You’re talking about a direct hotlink. You can get this link by viewing your package, then right-click on the “download” button/link and select “copy link location”. This will give you a direct access link to the file you can email to people, etc.
It would be nice if the developers changed WPDM so this link displayed under the “edit download package” page so you didn’t have to go through these extra steps just to get the hot-link.
This hook : add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpdm_downloadable’… is the problem, because it changes the content for all calls of the_content().
Same problem with the links in the function wpdm_canonical_url (download-manager\modules\canonical_url.php)
You must verify the post type
if ( ‘wpdmpro’ == $post->post_type )
{…
Is the [wpdm_package id=xx] the only shortcode usable inside pages?
What I’ve to do to have, as result of a shortcode in a page, only the download counter for a package without any link to the download?
Thanks
ok that error is when I use the link to the category page in the category area of download manager.
When I embed in page with shortcode both work
[wpdm_category id=bulletin item_per_page=10]
[wpdm_category id="bulletin," item_per_page=10 template="link-template-default.php"]
Can I get the download category pages to work again that is the question.
Hi,
I have an incompatibility with the plugin bns-featured-category which displays the recent posts of a specific category.
As you can see at http://www.adapei01.asso.fr/download/revue-fevrier-2013/, in the widget (‘Articles récents’ = ‘Recent posts’), the post description and the permanent link are not those of the post but are those of the package.
Thank you

In October I sent my details to the support emailaddress. For my first package the problem got solved. I’ve uploaded a second package and the same problem occurs: nothing happens when I try to download with email lock enabled. I know nothing about ‘theme functions messing with inline js code’ but would like to know how to solve this.

Great Shaon!
And only one more question: how can I translate the strings in WPML? I need to translate [download_link] and [download_count] !
Thanks
hello my friend, i downloaded and installed the pro version of script, great script, anyways it took care of the overlapping trouble i was having on the free script, thanx allot
it is in a secured area, i can set you up a temp password, can i get your email please, not want to put it here
Shaon, I have to be honest with you, but I am really getting annoying with your support, where you just keep throwing half a sentence at me that doesn’t solve anything. I have inserted your short code in the “Login Required Message” form field on the settings page – and it does nothing! I cannot even click on it. Is this supposed to be a link?
Moreover, using your Facebook and Twitter Lock just triggers a blacked out window, where the actual message to “tweet” or “Like” on Facebook seems to be hidden behind. I have attached a screenshot for your information.
I have been trying to work with your plugin for weeks now, but it’s still not doing what you advertise on your website. Can you maybe try a little harder to help me resolve this problem; so I can finally use your plugin as intended?
I would appreciate it.
Thank you!
Karl
please give me your url to check
use like:
<a href="[download_url]">[title]</a>
Thanks Shaon,
but if I use [download_url] I don’t have the title!
user [download_url] tag instead of [page_url] , but it only will work with public download
Hi!
I need to modify link-template-default-icon.php
I want to have the media-heading in h4, but I want that the link goes to download-link instead of page-link.
I suppose that I have to modify the shortcode [page_link], but I don’t know how can I do that.
Any help, please?
[icon]
[page_link] I want to replace page_link with download_link, but I need to preserve h4 title
[download_link] [file_size] [download_count]
I do not have the email templates at all in any of the menus. I see downloads. there is a template section there for links and pages, but not for emails. Also there is no email menu. I have only Manage packages, add new, buik import, categories, templates, subscribers, stats, and settings.
Please help.
I removed the newsletter plugin and uploaded it again, still no difference, I cannot save newsletter templates. I also need the email field for [download_link_extended] fixed still.. This is going on over a week with no resolve now. Can we please get this fixed asap. Thanks.
The download links dont work. They do nothing!!!!
If the name of the Arabic section gives a long link
If the name of the Arabic section gives a long link
I hope that does not make the link takes the name of the section, but figures

Hi Shaon,
this is my download page: http://www.cashmatic.it/download/
i need to upload a package (for tracking purposes) that will be direct linked to a button in the site, but i don’t want it will be shown in the download page. Basically i need a “hidden” download.
It is possible? How?
When you check why newsletters are not saving can you also check why [download_link_extended] email field is a mess, the submit button doesn’t even show on the page.
it only will be possible for public downloads, you can use like this:
<a href="[download_url]">[icon]</a>
in your link template
That’s not what I meant 🙂
I can create a template on Downloads > Templates > Page templates. When I upload a document, I can choose Page Template and Link Template. I want to change default Page Template from “Single Column, Extended, AudioPack” to one of my own templates.
In Downloads > Settings > Display Settings > Page Template (which you refer to), none of these options show.
I see that the custom fields are for something else.
What I would like to do is have “country” as a required field to receive a download link by email, as well as their name.
Please advise.
Hello,
I would like the [icon] shortcode to link to the download URL (such as what the [download] shortcode does, but showing the icon).
Is there a parameter I can add to this shortcode?
Or where in the php files is it so I can change it?
thanks
