I have the latest version of WPDM and Custom Access Level installed (purchased today), as well as Groups and Groups File Access by ITTHINX. The latter is in use currently and I would like to replace it with WPDM – if I can get it working.
So far, Bulk Import isn’t working for me. Specify a directory, it correctly lists the files, update and select them all, and they appear to be imported correctly. But then the full file path isn’t prefixed to the attached file of each package, resulting in the “file-not-found.txt” file being presented instead. (Screenshot shows before and after manually adding file and how it should look)
Secondly, unless each Package Allow Access section is specifically edited to add “All Visitors” the download link is blocked and therefore this and also the Access Restrictions at the top of each package (or bulk edited through the list of All Packages) are not being honoured. (Screenshot shows Allow Access and Access Restrictions sections)
The master_trainer_esmoe and master_trainer_chc groups exist in Groups.
Please assist – currently WPDM is unusable in the current state.
HI,
We have created a package. We are using the custom access level add on.
We have created a page with the [wpdm_my_downloads] shortcode and when logged in we see the package file in the table.
But when we click the link to the package it goes to a blank page. We would like the link to just download the file instantly when clicked.
Also does the accordion add on work with the custom access level plugin? so could we set the access level in the package but display the users files in the accordion view?
Thanks
My main downloads page works with my template and shows correctly my right sidebar widgets.
But when you click the link to be taken to the details page it shows different sidebar widgets I don’t even use.
Yes I can edit each package in the ‘Package Settings’ but there should be a way to modify the template it is pulling from.
There should be a way to mass update packages that have already been created and published.
How can I change or edit the package details page? How can I mass update the package details page to reflect the correct side bars? Where is the package details page template located in the WPDM software?
Thanks you Shaon
We have just upgraded to the latest version of Download Manager Pro. We also did the V3 to V4 migration. We installed the extended short code plugin when we were using V3, and we are using the [wpdm_tree] shortcode on our downloads page (http://www.akacosnulting.com/support/cmdownloads/). Everything looks okay, but when you click on one of the packages, there’s no link to the package’s page. The user just stays on the downloads page. I’m not sure what I have failed to do to get this working. Any ideas? We can create an FTP account for you, if required.
Thank you for any help you can give us!
Hi,
In debugging some issues with a site, I have restored the site to a new URL / subfolder
Will changing the URL from http://www.sitename.com/site1 to http://www.sitename.com/site2 invalidate the license ?
After renaming the site to …/site2 I can see existing uplaoded files howvere when I upload a new file, it appears when displaying via shortcode, but when clicking on the link, it attempts to download a file file-not-found.txt ? Might this be a license related issue from the move ?
I will add my license key in a private message incase it needs to be unlocked/reapplied to the new URL
Thanks
Hello,
I have added the “twitter lock” for download, and when i click on it the twitter page opens and it write the message i had already inputed but my message on twitter precedes the full link with at the end “via Webmaniac” why is that and what is web maniac, how to remove it ?
lastly at the bottom of the twitter message there is this:
“Don’t miss any updates from A H M Shahnur Alam. Get your account today to stay up-to-date with your interests” how can this also be removed?
thank you

Hi Shaun,
Will consider the custom option when my client decides he wants that option, but for now I remove the [download link].
I have a dedicated FTP-server especially for the larger files 15Mb+, we use these to hold High resolution PrePress documents.
About dotting the i’s:
When you attach a remote file, it stores the URL in the left field and the File title in the right field.
After initialy saving the package the file title in the right field is gone, i.e. not saved.
if you want to trigger all downloads at a time that will require customization in code and also may increase your server load.
Now you can remove [download_link] tag and activate individual download, so that user can see the list and download files as they want.
“to dot the i’s, can you make the Title to stick as well?” <-- may you please explain it little more.
@Cashflowco, please use [download_link_extended] rather than [download_link] in your link template
Is it also possible to have the tree view files link to download the file straight away rather than going to another page, then downloading?
Hey Shaon,
I am just going through the PRO demo to see if I will be purchasing the premium version…
There is a feature missing that I requested in this thread for the free version:
1. Password protected file popup box – When you have enabled a password on a file and click on the link in the frontend of the site, a box pops up with field to enter the password. After the entering the password successfully a download button appears and by clicking on it everything works fine. However, the issue is that after successfully downloading the file, the popup remains on the page and there is no way to disable it. Is is possible to automatically disable this box after the download completes or just put a X somewhere on the popup allowing manual closing? See attached screenshot for what I mean.
2. Similar to the above, it would be handy to have an X in the corner of the pop up box at all times… for example, someone may click the download button by mistake and want to have an obvious way of closing the box down…
Could you add a X in the corner of the popup box on the pro version?
Finally, there is a pretty major feature missing for a premium product in my opinion. There is no shortcode button/generator in the WordPress post/page editor. So you have go to your documentation page to find out how to construct the shortcodes you want to use – for example, a download table with only one specific category.
Are you planning to introduce a short code builder of some sort which makes it much easier for novices at WordPress to make use of your plugin?
Thanks
That’s what I suggested… don’t zip ‘m but download all items in the packet simultaneously or consecutively when clicking Download Packet. This would suit me even better because the files I link through FTP are very large.
Now the “Download Packet” works a bit weird, it downloads only files that are locally… and there is no way I can show a user that some items are not included in the transfer when downloading the packet.
Regarding the title: to dot the i’s, can you make the Title to stick as well? It imports the filename in the title correctly, but after a save of the package the title is empty.
Wow Shaun, that’s fast. You’re a champ! .. to dot the i’s, can you make the Title to stick as well?
I’m realy stoked! That works fabulously.
I understand correctly that when downloading the bundle the zip does not include the remote-ftp files? (so i should make a note to the client regarding this)
Is there a way to add a special class to download links of remote ftp-files? So I can style them differently for the user (and add a note, that they have to download them separately)
hi,
The download links are not downloading the PDF files, instead, it is going to the page ID URL.
http://presbyterianmissions.org/serve/active-foreign-fields/the-leamans/
The PDFs are uploaded in the different packages I created.
Is there something not set right?
thanks,
eric
if you meant the options for archive page add-on, options are explained here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/ . But columns for packages will depends on selected link template, if you wrap your link template with a class col-md-4 it will be 3 cols, col-md-3 for 4 cols, col-md-6 for 2 cols
But if you meant the category archive page options are explained here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/#category
Yes. But for protected download use tag [download_link], [download_url] tag generates direct url for download and which is only applicable for unprotected downloads.
I found the problem…
Thanks Shaon for your response
Thanks FlowID because I thought I was the only one with this problem…
Shaon:
The [wpdm-all-packages] shortcode (with jstable=1 parameter) do not use the jquery.datatables.js stored in the js folder of your plugin. It uses the one stored in cdn.datatables.net…
Look wpdm-all-downloads.php, lines 6 and 7
I have changed these lines with the following:
<script src=”//MYDOMAIN/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js”></script>
<link href=”//MYDOMAIN/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/css/jquery.dataTables.css” rel=”stylesheet” />
See that I use jquery.dataTables.min.js instead of jquery.dataTables.js because it loads very faster…
Of course: jquery.dataTables.min.js or jquery.dataTables.js must be translated…
How can I change the string “//MYDOMAIN/wp-content/plugins/download-manager” with a generic one????
I have tried the solution tha you mention in
http://www.datatables.net/examples/basic_init/language.html
with no result… I am doing something wrong:
in wpdm-all-downloads.php, line 31, I add the “language” parameter (between lines 31 and 32) as explained in this web… no result…
Thanks

#1. Easy, simply need to remove [thumb_WxH] tag from link/page template or create new link/page template, more details explained here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/ . Anyhow showing twice because one is coming from your theme and another from wpdm page template.
#2. use link template panel for archive page and for image button use this add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-image-button/
Thanks for all your help I have what I need now. This is what I did.
I changed my categories link template to “link-template-audio” this doesn’t have the download link (zip file)
I also cloned your page template “Single Column, Flat” and just removed the [download] section to remove the download link (zip file) from the page.
I am good to go now.
All those are totally depends on link/page template, if you replace [page_link] with [title] link to details page will be removed. And if you remove [file_list] or disable individual download, then user will not be able to download individual file.
