on a Paypal account, as this account has been discontinued following a merger of the previous company. We therefore need to change the Paypal account on which to charge the subscription amount.
Can you tell us the procedure to make this change? Can you directly make this change for us? Obviously, we will provide all the data of the new Paypal account as soon as possible.
Moreover, is it possible to also change the username? For us, it is important that no data related to the previous company appears anymore. If this is not possible, another solution might be to create a new account and thus have a new license code to link to the WordPress plugin?
Thank you for your support!

Manually uploaded WPDM attached files are generally stored in the wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files directory. However, cloud storage attached files attach as for download link not upload to the wp-content/uploads/download-manager-files directory. I hope you have understood now. please let me know if you have any queries.
Thank you and regards

Hello carin otten,
I have already replied to the answer with your other ticket. All files through the Google Drive add-on attached will be attached with a link, they will remain in Google Drive, and the package will be downloaded from your site. I hope you understand now. please check and let me know if you have any queries.
Thank you and regards
Glad to hear that, it is working. All files through the Google Drive add-on attached will be attached with a link, they will remain in Google Drive, and the package downloaded from your site. I hope you understand now. please check and let me know if you have any queries.

[wpdm_archive_compact template=”link-template-default” cols=2 colspad=1 colsphone=1 items_per_page=”10″ orderby=”title” order=”ASC”]
The Search and Filterbar ist shown but the filter/selection does not work. No Download Packages are shown.
Hello. Where in the database can I find the true link to the download file. I can only see the link with the package URL base and not the absolute link to the file. I’ve searched the DB tables and can’t find it.
You are welcome. I have removed the links from the first post. However, if you need further help with anything else, then please donβt hesitate to open a new topic. If you get some free moments, can you please give us a 5* here https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/download-manager/reviews/?rate=5#new-post, It will inspire us a lot. Thanks in advance π
Thank you again and regards

Please use download_link=1 parameter in your shortcode like this [wpdm_tree download_link=1]. Thus it will help you to enable start download directly. please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
Hello Sir,
Thanks for the quick update.
I used the tree view shortcode in page, but when I click the file it’s redirecting to download page.
What I am expecting in that when I click the file it will start download directly.

Is there any addons for direct download link in tree view?
Greetings, I cannot find any setting where I can designate my custom templates to be the “default” used whenever I upload a new downloadable asset.
I have several users who frequently upload new things my site visitors can download, but getting them to remember to go into that asset and scroll all the way to the bottom to choose our custom Page and Link templates is frustrating, it should be simple to create a setting that uses our custom templates as the default, and then we can scroll and choose a different template IF the asset needs it (they don’t, we prefer our custom templates for ALL downloads).
Please consider adding a Setting to select the default templates in an upcoming (soon hopefully!) update, thank you.
I have been a pro member for some years now. I was working on some link templates when I looked up the default templates on the Download Manager site: https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/ready-to-use-templates/
Most of these styles are unavailable to me on my installation. I’m running the latest version on WordPress, how do I obtain these templates?
