Cache added over 5 gig to my server. Also, when I updated from 3.0 to 4.0, all the product download links were gone. If so, do I have to add them again? Your upgrades should be more efficient and not cause more work on our part.
Updating URLs used to be an easy job as they had their own Database Folder “ahm_files” or something like that. Now, everything is in “postmeta” which has made updating links pretty hard as you have them serialized, which I don’t understand what that means.
To update the links, I would literally download the Database file, open Notepad++ and dona find and replace. This method works the best and quickest!
Sorry, that is not possible yet, as Dropbox generate only temporary direct download link, however we will release advanced dropbox add-on soon where there you will be able to generate direct download link.
I’m having an issue where my users are downloading a file and the wrong file gets downloaded. A number of users already reported this problem. Below is some of the reported issues.
I can’t download it, I think there is something wrong with the links, when I download it, the file is memboost_1959.zip

this can’t be from any regular visitors, except some bot copied the download link and tried to access it repeatedly, max download count could be same or double of page view but not this much. You may check it from your website stats, which IP doing this, but nothing much here to do from wpdm itself, but as I explained earlier, block hotlink can block direct access to download link from external source.
I have a PDF file designated to a specific user using Download Manager Pro and Custom Access Level.
On my website, when someone clicks a link to a PDF, it typically opens up as a new web page. However, when they click a link to the protected PDF, it downloads instead of open.
Shahriar, it is now working, but every package on the site is now no longer displaying the icon and more importantly, is now showing the download count which has to be removed URGENTLY. I cannot see anywhere on the package to change that, and I don’t have time to go through every single file making changes. Can you please fix this or tell me a fast way to do it. The website looks really poor at the moment, and I would not have allowed access to the website if I had known you weren’t going to check that the changes you made hadn’t adversely affected the site. I will also post this in the other forum you mention because I can’t wait days for a response.
Can this be due to Facebook bot? these spikes happen when i share the posts containing these download links on facebook and twitter, nd my posts get shared.
can this be the cause?
will the hotlinking extension fix this? or i need other steps?
Can you please be patient and explain how are the bot visits considered hotlinking?
My problem is not users stealing my content!!
Also, if i bought and installed the hotlinking prevention extension, will this prevent me from linking to the files? I have a PDF reader flipbook that i feed the pdfs paths to it so people can read the pdf online.
and also use the worpdress audio shortcode to play some files. will the extension stop this?
Please find attached a screenshot of the hits activity on 1 link that WPDM is saying that it was downloaded 32,075 times, while the page was visited only 972 times.
clearly there are bots activities as the link was visited in one day 45,000 times and in another day 25,000 times. this can’t be legit users.
