Topic: One file is suddenly "empty"
I got a report from a user that this file, after download and attempt to open, displays a message “cannot open this file because it is empty”. I have encountered the same issue (Mac, Chrome, Firefox). Indeed, the file that I download from the link is zero bytes.
http://beta.nrocnetwork.org/resources/courses/nroc-english/
When I download the file via SFTP and open it, it’s just fine. I’ve checked other PDFs that are available for download, and so far they have worked fine too.
I removed this file from the system and re-uploaded it. Still it’s coming up “empty” when downloaded. As you can see in the screenshot, the file on the server is ~188KB, so it’s not empty. But something in the process of downloading it is breaking it.
I added another file to the package to create a zip, and even the zip is coming up empty (zero bytes) on download. When I open the zip, I get one of those impossible loops — it becomes a .cpgz file that can only be unzipped, etc (screenshot attached). I know you are familiar with this issue.
This makes me really nervous, because we can’t afford to have files suddenly go bad like this. We have no idea when it “went bad”. We only found out because someone was kind enough to tell us. How many other times did someone try to download this broken file and they just went away without the information they wanted, and didn’t tell us? We’ll never know.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time this has happened. I need to know that WPDM is reliable and isn’t going to break file downloads without warning.
I hope you can help — not only to fix this file, but also to fix whatever is wrong with the plugin, or discern what is wrong with my server or setup, or the file itself, that would cause this so I can fix it.
I will provide access information in a private post.
Topic: Custom CSS for Email Lock
I asked this question in another thread but I thought it would be better to pursue it further in a new topic.
As I mentioned before I want customize the Email lock variable [download_link_extended] using CSS.
I need to edit the “Subscribe to download” title, the green color of the “Download” button, the placement of the button, and the grey background color.
@shahriar Where can I find the existing CSS classes you use so that I can customize it according to my needs?
@shaon Re: Email lock widget – Thank you!Hi, I’m trying to add Download Manager to an existing site.
I currently have download buttons appearing in a side bar on the right of my page. These are added by including the links in ‘Custom fields’ section of the page.
When I replace the links with the Shortcode for Download Manager, it only displays the shortcode. Is there any way to get the custom fields to render the shortcode to get the Download Manager functionality?Thanks,
Dave
Topic: 404 Not Found
Hi!
My download links give a 404 error, the file route does not work because it creates a folder called “download”, the download link works correctly when changing the route, but I do not know how to edit it. Thanks for your help.
Hello,
I have found unwanted page being indexed by Google while using your plugin. The page contains this parameter “/?wpdmtask=get_downloads&pg=&search=”.
I have referred the sites using your plugin and found the same on every site. Even there was a comment on directory addon plugin page (https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/#comment-2413) from 2016 and it looks like a common problem.
The con of this page is we have no control over it. We cannot add noindex tag or any such SEO meta tags. The page is not mobile friendly and looks ugly with no styles at all.
Please fix this issue, as it reveals a lot of information about downloads. There is no use of hotlink plugin if this page is indexed by Google as this page provides direct links to the downloads.
Topic: Download Link is Expired
Hello
some of my clients want to download my PDF file (19.5M)
but what they download is a txt file. content inside is: Download Link is Expired. Please get New Download link.
why this happen. i do not want this happen how can i do?Hello,
I am creating a custom template. I have started by cloning another template. I have the template how I want it to look but need help making sure that functions are correct (as I just copy and pasted from a demo page on my site).
I have attached an image of my preview as well as the code for that preview.
My questions:
What are the functions that I need to call out for the password and download form in order to offer an instant download (open link to box.com) after the user enters the correct password?Also: is there anywhere where we can see the CSS for the base elements? I see that this template is referencing different classes but how I can find out what is defined for those classes? I’d like to change a few colors as well.
Thanks for the help!
Hi Admin,
Is it possible that the tableview change the “Download link” and “Title link” to a specific page?

Topic: download button parameters
So i’ve just checked google and some of the links looks like this:
http://playernotes.pl/?wpdmtask=get_downloads&pg=3415&search=&cp=16
– those are not static pages or anything, but google indexing those, so it’s rather a mentionable kind of problem. How can i deal with those?
