I tried version 4, could not get to work at all. The import from free plugin not functional. Doesn’t assign categories and so on. Numerous other bugs, too many to report. I changed to version 3, and had more issues. Though not so many as version 4. Now have reverted to free version after trying several hours without any success. Here are the issues so far:
1. Bug in email signup
If you enter invalid email address, this appears:
{“error”:”Invalid Email Address!”,”downloadurl”:””}
2. How to remove promo message from Twitter signup page when twitter user not signed in?:
“Don’t miss any updates from A H M Shahnur Alam. Get your account today to stay up-to-date with your interests!”
3. Not possible to use “icon only” format. So pro version incompatible with free one – I would need change all my page layouts.
[download_link] cannot be used to create template because not a simple link, and therefore not workable into any of the templates
4. Pages/popups keeps displaying the text “[wpdm_reviews]”.
From a user point of view, I prefer the format of free plugin, it seems much more stable and user friendly. Neither version compatible with free plugin because can’t show icon only and link, and that means I would need to modify all of my pages/layouts for these complicated boxes to display properly, which I don’t want in any case.
Hi,
I noticed two problems with the pagination in 4.0 RC1 which you may have fixed already.
Line 69: the total should be wrapped in the ceil() function to catch every page.
Line 83: the . before paginate_links should be a comma.
Looking forward to RC2.
Merry Christmas!
to translate “downloads” you simply need to create new link/page template from Admin Menu Downloads Templates section.
Hi Shaon.
I have moved to 4.0.0. What I have to do to translate “downloads” of downladcounter?
It doesn’t appear al translatable strings from wpml.
Thanks
in order details page there are 3 items, if you use right most download button, it will download all 3, so you need to unzip first, better is using individual download link next to each item then install
create a link template with only tag [download_count] and use [wpdm_package id=xx tmeplate=the-template-id] .
Everything works great, I can load the package and the email lock works as expected, the user can even fill out their name and email and they will receive an email with a working download link.
The problem is after the user fills out their name and email and then clicks ‘submit’ another little screen pops up and I do not know how to style it or edit text that should be in it. It would be great if it said success check your email for a download link or something. Where or how can I do that? Thank you very much.
Inspecting the element it says it is the ‘alert success’

Shanon, as far as the issue with the custom login form is concerned, please understand that I put the short code [loginform] in the required login Message form field on the settings page. Here is what this does: http://www.jacksonsteiner.com/insights-analysis/basics-of-private-investment-fund-formation/
The login shows on the page, but it’s not a link
Shaon, here is a screenshot of the blacked out Facebook Lock. I cannot provide a link because I had to disable the lock again because it’s a life site. If this is a know issue, maybe you can send me a link to the post that resolved it, rather than asking me to search 95 pages of forum entries without knowing what I am looking for.
Thanks.
You’re talking about a direct hotlink. You can get this link by viewing your package, then right-click on the “download” button/link and select “copy link location”. This will give you a direct access link to the file you can email to people, etc.
It would be nice if the developers changed WPDM so this link displayed under the “edit download package” page so you didn’t have to go through these extra steps just to get the hot-link.
This hook : add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpdm_downloadable’… is the problem, because it changes the content for all calls of the_content().
Same problem with the links in the function wpdm_canonical_url (download-manager\modules\canonical_url.php)
You must verify the post type
if ( ‘wpdmpro’ == $post->post_type )
{…
Is the [wpdm_package id=xx] the only shortcode usable inside pages?
What I’ve to do to have, as result of a shortcode in a page, only the download counter for a package without any link to the download?
Thanks
ok that error is when I use the link to the category page in the category area of download manager.
When I embed in page with shortcode both work
[wpdm_category id=bulletin item_per_page=10]
[wpdm_category id="bulletin," item_per_page=10 template="link-template-default.php"]
Can I get the download category pages to work again that is the question.
Hi,
I have an incompatibility with the plugin bns-featured-category which displays the recent posts of a specific category.
As you can see at http://www.adapei01.asso.fr/download/revue-fevrier-2013/, in the widget (‘Articles récents’ = ‘Recent posts’), the post description and the permanent link are not those of the post but are those of the package.
Thank you

In October I sent my details to the support emailaddress. For my first package the problem got solved. I’ve uploaded a second package and the same problem occurs: nothing happens when I try to download with email lock enabled. I know nothing about ‘theme functions messing with inline js code’ but would like to know how to solve this. Link to new package: http://www.pinball-magazine.com/?wpdmpro=wpdmpro&download=follow-up-interview-dave-peterson-stern-pinball
Great Shaon!
And only one more question: how can I translate the strings in WPML? I need to translate [download_link] and [download_count] !
Thanks
hello my friend, i downloaded and installed the pro version of script, great script, anyways it took care of the overlapping trouble i was having on the free script, thanx allot
it is in a secured area, i can set you up a temp password, can i get your email please, not want to put it here
Shaon, I have to be honest with you, but I am really getting annoying with your support, where you just keep throwing half a sentence at me that doesn’t solve anything. I have inserted your short code in the “Login Required Message” form field on the settings page – and it does nothing! I cannot even click on it. Is this supposed to be a link?
Moreover, using your Facebook and Twitter Lock just triggers a blacked out window, where the actual message to “tweet” or “Like” on Facebook seems to be hidden behind. I have attached a screenshot for your information.
I have been trying to work with your plugin for weeks now, but it’s still not doing what you advertise on your website. Can you maybe try a little harder to help me resolve this problem; so I can finally use your plugin as intended?
I would appreciate it.
Thank you!
Karl
please give me your url to check
use like:
<a href="[download_url]">[title]</a>
Thanks Shaon,
but if I use [download_url] I don’t have the title!
user [download_url] tag instead of [page_url] , but it only will work with public download
Hi!
I need to modify link-template-default-icon.php
I want to have the media-heading in h4, but I want that the link goes to download-link instead of page-link.
I suppose that I have to modify the shortcode [page_link], but I don’t know how can I do that.
Any help, please?
[icon]
[page_link] I want to replace page_link with download_link, but I need to preserve h4 title
[download_link] [file_size] [download_count]
I do not have the email templates at all in any of the menus. I see downloads. there is a template section there for links and pages, but not for emails. Also there is no email menu. I have only Manage packages, add new, buik import, categories, templates, subscribers, stats, and settings.
Please help.
