Hi, we’re trying to figure out how to link to the pdf file only — not to a page where the user then had to click another button to download the file. For example, on http://newsite.debtorsanonymous.org/fellowship-services/order-literature/ , can we have it so when the user clicks the download icon, the “Download” link, or the linked “Literature Order Form” text, it downloads/opens the PDF, as opposed to taking them to http://newsite.debtorsanonymous.org/download/literature-order-form-for-orders-submitted-in-2014/ where they then have to click the Download link? My boss said that’s how it was working before they upgraded to the pro version.
Thanks and let me know if you have any questions!
In reply to: Template and page_template aren't working CSV
Download Manager isn’t responding correctly anymore :
1#http://computer-info.nl/archive-2/ Isn’t showing packages.(truesort) (the attached picture isn’t showing packages either) it’s The download manager function within a page.
2#Also this isn’t working anymore: [wpdm_archive cat_view=”sidebar” category=”categoryname” item_per_page=2 ]
What files did you change?4#Unfortunately 1999.1 isn’t working. neither is 1999.2, does it need special markup because of the (.) dot.
5#Being able to add child hierarchy was part of the custom work, that had to work. Otherwise, how could i get a working workflow i send you in the beginning? I actually told you this several times..
This is the workflow
A new version will come out: 1000.1 that has a parent: 1000
1000 doesn’t exist yet so i add it to the csv file ( this is just a parent page) this will get linked from a certain page.
The only thing this page does is show all the different kind of software
1000
1001
1002 etcIn return those pages have different versions: 1000.1/1000.2/1000.3
Those versions contain files like : API – 1000.1 etc.My setup now is :
1000 = package with shortcode for all the packages in category 1000
1000.1 = package with shortcode for all the packages with the category 1000.1
API 1000.1 = package with file that again is listed in 1000.1The CSV file will contain
1 row for package 1000 with shortcode
1 row for package 1000.1 with shorcode (with category parent 1000)
1 row for package API 1000.1 with file. ( with category parent 1000.1)The first work you did, with the archive shortcode, wasn’t a good fit because i can’t use shortcodes within the packages. Also there are no individual package pages. Just /archive-2/.
Also you told me you would fix the layout, but you did not.. I couldn’t wait any longer so I made the aforementioned workflow.
Otherwise to make it work now, I need to add all the categories upfront, child and parent categories. When new software comes out, the category already exist and people just have to give in the correct category-id in the csv file. That’s quite some work. I won’t even be using any of the custom work i asked for..
In reply to: Disable Package Pages
You can hide package link from link template, Docs: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/ . But there is no option to “disable” it.
In reply to: Download Link
for those downloads, you need to use different link template with
[download_link]and if you want, you can use download title as link label in package settings.In reply to: Download Link
That works perfectly, thank you.
I have another question though. Some of my downloads are going to only be available to certain users. How can I make a link the same way, but only for those users?
Thanks,
Brandon
Topic: Download Link
How can I make the title of the document be the download linke? I made a template that has the title and then a link called download, but I can’t figure out how to combine them.
Thanks,

Topic: Data Table Layout
My client requires all subscribers to see the same 5000 downloads so I am using the data table layout as this is the only way I can seem to make that work.
Is there a way to change the actual 5000 package template without having to edit each one? There is only one category and all packages are within that category.
Is there a way to eliminate the category column in the data table layout?
Is there a way for the first column where the pdf is a link for it to open in the browser – as there is already a download button over on the right.
Finally is there a way to block access to the entire page unless you are logged in as the subscriber? In other words they can see everything that is there now but they can’t access it – I would prefer it just be a login page so then they see everything. I thought that the Access Settings would impact that but it does not seem to.
Thank you.
CJTopic: Amazon S3
Hello,
First, I’m using the WPDM- Amazon s3 plugin and I can access files from my bucket, but when I click on the package’s download link the File opens in Browser, and not in a new tab either. In Settings I have the “Open in Browser” box unchecked so I’m not quite sure why this is happening. The file opens in the same tab so users have to press the go back button if they want to traverse back onto my site. Is there a way that the document could go into the downloads folder instead or at least open in a new tab?
Second, when the file opens I can copy and paste the s3 url into emails, forums, other browsers and the file still opens. I have the WPDM – Block Hotlink plugin enabled as well but maybe this is not what that is used for. Do I have to change the Bucket’s properties for this to not happen, and if so are you aware of how I should configure them or is this an issue with Download Manager itself? Thank you for your support
Using the plugin “WPDM – Extended Short-codes” v2.4.1 and this shortcode:
[wpdm_tree download_link=1]
everything works properly.
However, updating “WPDM – Extended Short-codes” to the latest version currently available (v2.4.3), even users who do not have permission to see certain categories of downloads see everything.
Could you check? Thanks!
Hey there,
when I use the option to hide downloads, then all downloads are hidden even with access permission. My Users have multiple roles and it looks like you are only checking the primary role! It works when I set it to the primary, but thats not the solution, I need multiple roles.
If I only hide the download links it works because you check all roles.
Any Solution to this Bug?
GabrielThere’s a section to the top right that says home > category here
Client would like this removed.
Also using panel 1/3 link template. need to add break in between the links as they’re flush against each other.

Topic: Help with Plugin
Hi. I have purchased the pro plugin and have it installed on my wordpress. What I cannot figure out is how to list the downloads on a page. I have tried everything and have had no luck.
Basically what I am trying to do is this.
1. A general paragraph with info on it relating to the downloads
2. A list of the downloadsI currently have a table with links in it but I wish to replace it with Downloads Manager – see attached screen shot
—————–
This page will allow you to access and download unpublished or self-published music. Some of the music is also available as an MP3 download that has recently been demo recorded or has been used at various events and conferences. As the music here becomes available in published editions it will be removed from this site.Song title 1 – Description – Download MP3 Link
Song Title 1 – Description – Download PDF LinkSong title 2 – Description – Download MP3 Link
Song Title 2 – Description – Download PDF Linketc…….

That’s it but I can’t generate it please help.
In reply to: Locked download shows "link expired"
Downloading the ZIP package works indeed.
The single file downloads, however, don’t. They show the “link expired” message.
To reproduce:
* enter the password in password box on the left of the green download button, e.g. Security Report 2015
* click the green download button=► link expired text.
NOTE: if I enter a wrong password in the box, the box gets a red border so password checking is working.
In reply to: Download Limit not working,
Download link actually should work fine, btw, if you trying to download same package multiple times in same session, it will be counted as one, but if that is not the issue, please give me temporary wp-admin login info to check. If you want to show the message in another page, it will require some customization in code.
In reply to: PDF Stamper doesnt work on zip download
🙂
If anyone else want to know, you need to remove[download_link]from link/page template, doc: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/In reply to: Locked download shows "link expired"
I am using “Card” as link template and “Default Template” as Page Template. These are the OOB versions, no changes made.
In the source I see the templates are usingdownload_link.==► this is not the problem.
Any other ideas?
Best regards,
RoelandIn reply to: Accordion Questions
That’s what ‘link-template’ is 🙂 You can create new template from Downloads Templates
You can modify package view insdie accordion using link template.
Send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply, i will create a sample link template for you.
Thanks.
In reply to: Accordion Questions
Thanks for the reply, but the information you reference does not affect the page I am asking about. I am wanting to know which page affects the accordion links, not the actual download link page – I have that figured out.
1. Issue
Regardless which Link Template is select in a shortcode the display never changes.
I have created a new page called downloads. Using the Extended Tiny MCE Button I have inserted the following shortcode:
[wpdm_packages link_template="link-template-calltoaction4" order_by="post_title" order="asc" paging="asc" items_per_page="10" title="" desc="" cols=1 colsphone=1 colspad=1]But instead of showing the package links like in the preview (see attached preview_cta4.png) I get the default display (see frontend_cta4.png). This counts for any link template I reference in the shortcode. The rendered html code shows always “<!– WPDM Link Template: Panel –>”
2. Issue
Although the extended shortcode plugin is installed and active they do not show up.
I have inserted the shortcode [wpdm_tree] in the page mentioned above. However it does not display the file list. In the rendered html code I see “<div id=”tree5648639db1401″ class=””><ul class=”jqueryFileTree” style=””></div>”. Only if I setup a category those packages belonging to that category show up. Packages without category are not displayed.
I could swear this issues are new. I have setup a fresh WP installation to make sure this in neither a theme nor a plugin conflict. I have downloaded the latest zip files for WPDM and WPDM Addons. WP 4.3.1, WPDM 4.4.0, WPDM ESC 2.4.3 and WPDM TMB 2.4.1. Tested with Themes Twenty 13/14 and 15 as well as Theme Enfold. The results are always the same.
Kind regards
Michael

Those demo links using Archive Page addon (http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/)
In reply to: Accordion Questions
1. Create a link template without these information (Download, link, file size, and download count) and use that when inserting accordion shortcode. Here you will find docs on link template, http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/link-template/
2. Accordion addon does not have that option yet.
In reply to: Download Buttons and styles missing
Download link is visiable there (https://www.evernote.com/l/AUeLplTfKNlJ5KmJdEv94AAXFpDusZaejC0), but if you want a button there you have to activate Image Button addon.
Topic: Accordion Questions
I have a couple simple questions that I am sure are easy to correct, but I simply cannot find the solution on my own (please see screenshot for visual reference):
1. How do I remove the information (Download, link, file size, and download count)?
2. How can I make the accordion appear expanded upon page load?
I have looked at the (.php) template files, but cannot locate the code, nor have I located an option to enable/disable this functionality in the dashboard.
In reply to: Download Buttons and styles missing
I see download button also showing properly at front-end now, addtionally, I installed image button add-on ( http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-image-button/ ) to show nice images with download link. You can change button image from wpdm settings page.
Topic: Tree view: just spins
When I use [wpdm_tree] or [wpdm_tree download_link=1] to create a tree view of all my docs, the folders with nothing in them open up just fine. But the ones that have content change to a “spinner” instead of the folder, and they spin but never display the contained documents.
I wonder if this is because my download files are PDFs instead of images? Is there a way to fix it?
