You can’t change the text of single file download button. If you don’t want single file download link, just remove [file_list] tag from your page/link template.
There is an addon ( File Cart ) which allows downloading selected files as from different/same package(s) as a single zip.
Aha! Thank you, now it is finally clear. You should put that image in the documentation, at least it has not been obvious to me before.
But to me this is backwards…, if I could re-design this I would like the “big button” DOWNLOAD to represent “download this file” (=single or package =everything), because to me uploading a single file is the most normal case.
And there would not be any text-link at all, if that file is a single and not a package.
Only if that (“single”) file is actually a package of several files, then below it would be a list of simple text-links Download single file for each single file in that package-file, if someone for some reason want to download just one of those files contained in the package. Or, there could be boxes to tick next to each file in that package, “tick the single files you want from the packages, then hit download single files, if you do not want the whole package”.
The “big button” would still represent download this “single” file (with several files in it). Because if I do a package with several files, that would be becasue I want people to download them all at once, with one big button.
Just downloading part of my package would be an exception and not the normal case.
But that is just how I would like it to be, I guess other people use this feature in many other ways.
Last download link downloads the whole package where green buttons download each file. You will see the difference when you have multiple files in a package.
If you want you can remove the last download button using custom link/page template. Just remove the [download_link] tag from there.
Hi, after using WPDM for a long time now I am still confused why there are TWO download links on every single page template, one textlink and one green button? Why?
(I believe it has something to do with “single file download allow”?, but not sure how and why? We almost always upload single files and tick Single file download: “Use Global”.)
I have Default values and when I changed “Link Label”: “Download” to swedish words (and “Update all”) that changed everything, BUT NOT the green download-button on single file pages. Why is that? But the green download-button DID change to swedish when I uploaded the swedish language po and mo files, so button is ok now!
If I would like ONLY the green download-button on single file pages, not also the extra textlink, HOW do I do that?
If I check “Must Agree with Terms” it doesn’t seem to affect my ability to download at all. Also, I don’t see any handling for terms_lock in the DownloadLink() function. Did the handling get left out, or is there something I’m supposed to do besides click the terms lock checkbox and fill out the form?
My site seems to be getting 404 errors from the created download files, the pages seem to have /feed/ after the download link which doesn’t link to anything creating a 404 error, is this an issue that can possibly be resolved with the plugin?
Thanks for a quick reply! A funny thing is that Rockettheme gives no help to get third party plugins to work with Gantry 5… they claim that it is your plugin that isn’t working with Gantry 5 framework.
I have experimented with all the available page templates for each individual package, but the change never sticks. The presented page when clicking on the package header in the front end always result in a default page view without a download button or link to click to download the package.
If you are talking about the text on link/page template, they are not translatable. But you can change those texts editing link/page template ( Admin Menu Downloads Templates )
I am using a Rockettheme template (Remnant) that uses the Gantry 5 framework. I have installed WPDM and needed add-ons to pick page and link templates and download buttons. Everything work just fine except for the choosing of a page template. I can pick different link templates and they change accordingly, but the page template only allows for the Default template to be chosen.
I have WPDM on another site which uses Gantry 4, and there it works just fine.
I get a javascript-error in the browser console, which tells me that Download Manager lacks the file bootstrap-chosen.css.map in the catalog download-manager/assets/css/.
Please help me, since this is really crippling my site at the moment.
I have the same problem in the single download page. When I click on the download link, the popup module is partially hidden and you can not make it appear completely.
If you want to revoke access you just have to remove the role from access field and associated categories. No other action is required. However, if you found any package where an unauthorized user can download it, please give me the link and temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply to check the issue.
