After being told 3.3.8 is no longer supported, I thought I would have another go and looking at 4, on our development server… What a disaster.
Primarily we only use wpdm_category short code, to list downloads using a custom link template and then a custom page template.
I followed the upgrade notes in the thread at the top of this forum.
1. Only the top it appears in the categories interface only the top level categories are listed after the migration, subcategories are not listed.
2. The categories contents i.e. the packages associated to the categories have all been lost, So it appears I have to edit every package to reallocate them to the appropriate categories.
4. The link templates need to be reapplied.
5. The all link templates styling has all been lost / different from 3.3.8
6. Our custom link templates no longer display correctly.
Basically it appears the Style in version 4 is completely different to 3.3.8, I see at a class style w3eden everywhere where as in the past it was wpdm-pro
Is there a quick way to reinstate the old styling?.
I´m running an aritst website.
Each artist has its own download Kit.
The portfolio site of the artist has one sidebar.
Under “Widgets” of wordpress backend, I add all
download kits to that one sidebar. 20 kits total.
With widget logic, I want to select, what download kit
will be displayed for the individual artist.
Right now you can see it displays all kits. Thats because
widget logic doesnt filter it.
Whenever I put the filter code to the widget, that widget
doesnt show up at all, instead the other way around.
It also doesnt appear on any other artist portfolio.
I´m using a slide out sidebar. I´ll attached the slide
for you to test.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Tom
I cloned “With MP3 Preview” Link and only removed the downloads portion.
with [audio_player_single] I get no preview.
with [audio_player] I get Error loading: “undefined”.
Thoughts?
need customization in code.
select the template you want to use, edit instruction mentioned in that page.
I see the following error:
which means zlib is not installed or not working properly, please contact your server/hosting support to check zlib or reinstall zlib.
# no such option for [wpdm_my_downloads]
# hide everything is for package details page and when you are using category short-code. the [wpdm-all-packages] will block only package download link.
you can change email template from admin menu downloads subscribers email template tab.
You can change the wording from functions.php
I would like to show an icon that changes dependent on the current access level in the link template.
You have some similar working in the wpdm-all-packages short code, whether download icon changes if the user needs to login or still does not have the correct access.
Basically I want to indicate to the user that the item is a secured item before they attempts to download it
I only see two template options, how do I customize and add my own logo to the top?
I do not want any advertisement of download manager in this email… I only see two template options and neither let me customize them
you can do that from Admin Menu Downloads Subscribers Email Template Tab
Thank You Shaon!
Works great!
I have one more problem coming up.
I want to show the download packages in a sidebar, but
it wont work with widget logic.
I tried every good rated widget logic plugin and now I left
Display Widgets activated.
Do you have any Idea, why it wont work?
If you have a minute and could have a look, you would help me a lot again!

Still not able to figure out this issue. Thanx
When I do a test the email that I get has Download Manager Pro in the header, I want to customize the email so that it is branded for my business
Also, how do I update the ‘subscribe to download’ wording? Is that possible?

for locked packages, if you use [download_link], it will show the download button and when someone clicks on download button, will see the lock options in a popover, but in case of [download_link_extended] all options will be embedded in page. BTW, many thousands of users using wpdm pro.
The documentation for this plugin is lacking. [download_link_extended] doesn’t do anything, or you haven’t clearly stated how to use it. Can you clear this up please?
you can show the form even with [wpdm_package id="package-id"], please create a link template with template tag [download_link_extended] and apply the link template for the package. then you will see the form embedded in page.
tested and looks like working fine

When I set a download access level, it shows a red circle and cross symbol and says “please login to access downloadables” …the text links to the login page.
How can I change the text and have it link to the member sign up instead, thanks
#2) you don’t need to use that short-code, simply use [wpdm_package id="package-id"] , if form lock applied for that package, then visitor need to fill form before download. and your can use the same add-on #1 to generate the short-code.
Hi Shaon,
Thank you for fast response. 🙂
#1:
The add-on (http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/) solved my first questions.
#2:
I use this shortcode ([wpdm-form id=275 download=292]) to add the form in my page. So the form shows my page. After people fill in the form, they can see download link.
Many thanks

I surely care about old members, but you should understand it is never possible to provide life time support and update for a single price and you also will be get such option anywhere, it is very common standard 1 year update and support after purchase. We mentioned everything clearing on terms and conditions http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/terms-and-conditions/ , see the link at footer. and many many thousands of all other pro users never complained about it.
🙂 sorry I missed, I directly typed here.
that is not possible still now, but adding a new action hook wpdm_before_email_download_link with v4.1.0 , then you will be able to do that
