Got it. I’ll be watching for the auto-update feature, that seems the norm for 98% of the WP plugins I’ve ever installed. If the WPDM plugins are not updated normally, what is the method? I understand I need to download the new version. Do I then just install it as if the existing plugin wasn’t there? Will it keep all of my configuration settings? Do I have to manually deactivate or reactivate anything during the process? Is there a page on the WPDM site that explains any of this? The link in my WP site just goes to the purchase page.
that will require good amount of customization in plugin too. In plugin need to add a new option to upload/select file/url to link with 2nd download button
What is the shortcode you use in the page to match your archive 2 (http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/style-2/) style and functionality including the ajax loading of files when you select a category?
i cant add it in post editor.i dont want to use it for download, i want to have the option to add just a link example. mysite.com/how-to-install-the-game
@Emmaxson, dropbox add-on direct link only stay valid for 4 hours, so why I need to change it to preview link. So direct play will not work for dropbox files, however we are working with core api and an advanced version of add-on will be available soon.
@maldboy88, you need to add the message in download manager settings page login required message option
in front-end added but its the same link as it was on the first.how can i add and in the front-back to add on the second button another link,not link for download,just link to go in another post.when i create package to add there 1 link
please tell
Right, if anyone else struggles with the S3 side of this I recommend the link below. I found the majority of documentation concerned with setting up S3 buckets isn’t actually relevant to creating download packages. It’s not actually difficult when you know how but it took me a while being new to AWS. If you agree with the process in the link, especially the bit about altering metadata of files in bucket, perhaps you could refer to them in your S3 setup documentation. Would have saved me days.
I need to do the same button with download count.
In first post i make button with download link
Ity is possible to make the same button for download count ?
from admin panel it just unlink file from package, it doesn’t delete file from server as same file can be linked with multiple package. However you can use this add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/file-manager/ for deleting file directly from admin panel.
For Drop-down issue, disable bootstrap js from wpdm settings, and the layout issue is from link template, you need to create a new link template. More details about templates http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/
I just activated the dropbox plugin but I noticed that when the download button is clicked, it redirects to the dropbox link.
This I think is not secure. How can I do it so that once I click the download button, it downloads immediately?
Thanks for the reply. I’m a bit confused. My initial statement was…
When I started using WPDM, FTP uploading image files to a folder other than the default ‘download-manager-files’ and then using the ‘Bulk Import’ tool to ‘Import Selected Files’, would automatically copy those files to the ‘download-manager-files’ folder and have the proper file format icon linked to them.
Your response was…
You will not have to copy files manually to download-mamager-files dir except there are some dir write permission issue in your server.
I might have mistakenly taken that to mean that what I was proposing, and what I had success with before (use ‘Import Selected Files’ to move files from an initial upload folder to the final folder), was what you were saying should be standard functionality. In fact, what you might have been referring to was the ability to FTP upload files directly into ‘download-manager-files’. To be clear, I DO have that ability. The reason I chose to upload files to a different folder first was because it was difficult/time consuming to scroll through a huge list of files in the ‘download-manager-files’ folder to find the ‘new’ ones to select for ‘Import Selected Files’.
Maybe what you are saying is that the normal procedure should involve using the CSV for the import process. Is there any place that talks in more detail about the CSV import file? After looking at it several times, I’m unclear about what I should be placing in the different fields/columns.
Thanks for your help.
If you think that wp-admin access would still be helpful, let me know and I will ‘private reply’ those credentials.
I don’understand.
What is the relationship between the search module and the category view?
By the way WPDM SEARCH give me the title but not the link to download (see the attachment).
My big problem is the message “Sorry, but there aren’t any posts matching your query” when I click on the voice menu of the file category “Info – moduli – mercato”, in which I have the file “Foglio mercato con svincolo.xls”
You cant test it at http://www.fantacquaviva.it/download-category/info-moduli-mercato/
Hello did this ever come to a resolution other than the keys are wrong which they are not in my case so I assume they are not in downloader’s case either? I have the same issue where I can connect using my IAM keys from the backend to see all buckets and folders because my IAM user has Full Access but the download links will not work unless I make my files public which defeats the purpose of using S3 anyway (at least in my case). It appears the signing of the urls are not getting generating properly from the add-on?
