Shaon,
I went to my downloads section and downloaded the 4.0.0. When installing the plugin it still shows up as RC2. Can you please send me a link to the new version?
I am suppose to launch a website tomorrow and needed a robust plugin to manage downloads. After using the the Free version of WP Downloads Manager I was happy with the plugin. I purchased the pro plugin because of the things it claimed to do.
It is a much worse experience than the free plugin. I can not find a single template that will properly display my download link.
I have had to use multiple plugins to achieve similar functionality to the free plugin, such as the Tiny MCE Button plugin, which even after install is not half as robust as the free version. Without this I will have to go into each package and change the template without the advantage of using the shortcode in my product admin page.
I am very unhappy. I have spent valuable hours and $45 on a plugin that is not ready for market. I am very unhappy with this plugin.
The only advantage I have seen is the ability to download multiple downloads. Now that they are downloaded I can’t make a format work to display them properly. I am very frustrated. In all the years I’ve been working with WordPress I’ve never been this unhappy with a plugin experience.
btw. no matter what link-template i will set for categories it’s always messed up, not only images, but tables, text etc. pretty sure it’s interfere somehow with WP theme but can’t guess what it is…
for example:
http://playernotes.pl/programy/
it’s “boxed” link template and it looks totally different, from one on demo page.
another thing – i noticed, that thumbnails does not work on demo site either:
http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/wpdm-package/wordpress-shopping-cart-system/
just too same images – maybe it’s something, that you should really look into before update to 4.0.1 🙂
ok thanks, is my cache dir ok. I sent a pic
Thanks
cache dir location /plugins/download-manager/cache/, anyhow got the issue, update is coming within next 24 hours or less.
Also I have noticed I cannot delete the email address, maybe related ?
This is the permissions on my download-manager cache
where is the cache directory??
the file is here you can try
http://bannonmccabe.co.uk/photo-booth/
bottom of page at right
1) create new link template with template tag [audio_player_single] and apply that
2) http://sina.wirmachenesbesser.de/download/sprecherin-sina-begruessung/ , mp3 player is working fine:

it may happen if cache dir not writable or you trying to use same link for more then 3 times.
[download_link btn btn-large] will not work anymore with wpdm v4, use only [download_link] and if you want use image for download button, you can use this add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-image-button/
use [file_list] with link template and enable individual download, for example:
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading"><b>[title]</b></div>
<div class="panel-body">
[file_list]
</div>
<div class="panel-footer">[download_link]</div>
</div>
copy the above code and create a link template with this. use the link template for any package.
I got that part sorted, I re download the file from your site and made a fresh install. The problem I have now is file Download link is expired. Please get new download link.
Any thoughts Shaon
Thanks
Alan
I am getting download link expired when using the email lock, any one any thoughts 🙂
Regards
Alan
Using the default shortcode [download_link] outputs a link with class=”wpdm-download-link wpdm-download-locked [btnclass]”
Note the brackets.
If I try to add a class [download_link btn btn-large]. The shortcode does not execute.
I’ve created a test package containing two files. I want a post to show the download links to all files in the test package without linking to a separate download page. How can I do this?
Where is the download link and how do I update this? I looked in my plugin list and it shows it is out of date, but the link it sends it to is not the download link. Also, when I tried replacing the plugin in my folder via FTP it broke my site.
Please list the download link and steps to update.
I upgraded everything as shown on this link and now I have duplicates of every single file in my database. It has also stripped categories and tags from each and every file. I can’t believe that I’m expected to fix everything on my own now. Even my custom templates are no longer associated with the proper files.
Help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I put in writable permissions (777), but only the “look e-mail” started to run. The “fb look” after the click, you download the file “Link Expired”.
1) download archive page addon again install v2x for wpdm pro 4
2) you can update link template from wpdm settings page or assing link link template using parameter ( details: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/ )
3) use category slug like [wpdm_category id="categoryslug"] , use http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ to generate short-code
4) as #3
5) not clear, please explain little more.
6) if you don’t see custom fields make custom fields metabox visible from screen options.
7) clear browser cache
I would be happy to try the update file. Can you send me a link to it. I cannot update from my plugin tab and cannot see it anywhere.
Thanks Shaon, now it works but I have the same problem I found also in the Email Look.
when I click on Like or the link on the email, makes me download a txt file where it says:
Download link is expired. Please get new download link.
without “Look Options” the file is downloaded.
What does this mean? Where I’m wrong?
I am using WordPress 3.8.0 and Download Manager 4.0.0. I setup a single category and package with a file locked with email lock. When inserting the shortcode in a page [wpdm-all-packages] and I view the test page at http://www.acumum.com/library-test/ you can see that the entry name is corrupted and when checking Firebug console I see a script Syntax Error that I tracked down to the following:
DownloadLink() in functions.php inserts the page code for the ShortCode which includes script.
It appears as if the WordPress Page Filter add line-break tags in just the wrong places to corrupt the output just enough to make it unusable.
I checked about how to disable these filters for just your shortcodes but without success… am I the only person with this issue?
I can’t disable the filters globally for all pages as I would have to reformat all pages… there must be another way.
in that case you could use some random name or remove [title] tag from link or page template
