Also can you make the name, company, title mandatory so they have to fill in?
I have managed to work around it. But have hit a new issue.
I have a webpage with e-mail lock direct download which asks for Name, Company, Title and e-mail address. Once the download has been completed the webpage still says “Verifying” can we change that once download is complete to something else?
Screenshot attached.

Argh, are you telling i’m so stupid? Yes, i’m so stupid π
Plugin removed and direct links working perfectly. Thanks π
yes, you can apply their emails add package password, then mail then the package details page url, after they open the url. they will be asked for password and they will have to enter their email as password, and if their email exists in password list, they will be able to download the file.
I made that edit (10 replacements in that one file) and it still does not seem to work.
Clicking the title of a download shows a URL directing to: SiteURL.com/download7/package_name/ but that actually displays the home page (not a 404 error). The link to download the item shows SiteURL.com/site/?wpdmdl=2 (/site/ is the subdirectory for the WP install) and this does give a 404 error.
I did a grep search for “site_url” through every file of this plugin and found it located in these files:
/modules/canonical-url.php
download-page.php
wpdm.php
/email-templates/wpdm-email-lock-template.html
wpdm-login-form.php
Changing site_url to home_url in just the first file did not work, so I tried changing it in top three files, but that did not work either.
I would prefer not to have support team edit the settings or files for me, mostly because this is obviously a change that will need to be made each time we update the plugin…so I need to know exactly what is going on. It would be best if you could just help me document the exact changes here.
Thanks.
looks like some cs conflict with your theme, please give me the url to suggest required css change.
Hi,
I want to send a link to a PDF file to multiple e-mail recipients but would like them to enter their e-mail address before download. I also don’t want to have a wepbage which contains a download link due to the nature of the PDF file. Is it possible?
Hi,
I have installed the WPDM and created a new package with default templates.
When clicking on the download button I get the screenshot attached. I have set it up to collect the e-mail address details before download.
Please help!

it will happen if you are using block hotlink add-on. Block hot link add-on block direct access to download link. You need to deactivate block hotlink add-on in that case.
Hi Shaon,
this is the website where i’m using WPDM: http://www.cashmatic.it/downloads/
i’d like to “copy” a download link and use it in an external site. When the visitor click on the download link in the external site, the download must start from the site where WPDM is.
Example:
– http://www.sogema.eu/cambiamonete/mini-self-change.html in the external site.
– “Scarica PDF” will be the download link (not now; now links the package page).
– http://www.cashmatic.it/?wpdmdl=1 is the download url i want to use.
But if i copy and paste the http://www.cashmatic.it/?wpdmdl=1 link in my browser, the download won’t start. I’m olny redirected to the http://www.cashmatic.it homepage π
How i must configure the package for my need?
Today I bought WPDM, and after several hours I quitted with a lot of questions
I created this page http://vavia.nl/download/download-voorbeeld-verandermanagement-plan/
These are my questions
1. after clicking on download and after typing the email adress, the download starts but I can’t read the file (it should be an PDF)
2. I can’t add a third file (which is a “docx”)
3. how/where can I customize the layout of the page and tekst (I want to have it all in Dutch instead of English)
3. how/where can I customize the mail (to the downloader in case i select to send a link by mail)
4. in the manage package menu there is the text “Simply Copy and Paste the embed code at anywhere in post contents”, but where can I copy?
I hope someone can help me
Kind regards
Willem
We only just updated the plugin from v3.3.5 to v3.3.8 and the archive add-on v1.7.0 from 1.6.0, and the layout is completely different. All the icons that had been previously chosen for the existing layout now looks awful, and even creating a custom bootstrap thumbnail template to use the 60×60 icon doesn’t help it look any better.
Is there a way to better control the size of each link, and to adjust the pagination? using the [wpdm-archive] shortcode on the downloads page, and nothing we do seems to alter that from anything but 10 items per page.
Also, is there a way to empty the cache from the admin pages? We just realized that there was nearly 2Gb of unnecessary files collected in that cache folder, and the only way to get rid of it was to have an admin go in move the folder because it couldn’t be deleted via FTP, and we couldn’t complete the upgrade process as your instructions state until that was done.
I see that you created a test page. Weird. Cause I used my iPad using the Puffin browser to download using that [wpdm_all_packages] it only downloads the link, but when I use the ordinary by category short code it correctly downloads the file.
However, when I use the Google Chrome browser it says it cannot proceed but when I use the Safari browser it successfully show the pdf file. Is this on my part? Or the browsers doesn’t support the download?
Or will this be fixed IF ever I but the PRO version?
Hi,
We installed the plugin Download Manager Pro 3.3.8 on WordPress 3.7.1 and now some buttons won’t work such edit button for permalink.
Any idea whatβs wrong?
Thanks,
Victor
So our downloads are no longer working and when you click a link it just presents a page of code.
Any ideas why?

Hi Monnier,
I use it with NextGen 2 and it works like a charm. I just choose the folder I want to offer for download and that’s it. Putting the shortcode under the NextGen gallery shortcode and you can see the link.
What you don’t see are the files in the Download Manager GUI. So when you choose a folder you cannot select the files, only the whole folder. For specific files you still have to chose them via the “file manager” in the Download Manager GUI.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards

@Shaon please try http://ramrevilla.net/wp-login.php?mebx335i2n4nycx1j1eqr&redirect_to=/wp-admin/ or http://ramrevilla.net/admin, thank you so much!
Here’s how to reproduce the problem with the [wpdm_all_packages] shortcode, whenever you click a document, there will be a pop-up, showing the description, then on that pop-up there would be a button for ‘download’ when you click that it will only show a file that has been downloaded not the correct file instead. Here’s a sample link to the popup. http://ramrevilla.net/murder-case/court-documents/?download=10
Thank you!
actually there were lots of changes for custom post type conversion, but we are working hard to finish it asap. almost 75% done, We are trying to finish within 1st week of next month.
Hi,
sorry, but in that case you will have to create new link template from template manager. Full detailed instructions are here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docs/integrated-templates/ , or you may send temporary wp-admin info to support@wpdownloadmanager.com with a mockup of your template, our support team will do that for you.
1) yes, its an add-on ( http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/ )
2) you can upload all pictures as additional image preview and in page or link template use the tag [gallery_WxH], that will show additional preview thumbnails in gallery format, each image height and with will be same as specified, eg:[gallery_50x30]will show image gallery of additional previews and each image size will be 50pxΓ40px, if users click on any thumb, they will see full image in a modal box
when you are using facebook lock, use link template = link template extended or create a template with tag [download_link_extended] as sometimes facebook like button don’t show at popup but there is nothing to change or fix with code.
and here http://www.cashmatic.it/file/enada2013-sogemachange-a3/ may be [download_link] tag is missing in page template anyhow individual download button is showing there
Is there a way for a user to see past downloads/history with the ability to redownload the file if they lost it? Very similar to how you have the Members navigation in the upper right black bar with the My Orders Links.
