If you want complete control over template, you need to create a template file taxonomy-wpdmcategory.php in your current theme dir, then use the loop. But as it is now, you can select a link template ( Docs: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/ ) for category page from Admin Menu Downloads Settings Front-end tab
Hello Shaon,
An hyperlink with Download here does not work.
Also, how can we change the location of the files when we upload them in the wordpress environment? Or do we need to use the url after uploading via FTP?
Can you help with all above please?
I will send over a customization request by e-mail as well.
Thank you,
Vincent

Hi there- I’m hoping to extend some functionality here in the basic file list and provide a direct link to “View” the file (in the case of PDFs, so the browser PDFViewer can simply open the doc) in addition to the download button. Where in the $files object/array is the pure URL to the file? I’ve found the full file list in the object but for some reason cannot seem to find the index that is used to hit a specific file.
Any help would be appreciated!
You can do that in two ways.
1. You can use http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/crypton/ theme. Its home page is designed like your desired home page.
2. You can use http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-extended-short-codes/ add-on. You have to use 3 short-code in this regard. To add slider use [wpdm_slider ids="package,ids,separated,by,comma"] short-code. For popular downloads use following shortcode [wpdm_packages link_template="link-template-panel" order_by="download_count" order="desc" paging="0" items_per_page="10" cols=1 colsphone=1 colspad=1 title="Most Downloaded Packages" desc=""] and for new downloads use [wpdm_packages link_template="link-template-panel" order_by="date" order="desc" paging="0" items_per_page="10" cols=1 colsphone=1 colspad=1 title="New Packages" desc=""] shortcode. You can install http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ add-on to generate short-code.
Hi. Thanks for that great plugin. Unfortunately I don’t get password protection working. I made new packages with allow access: blank ( I also tested Subscribers, Admin), but the file is accessible without login. Can you please check where the problem is? I purchased the latest version of WPDM Pro (Special Pack). Thanks

Click on that link and you will get a page with the download button:
Our managers want them to click on the file link. not the page that links to the file.
if your link template doesn’t have [icon] tag, you will not see icon. Full docs: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/
However, please update to v4.2.2 ASAP.
#1. please give me your URL to check
#2. Using download link in same page only will be possible if all packages under accordion are public and that also will require to edit code in accordion add-on. Need to edit file wp-content/plugins/wpdm-accordion/wpdm-accordion.php
#3. It may work, but we didn’t test it yet.
#5. Sorry no.
#6. The text is coming from a free add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-extended-short-codes/ , but it is not an ad, it is just a placeholder text, if you activate bootstrap from wpdm settings it will be gone.
I add this tag in Page Template but it is not working my page template code is `<div class=”row”>
<div class=”col-md-7″>
[description]
<br />
[file_list]
[audio_player]<br>
</div>
<div class=”col-md-5″>
<table class=”table”>
<tbody>
<tr><td>Download</td><td>[download_count]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Category</td><td>[categories]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Size</td><td>[file_size]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Total Files</td><td>[file_count]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Create Date</td><td>[create_date]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Last Updated</td><td>[update_date]</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class=”wpdm-download-button”>
[download_link_extended] <br>
[similar_downloads]

Shaon, thanks for the reply. The thing is I only selected one (1) file from the Google Drive, but it seems like it replicated itself 9 times and created a ZIP file. I only selected one file, and expected one file to be the download link…
Hello there, might be set up, but everytime I select a single document from a linked Google Drive, Download Manager attaches 9-12 attachments in a ZIP file that eventually does not open.
Here is an example
http://sanramonshops.com/member/download/test-document/
On a side note, is there a way you can help make this page responsive ?
Thank yoU!
When outputting multiple download buttons through <?php $package = wpdm_get_package($post->ID); echo $package['download_link']; ?>, success/error messages always show up on the first button instance only.
It would appear the Javascript that outputs the messages apply to the div’s first instance, not the div relative to the form.
Can anyone verify?
HI there,
Following an update my file downloads are no longer working. The files that are on the system before the upgrade are fine but the shortcodes don’t work any more. Usually, you click on the link and you can download the PDF. Now you click on the link and it’s redirecting to Downloadmanager files and notepad.
Could you please let me know how to resolve this? I attach a screenshot which might explain what’s going on.
Thanks
Yes, you need to create a link template without [page_link] tag. You may use following code too:
<div class="media">
<a class="pull-left" href="[page_url]">
[icon]
</a>
<div class="media-body">
<h4 class="media-heading" style="padding-top: 0px;border:0px;margin: 0px;">[title]</h4>
[download_link] <i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="icon icon-th-large"></i> [file_size] <i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="icon icon-download-alt"></i> [download_count] downloads
</div>
</div>
Anyhow here is the docs: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/

Hi,
I am trying to use a custom download button i designed. Each time I upload it, it shows as a broken image. after i save and refresh image I don’t even see the broken image in the list.
I uploaded it once and assigned it straight away to the link and page template then saved. when i opened the post where the link shows, i found a broken image where the button is supposed to appear. i have no problems uploading files to my WordPress.
please advise why the plugin is doing so.
cheers.

1. image #2 is missing.
2. You have to modify download-manager->templates->link-template-default.php. You can remove unnecessary options from the file.
Thanks.
@emmaxson, not possible for now, as dropbox expires direct download link after 4 hours. Anyhow we are working on a core api add-ons, which will have direct download option.
no, first user will see the order ID and when they click on order ID, they will see order details with download link of purchased items.
no, but user will see the period as a message instead of download link when they don’t have access to download ( before and after time )
Hi,
I just purchased the PRO version.
I made 2 packages. one for a file already on the server, using the “browse” option, with Arabic (utf-8) file name.
The second was a direct upload from my computer, with English file name.
Both have the same problem.
when i click on the “Download” button, i get a page full of corrupted code, whether i click on the download button in the link template or the page template.
when i try to “right click + save link as” on the button, i don;t get a download link.
please find below links to the posts i inserted the packages in.
also, please find attached screenshots of what i see when i click on the download button:
Please note that I do NOT have caching services active, to ensure that the files are served fresh, for testing purposes.
Please note that i tried this on TWO themes, Avada Child and WP Twenty Fifteen, and both give the same result.
Also, i tried with both Bootstrap active and disabled, both gave the same results.
Can you please advise what shall i do?
