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.

I installed the entire premium package, but the plugin is not working correctly. I have a downloads page setup using Archive, the category buttons show but are out of line, and the drop down for sub-categories also doesnt work. None of my downloads show up either. Ive also tried viewing the downloads via direct link and i get a blank page. I tried reinstalling the plugins. Any ideas?
Hello,
Thanks for this suggestion.
Do you think there may be a way to have the neat popup effect of [download_link], rather than the [download_link_extended] display with credentials, that I don’t like much?
Do you have any idea how I could go about solving js conflicts you mentioned ? Any advice to go about it.
Thanks.
it was because “Block Hotlink” was enabled, when the add-on is enabled, you can’t use direct link or link download directly from external site.

I’m then having trouble getting the download links to appear from the [file_list] tag. See my first screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/bp9OZnxrs
Thanks for you help on this btw. We’re going to be using this plugin a lot!
the feature still experimental and released with limited option. Need to activate “Individual File Download” for document preview. It is not a bug. If you use [file_list]
tag with link/page template, when “Individual File Download” activate, you will see download button next to each file title.

I have been reviewing the addon and think I have figured it out. I have setup the page template as I would like it to appear. I do have a question about the process…
When I put the short link into a page, it does not display the page template I have setup. It simply displays a regular download link where the item can be downloaded – but without paying. I am guessing the way around this is to set up the shop page to link to the individual items so the cart shows up and works. Unless you have a different approach, I can work with that.
However, the my-shop page doesn’t seem to be working correctly. First the code – [wpdm-pp-frontend] – views when you view the page (which doesn’t happen on the other pages) and the continue shopping link on the cart does not link to the my-shop page, even though I have changed that setting. The code also views on the checkout page. But I have gone through the checkout process and it seems to be working fine.
The cart and my order page seem to be working properly, but I cannot figure out why the my-shop page isn’t.
Can you please look at it again?
Thanks, I am attaching a screen short of download box. Please fix the following issues:
1. The stats of linkdin is showing under its icon.
2. After using the twitter it turns in to a download button that really looks ugly.
3. Please arrange the social icons. Pinterest icon is on twitter button.
4. Please arrange these social icons equal distantly.
Ok, that is that i’ve do. But no changes… i still have the “Download” link that downloads a blank .zip file
1) sorry for that, but there was no other way 🙁
2) sometime category assignment fails for taxonomy slug change, need to apply manually using quick edit option, again sorry for that.
3) I can help you to set same link template for all package editing some code, also you can use this add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ to generate short-code and while inserting short-code, you also can select link template to apply for that package.
4) [download_link] should work perfectly, please give me an URL where you got it not working.
Hello,
Just upgraded to PRO and got things working on the back end (thanks Shaon).
I dropped my shortcode in to display all packages, but it appears styling isn’t being applied (screenshot attached)
The site isn’t public yet, otherwise I’d give you a direct link.
NOTE: The downloads included an EXPO theme? Is that required? Where does it get uploaded to?
Thanks
