I also have a very long delay between clicking on Download and the Save dialog box appearing. I have a package that contains a ~130MB .zip file and when I click on Download it takes a good 3-5 minutes before I am prompted to save the file. I also have a package with a ~500MB .zip file that times out.
download page and the password to download is New12345
We’re having a similar problem. It’s not the actual page that is indexed, it’s the download link. Google is indexing the PDF file.

We’ve added the below to robots.txt but they don’t work.
User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /*.pdf$
User-agent: *
Disallow: *.pdf # Block pdf files. Non-standard but works for major search engines.
Any suggestions?
if you only want to show the button, you can create a link template only with tag [download_link] and other styling options for the tag you can see here: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docs/integrated-templates/
This is the website i’ve developed: http://www.cashmatic.it/download/
You can see 4 “public” downloads, listed with the wpdm-archive shortcode (we’re now deciding between this and wpdm-all-packages shortcode).
The next step is adding some “reserved” downloads, for registered users (we’re deciding too if the users must be “simple” registered or with a custom user role). So… can you explain me, please, the steps i must follow for reach my target?
The idea: private downloads don’t displays the “Download” link but displays something like “Login”
When the user clicks on the “Login” link he can login or register himself
Thank you
Thanks for your reply, however I may not have made my problem clear enough. I have read and re-read the documents for this but still cannot fathom this out.
We are going to create around 6 WordPress pages of downloadable datasheets. Each WordPress page will contain maybe six links to separate datasheets.
I have created 2 test packages which refer to my wpdm link template which looks good when viewed and my wpdm page template which is where I seem to have a problem with when viewed.
This is the code that the page template generates:
.more_previews_a{display: block;float: left;margin-right: 6px;}
Version[version]
Download[download_count]
Stock[quota]
Total Files[file_count]
Size[file_size]
Create Date[create_date]

[thumb_gallery_40x40] [download_link btn]

This template seems to have a left sidebar displaying page links that I do not want.
So what do I edit in order to stop the left of indeed any sidebar appearing on the details (page template) page?
Thanks for your help.

Hi There!
I just want to add, at the bottom of my POSTS, a nice button that says DOWNLOAD NOW, and to show the number of times it has been downloaded and the size of it. Basically what I had with the FREE version.
I upgraded to PRO to have multiple files option, but I just don’t seem to have the option to NOT have the PAGE option.
What am I missing?
Thanks! Mariano
Instead of download start, it shows the last photo error. It works when I put website page link to facebook like box. I want to get likes for my big page on facebook, not for my website page or posts.
you can create your own link and page template from Download Templates section, full details: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docs/integrated-templates/
please send to support@wpdownloadmanager.com with forum post link
it you are trying a multi file package and your server cache memory is not enough, such thing may happen, as wpdm pro zip all files on the fly while you are trying to download.
Please add following line at the end of /download-manager/modules/canonical-url.php to resolve open graph url:
add_filter( 'the_permalink','wpdm_canonical_url' );
I tried to add it, but your server was not allowing to edit/update file from wp-admin plugin editor.
When i or anyone click on the download button it takes upwards of 1-2 min for the download to even begin…
Do anyone know why this would be.
Also it says the file is 53mb but only starts the download at 37mb
you can hide toolbar with sorting from wpdm settings page.
Pro version has extended template options. So here you can build template as per your need, to add a separator line, edit the link template you using there, add <hr/> at bottom. More details about templating options http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docs/integrated-templates/
Another example: i’ve tried adding to my sitemap the “Downloads” post type. The unuseful link is in the sitemap, as the ONLY sitemap link for that post type. Ridiculous.
I’ve yet explained *where* that unuseful (or i must say “destructive”?!?) link is visible. In the message above. Pls read it.
For better explanation i attach an image. Pls, view it. The test link is http://www.cashmatic.it/file/brochure-mschange/
I think the issue is located in function getlink() in functions.php, but I’m not sure.
The URL is: http://nmf-group.com/producten/afdichtingen/roterend/lipafdichtingen
The button is located below the first paragraph (green button with text ‘download catalogus’).
I keep getting emails from readers, telling me that they can’t download files. When they click on “Like” it takes them to a page asking them to leave a comment but nothing happens.
I tested email lock but on entering the email address and name it redirected me to a blank error page to say the download link has been emailed.
How do I change the email template it sends?
How do I set it to only accept verified email addresses? My list is full of false emails and that’s why I am only using the facebook like at the moment?
that will require lots to changes.
sorry, actually previous and text text is in .js/jquery.dataTables.js, any to change the text, please open wpdm-all-downloads.php
replace ( line# 142 ~ 145 ) :
var dtable = jQuery('#wpdmmydls').dataTable( {
"sDom": "<'row-fluid'<'span6'l><'span6'f>r>t<'row'<'span6'i><'span6'p ",
"sPaginationType": "bootstrap"
} );
with:
var dtable = jQuery('#wpdmmydls').dataTable( {
"sDom": "<'row-fluid'<'span6'l><'span6'f>r>t<'row'<'span6'i><'span6'p ",
"sPaginationType": "bootstrap",
"oLanguage": {
"oPaginate": {
"sFirst": "First page", // This is the link to the first page
"sPrevious": "Previous page", // This is the link to the previous page
"sNext": "Next page", // This is the link to the next page
"sLast": "Last page" // This is the link to the last page
}
}
} );
and for this: http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/
you will need wpdm directory add-on ( http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/ ).
Can i have an answer, please? What the hell is the link /wpdmpro/wpdmpro/ ?????
Viewing at any single downloadsource code, i can view that the /wpdmpro/wpdmpro/ link is in the meta property=”og:url” content, and this is a bad thing.
Why? What’s this link? Why?
Please, you’re invited to answer at your PAYING customers…
Every download i’ve created has a URL like this: http://www.cashmatic.it/?wpdmdl=3
But i don’t like that “wpdmdl=3” and i’de like to change with some other, like the real filename or my preferred word, like “getfile=3”
The download manager was working well for my client for many months, then yesterday they reported all package download pages showing a 404 error.
Here is a link to the downloads page and you can test individual download details pages: http://www.redwoodhill.com/download-center/
How should I problem solve this issue?
I’m running Version 3.3.8 and WordPress 3.6.1.
Ok, i decided to delete the download page (i dont really need) :
So i changed :
'publicly_queryable' ► false, in functions.php
I changed my link template : [page_link] by [title]
And i deleted all the wpdm entries in the wordpress “post” table (because there was always the wpdm results in the blog research ).
Is there any other things to delete ? the download page is really deleted ?
Now i wonder how to delete de wpdmrss page ? because it is a list of 404 errors…
1) yes, you simply need to create a new link template using [icon] [title] and [download_link], if you skip [page_link] tag from link template, detailed page will be off, more details: http://wpdownloadmanager.com/docs/integrated-templates/
2) same as #1, if you skip [download_count] tag from link template, then the download count will be hidden from front-end.
