In reply to: Tree Shortcode
Sorry, you can’t filter the tree view by tags, but you can do that using category. You can create sub-groups tree view using parent category.
Ex:
[wpdm_tree category=”all-documents” download_link=1], where “All Documents” should the parent category.
In reply to: Help request with display pages/categories
Hi! Thanks for the response. those square boxes are the files I uploaded into the download manager and categorized. I’ll review and follow the instructions you provided and see where I end up. One thing I do not understand is where to add the short code. Do I create a new page in my site and place the short code in it?
As I dig further, do I need to create a page for each category, and then use the short code to manually add the download link every time I upload a new file?
Or is there a better way to automatically generate a page that looks like your demo pages with all the categories all nicely laid out? If not, does this mean I would create a page and simply add the short code ids for all the desired downloads I want to make public?
I also need to add I’m using the free version, not the pro version, which has add new file, not “add new package”
Thanks!
In reply to: Setting up the Categories view
It is because, the view mostly depends on your active theme. You only can select a link template or show some package info, you can configure it from Admin Menu Downloads Settings Frontend tab Category Page Options panel
Seems like, to solve your biggest problem, it will require creating custom theme template, explained here:
In reply to: Disable direct-download?
Hmm… we might be able to use that method I suppose. It would be nice if there was a way to regenerate that key automatically on a daily basis or something so that we don’t have to remember to reset it all the time.
We need a way to track the downloads and a way to revoke access when they stop being a customer. The “multiple passwords” option is almost what we need, but we can’t tell which password was used for each download in the log, so there’s no way to know who it was. Is there any way to create download links that are one-use-only?
Hi,
Is there some documentation on setting up the view when a user clicks on a category? The documentation is not very detailed.
I want my category page to look the ‘new downloads’ section on the demo. I also want the side bar to be visible.
Currently the biggest problem I have is that the link template is shown but also the text, heading and featured image. Can I hide these?
Thanks for your help.

Actually, to edit such code, you will need good experience with PHP coding, and there it is a template tag, not short-code, template tag need to be placed in link or page template ( https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/ )
Topic: Tree Shortcode
I want to display a file tree using the shortcode – [wpdm_tree download_link=1]. But instead of all files in all categories I want to display just those files with a particular tag of ‘forms’.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Topic: Disable direct-download?
I notice that if I bookmark the link to the download button or keep the email when I get a download by email (http://site/page/?wpdmdl=xxxxx&_wpdmkey=xxxxxxxxxxxxx), I can keep using that link forever without entering any passwords. Is there a way to stop people from downloading the file again directly once their password is expired?
Our goal here is to give a customer a way to download a file from our site that we can eventually revoke when they cease to be a customer. Our WordPress login page is inaccessible to the outside world for security reasons, so giving every customer a “Subscriber” record isn’t possible for us.

Thanks but why did it happen and will it happen again on the next update
and my download links are wrong. They all show a “button” with the word “download” and a “play” icon (as in play a video) when they used to show either the link label I put in the package or just the word “download” as a link when there was no link label.in the package

Yes, you can use the following filter to introduce new template tags:

In reply to: How to show archive in 2 columns
Clone Link Template Panel 1/3 ( From Downloads Templates admin page ) and then set parent div class to
col-md-6. Use this custom link template when inserting archive shortcode. Your packages will show in 2 columns now.In reply to: No file detail information
Yes, you can remove the details page link. Use a different link template than what you are using now.
Following link templates doesn’t have the link,
1. Default Template
2. Default Template Extended
3. Default Template with download count
use TinyMCE addon to insert shortcode, you will have the option to select link template.
In reply to: Problem with Shortcode
There are two ways of showing a download/package.
1. Link template ( using shortcode ) – There are multiple link templates available. Each one has its own layout. Use TinyMCE addon to insert shortcode, you will find the option there to select the link template.
2. Page Template – This is the details page for the package/download. You see this page when previewing the package. You can set this details page url in your link template. Clicking on the title ( in link template ) brings the user to the details page.
Topic: No file detail information
Hello,
I am trying the download manager free plugin – is there any option to hide the detail information link? so that I have only the filename with download button and maybe if possible a thumbnail?Thanks

AlexHello,
1. I have a question why only one package appears on the homepage of the ‘NEW DOWNLOADS’ section? There is no ‘TABBED’ section too. I have turned off the SLIDERS section, but it did not affect the problem with the rest of the sections.
2. Is it possible to add the Top Downloads section on the homepage?
3. Translations of this phrases are not visible on the site admin panel:
– If you like, you may enter custom structures for your wpdm category and package URLs here. For example, using “<b>packages</b>” as your category base would make your category links like http://example.org/<b>packages</b>/category-slug/. If you leave these blank the defaults will be used.

Hi,
I am unable to get the shortcode to display properly in my posts. When I create a new download item it displays the download information and statistics of that download on the preview page in a table. When I attempt to use the shortcode for this download on a post all it shows is the download button, the name of file and the file size. If I include a “template=link-default-template” it echos “link-default-template” on the page. Here is my shortcode syntax: [wpdm_package id="109" template=”link-default-template”] but this doesn’t work. I would like the short code to display the stats of the file in a table as it is displayed from my download preview. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for your time
In reply to: Update Created Issue with Files showing
Okay, that’s good to know. It does look like some things have changed, and I am curious if we can fix.
We have the files on this site linked out to all our other websites and when the link is clicked (on the other sites) they should be providing a direct download for our customers.
As of now they are linking to the page on this rhino applicators site: http://www.rhinoapplicators.com/download/acid-stain-tds/?wpdmdl=3625
Is there a way to get them to be direct downloads again?
Hello there,
We purchased the “Form Lock” add-on and using it with “Download Manager Free” combining with “Gravity Forms” (this is a must according to our requirement).
We have multiple downloads on same page and it’s rendering multiple Gravity forms on same page (but it’s same Gravity form).
All forms are rendering the WPDM Package ID properly in hidden field and when submitting the form every form is showing the download link to the first download item on the page. I checked and realized the form ids for the Gravity forms are remaining same even though we have multiple forms on page and I suspect this is issue behind the incorrect URL generation. I’m not sure this is an issue that I need to raise with Gravity forms, so I’m submitting to both.
Please check and let us know whether this is fixable from your end.
Thanks.

Okay, got the issue, it is working fine for guest downloads too. However, any user can link their purchase with their account simply entering guest order id purchase page:

In reply to: All Packages – navigation issue
Hi,
When packages in the table are filtered using category page reload event occurs and loads a different URL ( adds category info in URL ). Shouldn’t these two events enough to provide the user a sense that back button will bring all packages back?
However, if you want you can make your own template for All Packages table and add following code to create a Back to all packages button,
<?php if(isset($_GET['wpdmc'])): ?> <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>">All Downloads</a> <?php endif; ?>Thanks.
In reply to: default output like this…
The link you shared uses Crypton’s default look. Your package page should look like that by default if you are using Crypton. You need this add-on to show image buttons https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-image-button/
Please send me the url to check.
