Hello I got the Hotlink addon and I must say it really bringing me back my traffic and I have saved tons of bandwidth… But when i clicked on those people using my hotlinks, it redirect to a random page on my blog. Is there a way to make the redirection land on the right download package?
Thanks
I just purchased an addon for hotlink protection but I seem not to find the the link to download the package. I emailed you support@wpdownloadmanager.com with a screen shot of the payment confirmation page. Hope you get it fixed for me soon..
Thanks
Is there a security measure for the email capture? We are getting dozens of spam emails from our download links.
How do you search these forums? I wanted to search to see if anyone else had this issue but could not find search box.
please give me a temporary wp-admin login info in a private reply, I’ll create a link template for you.

Hello !

and i tried another theme also same problem comes doesn’t show the link template i choose its appear the style of the post
what should i do to make the specific link template i choose appear .. plz help me :((
Amazon S3 is not beta, you saw that in a post from 2012. it is 2014. download stats only will be tracked for full package download, it you use individual download link , it will not be counted. Anyhow if you still want to increase count for that please give me temporary wp-admin login info to check
you can both link link same package and enable individual download, so at front-end user will see both link and download then separately.
Okay, so I’ve been playing with it.
Added 1 package containing only one file – Test File #1 – this contains one image and it works fine – I put the shortcode on the page and the name of the package shows up with the download icon – it links correctly and I can download it.
The other package contains 2 files – one is an image and the other is a PDF – Test File #2 – the name and icon do not show up – it’s first on the page, just says “download”, then when you click on it, it says “link-expired”
And here’s a link to page where I placed the shortcode:
http://rab-1.com/contractors/ — Just says Download – no link – no button – no package name
This is the shortcode I placed there: [wpdm_package id='3221']
I still can’t get a download to work… I’ve created another package – I can get the image to download but not the pdf…
Here’s a link – Password for pdf is 9999 it just says “file not found” over and over again
http://rab-1.com/download/test-package-2-two-files-client-es-web-design/
I’ve tried changing many different settings, but i can’t make this work?
Hi,
I installed the download manager pro on my site but there is no “Premium Package” option in “DOWNLOAD MANAGER PRO Settings” as shown in plugin demo backend. Link is given below for plugin demo backend:
“http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/marketplace/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpdmpro&page=settings&tab=ppsettings”
and also i did not get any license key with this plugin. Can you please help me so that i make a shop for my files with this plugin.
Hello,
please give me an answer to the problem. I have now a download manager that allow me to create stats and watch the downloads but it do only on the half of the files. All important free downloads are not counted. Free downloads are Amazon S3 downloads.
As I wrote, the packages from S3 and local files are exact the same, expet the linked file. Both packages have one file for download and other settings are the same, include the template to show the shortcode. But in the WDM the S3 files do not get a count.
In an newer post I read that Amazon S3 is Beta. Why you do not give this information on the purchase page? I expect to get well developed and well tested software when purchase.
However, I need a solution for the download counts.
Shaon – I wanted to follow up to see if you have an upgraded plugin. Here are the list of all the problems we are facing for this paid plugin.
Please know that we are launching on Wednesday (tomorrow) and just noticed these problems. We would greatly appreciate any quick help in solving any or all of these issues.
ARCHIVE TEMPLATE
Page template view
# Clicking on the breadcrumb/pathway to go back to the List template view leads to an archive page with a completely different format. The URL ends with /download/ with the subtitle BLOG ARCHIVES instead of the original archive page.
Link template view
# [see attachment] If you are on page 1 and click on “Previous” or on the last page and click on “Next”, the view loads the entire website within WPDM view. It shows the search box followed by the entire website (header + menu + body + footer) for the same view where the archived downloads are supposed to show up. Please modify the archive view so that “Previous” link does not show up when the user is on page 1 and the “next” link does not show up when the user is on the last page of the archive.
# Unlike the category pages, when the user goes from page to page by using the Previous-1-2-3-Next at the bottom, the page does not load and scroll to the top. It stays in the same location. Please keep this functionality consistent. (Low priority)
# Search feature does not work if you use more than one word or spaces after one word.
Category pages
# In the link template view, the “Previous” and “Next” buttons are < and > signs. Please keep this consistent with the archive view.
If there are 2 download links ?
I created two links to download the file. And I want to show that the two separate links through the sourcecode to embed the article?

Why the download count is working on ALL other packages with one file with the same template to show but not on S3 linked one?
What you wrote will not count the other packages with local files, too but it do.
The key is working, downloads are working well, it also uploads 30 MB and then fails back to 975 Kb and counts again to around 30MB, just a loop. It seems there is a problem with big files not with the api key.
hello
when i insert a new file as a download via “upload” it doesn’t go.
(the download-link will go allways to “file-not-found.txt”).
but when i choose “browse” the file will be available…
if i look trough ftp to the server, all files are in the “download-manager-files”-folder.
thank you for your answer…
How long it is valid? This is an important information because in one hour as example, people can download all files.
Do the download count not work with S3? All S3 files I have added have still not one download but i downloaded it from different computer around the world (remote) and the number is not increasing. The local links increase well.
BTW: I was not able to uplaod to S3 with the plugin. It starts regular automatically the upload new. Seems to be a loop.
Thanks so much Shaon – unfortunately I can’t seem to get this to work – was the following what I was supposed to change?
echo "<li class=\"file ext_$ext\"><a href='".wpdm_get_download_link(get_the_ID())."' rel='".wpdm_get_download_link(get_the_ID())."'>".get_the_title()."</a></li>";
I get the attached happening when using this…
However, i’ve had a bit more of a look and have managed to get it working using the following…
echo "<li class=\"file ext_$ext\"><a href='".wpdm_download_url($file)."".(get_the_ID())."' rel='".wpdm_download_url($file)."".(get_the_ID())."'>".get_the_title()."</a></li>";
🙂
#1, #2) only pro version has mutli-file support. WPDM Free v2.7 still in RC and we didn’t adjust some wording yet. We will replace “package” with “file” as it is in wpdm free v2.6 now. sorry for the misunderstanding.
#3) it may happen only if your theme css interface with download button css. if you just want link and icon without any button style, please open /download-manager/templates/link-template-default.php
, remove link-btn [color]
anyhow please let me know if you have any other question.
Plugin: WP DOWNLOAD MANAGER V3.2.6
I cannot add new documents to an existing package.
I select a document using OPEN FILE BROWSER.
I then select UPDATE PACKAGE.
Nothing is updated. I return to the Manage Packages screen, then reopen the same package but the new document is not added.
Also when I Select Link a icon to associate with a file, this does not update either.
My wordpress user is ADMINISTRATOR.
Currently I cannot edit existing packages and have to create new packages in order to update or add documents.
Does anyone have the same problem or can anyone advise how to fix this?
Can I please have some help? I purchased and downloaded the Business Version at $125 and Installed and Uninstalled my License Key.
It Says Invalid Link. I have used it once and now it doesn’t work.

Is it possible to add a PDF previewer in a page template as well as a download link?
For now please open /wp-content/plugins/download-manager/templates/link-template-default.php
, replace [file_size]
with [download_count]
, in later update we will add better option.
generate license key from order details page clicking on license button and apply the key.
https://drupal.org/project/filebrowser is totally different idea then wpdm pro. attach dir option will attache all files and dir inside the selected dir but you can’t apply access restriction per file but you can apply access restriction for complete package. To list all files attached with package at front-end you need to use [file_list] tag with page or link template, more details about templating is here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/
