“I simply want to create packages where the user is required to register or create an account prior to being able to download these documents.”
for this, simply set access = all user roles except “All Visitors:” from package settings , you don’t have to do anything else there
Two days, no word, help! This error causes all my download links to be broken.
When I create a download link in a post I can access it no problem but if I log out and try as a guest I get a 404 not found error.
any help on this would be much appreciated
thanks

My preview images don’t show up. When I try the link to the image I get this error message:
“You don’t have permission to access /wp-content/plugins/download-manager/timthumb.php on this server.”
What can I do?
Fabian
1) image button add-on is not required anymore. You can use image url directly with template tag like [download_link http://image-url... ]
2) please explain the issue little more with an example url
3) please explain the issue little more
4) its not from wpdm, but from your server, need to contact your server support
5) you will need WPDM Directory Add-On http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/
6) please give me an url where you seeing the issue
7) its actually not hacked, demo admin is accessible by any one and any one can change anything. anyhow we reset demo periodically.
“Also, when I am using the download link for a document that is subject to “Email Lock” it shows “Access denied”. How would solve this?” not clear, please explain little more with an example url, in case of email lock, link will be mailed or starts immediately after entering email depending on your choice
yes, its totally depends on link template, create a link template.
For example, if you use [thumb 200×200] in link template then it will create a 200×200 thumbnail. More details are here

Hi Shaon,
thanks for your reply
package link: http://intranet.fuerstenberg-institut.de/download/brief-vorlagen/
Error message: Fatal error: Class ‘ZipArchive’ not found in /home/httpd/docs/intranet.fuerstenberg-institut.de/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/process.php on line 45
phpinfo showing that zlib is installed: http://intranet.fuerstenberg-institut.de/info.php
Thanks!!!! That did the Trick!!!
Hi Shaon, thanks for your response. This actually worked, but how would I style the link to match the CSS of our site?
Also, when I am using the download link for a document that is subject to “Email Lock” it shows “Access denied”. How would solve this?
Should I provide a link “Register to download file” and how would the download link be delivered in this case? In an email? Please advise.
Many thanks for your time and patience
How exactly does the Micro Form plugin work? I have it activated and can create a form, but how do i link that in to the download page for a package. I want the person to have to read a little blurb, then click a checkbox and fill in their email after which they will get the download link emailed to them. I like the modal popup for the email, but does the microform get inserted in there? or how does it work exactly. Thanks
Hi Shaon,
Thanks
I’ll send website link to support@wpdownloadmanager.com
Please enter the search term “mary” in the search field as an example.
It takes forever to populate.
create a link template with following code:
<div class="span6">
<div class="thumbnail">
<div class="media">
<div class="media-body">
<h4 class="media-heading" style="padding-top: 0px;border:0px;margin: 0px;">[title]</h4>
[download_link] <i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="icon icon-th-large"></i> [file_size] <i style="margin: 2px 0 0 5px;opacity:0.5" class="icon icon-download-alt"></i> [download_count] downloads
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
easiest solution is, open functions.php , find and remove
$extralocks = apply_filters("wpdm_download_lock", $extralocks, $package);
We added the filter with last update, but as i see, its making some usually problem for some installation, we are checking that in details, until then you may remove the filter.
easiest solution is, open functions.php , find and remove $extralocks = apply_filters("wpdm_download_lock", $extralocks, $package);
Downloads/Subscribers will show the collected mail addresses from email locked packages, regular registered members from [wpdm_frontend] will show in wp user link.
yes, 2 ways:
1) edit default-link-template.php , replace [page_link]
with [title]
and save
2) clone default link template from downloads templates , replace [page_link]
with [title]
and save
#1 will apply the change on same template, #2 will create a new link template.
Thanks for your response Shaon,
I saw this and tried to create a new link template, but your short code doesn’t seem to work. I tried clicking on the download link button, but no code is unveiled or inserted into the new link template to the left. I am on a Mac, could this be the problem? Pretty frustrating. All I want to do is creating a very simple download link that will link to the document without creating any of these package detail download pages. Can you help please?
Hello,
Before I installed your plugin the authors on my site created blog posts and we just put download links in the body of the post. Here is the site
http://www.modularfilemaker.org/category/module/
Now that I have your plugin I want to make each of these posts into a DownLoad Package. I can copy and paste the content, but I want to make sure that the New Download Packages are still “Owned” by the authors who wrote the original post. So they can continue to manage them.
Another way to say it is that I need to turn my old blog posts Packages
Does the help to clarify it?
Thanks
Todd
Everything explained here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docs/integrated-templates/.
Here is again:
You need to create a link template. as you seeing on the following image:

right sidebar ( #3 ) has bunch of short-code. You can use those short-code along with other html tag to generate your link template.
The tag [page_link] outputs package title linked with details page , so you simply need to skip this tag if you don;t want to link with details page . but if you still want to show the package title , you can use [title] tag , which will simply outputs the package title without any link
[download_link] tag outputs the download link of your pacakge. and you can use or skip other tags depending on which info you want to show or not.
ok, send wp-admin login info to support@wpdownloadmanager.com with forum post link, and make functions.php writable.
Please help me with this…
We cannot download the files.
1 thing you need to login into our system with Teamviewer etc. because we run the site on a local webserver its a Intranet so not reachable from the outside.
Please let me know or email me @ Kay [at] kayvanaarssen.com
Thanks
