Those are not button image, they are individual link template, you need to install this add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-button-templates/ and use short-code [wpdm_button_template id=package-id style="style-name" align="alignment"] in your page or post.
“However the post itself contains social links at the bottom” <--- this is either coming from another plugin or active theme, you need to disabled those from that plugin or theme settings for download manager packages.
I’ve pinpointed the problem with the file downolads and this is that the a href in the link label is no longer working. I tested this by removing the link label in one download package and it downloaded fine from the DM manager. But the fiels need to be served from the S2member plugin so I can’t use the download manager for this. And it would take days to change every package to remove the link even if I wanted to go down that route.
So apart from the wpdm_tree shortcode not working, the link label is also not working for an a href link.
In addition to my post above – the [wpdm_tree category=””] is not working either and only shows all categories including those outwith the specified category but never gets to the file download level.
As for the downloads themselves I’ve been using the format Download in the LINK_LABEL field
and in the FILES field I’m using the format – /home/jefford2/public_html/btbclient/wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/acquiring commercial property.pdf
All 3,000+ files were uploaded using the bulk upload (which also has problems displaying user added icons in the download manager interface although these do show up on the site).
Having updated all the documents recently I just overwrote the files already stored in the S2member_files folder. All are the correct filenames and extensions etc. so no different from original files and since I have previously overwritten files in this way without problems I don’t think this is an issue.
Login info is not working, however short-code [slideshare id=32615157&doc=drvalya-140322141806-phpapp02] may not working in wpdm desc, but your can use the embed code directly.
hi, I’m new here so not sure I have this down yet. I created a download package, which was easy enough to do. However the post itself contains social links at the bottom, as well as blog postings from my site. How do I remove this information from my download post? thanks
Can you help me detailed instructions please.
I think you have too many members want this like me, because i have more than 20k post with download link 🙁
Thanks! I got the latest download with this shortcode [wpdm_packages template="link-template-button" order_by="modified" order="desc" paging="0" items_per_page="1" title="" desc="" cols=1 colsphone=1 colspad=1]
However is it possible to customise the link label in the shortcode? Separate to the Package settings. I also tried the WPDM Image Button add-on, but it changes the download link globally, where I only need it specific to one shortcode.
1. I can not add a slideshare link in the download “URL attach file”. When I add a slideshare link the wp download manger post just ignores it and doesn’t accept it. Slideshare link I’m trying to insert into the URL attach file: http://www.slideshare.net/upenderus/osteoporosis-prevention-management
2. I can not add the slideshare wordpress shortcode into the description area. The wp download manager post ignores it. Slideshare shortcode I’m trying to insert in description area [slideshare id=32615157&doc=drvalya-140322141806-phpapp02]
Does anyone else have this issue?
How do I fix it?
How do you add links to slideshare videos or add slideshare videos to the download library?
Thanks.
—– Yes, you can, simply edit email template from Admin Menu Downloads Subscribers Email Template Tab , remove [download_url] with “Download Here” text and link it with [download_url] tag .
— Yes, it still will send email. Otherwise need to edit code
Thank you for your quick reply Shaon. It does not cover my complete question yet though.
– How do I make an hyperlink of [download_url] so that I can use the shortcode [download_url], which will automatically inputs the url, but hides it like “Download here” <– That will of course not work?
– With the “Download Instantly” it is still sending the e-mail. Can we have them to register their name + e-mail for the download, but without us sending an e-mail with the link.
– Have you got more information about this last question?
– When sending the email, we don’t want to show the complete url as done with [download_url]. Is it possible to make “download_url” appearing as a hyperlink? For example an underlined “Click here” with the download_url hidden in that link of course.
— Yes, you can, simply edit email template from Admin Menu Downloads Subscribers Email Template Tab
– Is it possible to download immediately, without sending an e-mail? We would like this option for some of the downloads, but still include the e-mail lock.
— Yes, you can, while selecting email lock, there you also have another option to select “Download Instantly”
– Is it possible to add more required fields to the subscriber form? “company” / “function” ?
Could you please update me when you finally expect this to be fixed? You promised that in the next version it will be… and it is not 🙁
As said I can use the LinkedIn Share within my website without any problems. What is the real issue not being able to fix this for WP Download Manager Pro?
As said, one of my preference chosing this product was the LinkedIn Lock functionality, which is now months not working 🙁
Our downloads aren’t working – they are all on email lock, but when a user enters their email address it just freezes saying “processing” and emails with the download link are NOT sent.
We only want to use a couple of simple functions, without too much other hassle:
– Download documents
– When user clicks to download, pop-up for the e-mail lock
– Download link is send to users e-mail
It’s all possible and working, but we like to change the following:
– When sending the email, we don’t want to show the complete url as done with [download_url]. Is it possible to make “download_url” appearing as a hyperlink? For example an underlined “Click here” with the download_url hidden in that link of course.
– Is it possible to download immediately, without sending an e-mail? We would like this option for some of the downloads, but still include the e-mail lock.
– Is it possible to add more required fields to the subscriber form? “company” / “function” ?
Whats the best way to get the download link of the latest file in a category? I also want to have the link text as ‘latest newsletter’, ‘not download’.
Please look at my list. We are going round in circles avoiding problems.
RE: 500. Yes, but it should have a suitable error message. There are so many things they are not allowed to do.
With so many other bugs they are going crazy trying to get anything working.
We can’t login users when we use shortcodes in descriptions and allocated to admin.
No suitable error messages for anything so we can’t work out what is going on.
RE: tinymce button. we are giving up on everything to do with categories ( its complete nightmare , except the insert link.
I have the defaults plugin but they still have to scroll down every time to chose a new template on the shortcode.
Eamils are sending when we don’t want them too.
Download expiry not working in membership area .. I could go on.
Please install wpdm-archive-page.zip from your all add-ons pack. Then use short-code:
[wpdm-archive link_template=”link-template-id-here” button_style=”success” items_per_page=9]
You also can use this add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ to generate short-code.
