My documents for download are all in .doc format, when i download file, i cant open because it has been coded!!!!
Please help??? Thanks
Just check code (but I’m no PHP Developer), it does look Like different different code is use.
for categories, function wpdm_embed_category around line 1647:
$current_user_role = is_user_logged_in()?$current_user->roles[0]:’guest’;
$category[‘access’] = !isset($category[‘access’])||!is_array($category[‘access’])?array(‘guest’):$category[‘access’];
//check if current user is allowed to access to this category
if(!@in_array($current_user_role, $category[‘access’])&&count($category[‘access’])>0&&$category[‘access’][0]!=’guest’) {}
but in function DownloadLink line 570
$caps = array_keys($current_user->caps);
$role = array_shift($caps);
$matched = @array_intersect($current_user->roles, @maybe_unserialize($package[‘access’]));
When will you have a fix?
Thanks
We need to access the simple link URL of the package file. Our file list is layed out in a table listing the product versions, etc. and all we want is to make the file name a link to the download. Using the shortcode creates way too much information and messes up the format of our table. How do we find the URL link to the package so that we can use a simple link?
Our current layout is at: http://md.humanizedcommunications.com/customer-area/
Hi,
Did this ever get resolved? I’m having the same problem. Using a shortcode to display a category, but all packages are listed even though the user does not have access and Hide Everything is set.
Site is on internal server at the moment.
Thanks
1. if you check that option, user will be able to download individual file in a multi-file package. But you also need to use [file_list] tag with link/page template to show file list at front-end.
2. please send a temporary wp-admin login info to support@wpdownloadmanager.com, we will check your issue.
in you are using facebook lock, use
link template = “Link Template Embedded”
page template = “Single Column, Image Top, Extended”
or new new template using template tag [download_link_extended] , more details:
Integrated Templates
sorry, but no such option available there.
When I use “Use Direct Link to download file” for creating pakage how can I open the links “download” to a new window
Hi, am using WP 3.6 and Download Manager Pro. All works fine when clicking download link, filling out email address, email is sent with link like testsite.com/?wpdmdl=6&_wpdmkey=524354f37c787 but when click on that link in email, the site loads but the pdf file never downloads. Any suggestions of what I should be checking? Thanks
I’ve spent hours on this already trying to achieve the same thing and finally figured it out.
NOTE: You do need to purchase the WPDM Directory Add-on for this to work.
1. To get the category buttons at the top you need to create your categories first in Download – Categories. Make sure you leave the field called ‘Allow Access’ empty.
2. Go to Downloads – Settings and at the very bottom is a drop-down called ‘Link Template for Archive Page’. I chose Bootstrap Thumbnail as it looks like the demo version but you can select what you like and see what looks best for you.
3. Now create a new Page on your blog and insert the following shortcode [wpdm-archive] and save the page.
4. Now view the page and hopefully it should all work.
I hope I haven’t missed anything. I’m not sure why the developer can’t add a simple step-by-step on the Docs page for this or better yet do a short video. It would save people a heap of time and save him repeated questions in this forum.
I see downloads are working fine.
when i found this css file??
Hi guys,
Looks like WPDM is not using the WP upload “routine”… Let me explain…
I’ve users who post packages with files containing accents and all sorts of characters. When they do so, the link is broken, and we can’t download the package.
I’ve checked in the wpdm upload directory, and I see the files there, but with a lot of strange characters, due to the fact that WPDM is not sanitizing the filename.
I’ve added a filter in my functions.php file, but it does not fire, making me think that WPDM is not using the “regular” WP upload system.
Would you please provide a fix for that?
Thanks a lot!

I just accidentally found out the download links are broken. Browser returns “The connection was reset” after click on any link. They was ok few days ago. Maybe it has to do with update to 3.3.8, that I have did few days ago. I’ve tried check the permissions for packages, reset the settings, re-activate the plugin, re-upload the files. I’m desperate.
I did some analysis. The script is putting a “=” (highlighted in yellow in the screenshot) at the back of the download link.
Which is causing an error in downloading the file.
Can you please fix?
thanks, thumb option noted for implementation.
and now you can copy download link and package link from admin already.
in may happen if you want [download_url] tag for locked packages or /download-manager/cache/ dir not writable. Anyhow please send a temporary wp-admin login info to support@wpdownloadmanager.com to check your issue.
I just upgraded to 3.3.8 Pro and I’m getting a filed called “invalid-link.txt” which says “Download link is expired or not valid. Please get new download link.” in it’s contents when I download the file form the frontent…but, I’m able to download the file fine from the backend. Any ideas? Need to fix right away. Thanks!
hi, Shaon, the problem is when I add a new package, now I have in the site only that I imported from download monitor, and these work well, but if I add a new package the pages/links does not work. feel free to add a new package to see the problem… thanks.
please send a temporary wp-admin login info to support@wpdownloadmanager.com with forum post link. support team will check and set it up there
you need to edit file wpdm-all-downloads.php , remove page url from there to disable page link.
please mail your front-end url where you got it now working and a temporary wp-admin login info, so that I can check. support email: support@wpdownloadmanager.com
I see package links also working properly now ( http://www.mesoamericaregion.org/spa/download/genesis-ingles/ ) . looks like you already adjusted it.
yes, view will depend on link template, more about templating is here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docs/integrated-templates/
