Hi
I have bought your plugin and read all the documentation, however I am still struggling with a few things.
1. I have linked my page http://www.mbizana.gov.za/download/resources/ to Dropbox. In dropbox I have created a main folder with sub folders with files in. How do I get my page to display the folders, as there is going to be many folders and files uploaded by the client via dropbox and I can’t go and add each one individually. Users should be able to browse within one window between different folders.
2. How do I get the Download link away and replace it with a View link that will view the documents in an embedded viewer. Downloads should not be allowed.
Please help me as soon as you can.
Thanks.

Hi, button seems to select, and settings seem to save, but they are not applied.
Please try and apply a different download link template or a different page template, and you’ll see for yourself. I cannot get the functions to work.
Topic: Preview Image Missing
I have been using WPDM for a few weeks with no problems. I use a custom link template that shows a small preview of the image being downloaded. However, this evening I added another download. After I added the download I checked my downloads page and the preview images are no longer there. Only the name of the file is present. I have no idea what I could have done to change this. I am attaching a picture of my download link to show you what I am getting. You have to click on the link to be taken to the page where you can see the image that you are downloading. Please help!
Thanks!!
Topic: WPM_File missing
I updated the WP Download Manager plugin. My short links changed, though, which completely changed how they viewed on the website page. The short codes for these links use to be [wpdm_file id=”x”]. I researched this issue wiht Download manager, saw that tinymce was now an add-on which we installed then. However, no where were we able to see where there is a short code that was a wpdm_file . We have [wpdm_package id="xxx"] short code, and this look on the public site is completely different than the previous short code. How can we get back to the wpdm_file short code, and that corresponding visual look of that short code on the public site?
Thank you.
Topic: Symbolic Link Not Working
I would like to refresh the files available to subscribers each day with updated values. So, I have a symbolic link under the wp-content directory to a directory that mirrors an FTP site each day. The files download from the interface are from the original time that I set up the package. I can’t figure out where wp download pro is pulling the files from. Any thoughts?
In reply to: Accordion and Default Values working together
You should link them, it only makes sense too. Look forward to the accordion update. So far I am really impressed with wp download manger…great job. Thanks for the quick response.
We purchased the wpdownload pro, accordion and default values to work a certain way. We needed the accordion style and want to use a certain template we created. More or less, when you expand the category with accordion, we want a direct link to the download.
So..When I click on an accordion category to expand it is not using the template we set using your default values plugin.
Please tell me you did make these two plugins works with each other. I can’t imagine you didn’t.

you need to remove [download_link] tag from page template you are using there. Docs: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/
Topic: Access Denied
I am having issues downloading files after switching to a new theme. I can download files from the widget but not from any posts or pages on my blog. I receive a “Access Denied ” message in place of the “download” link whenever I attempt a download. Everything worked great on the old theme so I believe it is an issue with the theme somehow.
Topic: .csv importer
Where can i get a list of accepted values to use in the .csv import tool.
for example i have tried many ways to get “tags” imported as well as link page and link template, no matter what i put in these fields in the CSV file they do NOT import to the download.
Thanks
Topic: PDF icon
How can i do to just have the PDF icon instead of this not “Download” text?
PS: In the options of the plugin says Link/Buttom but when you select it it only shows the link, not the icon.
Also if you chose other templates you can’t change the language of words like “Download” and many others.Should be an option to edit them, even in the free version.
In reply to: Link Templates
Hi Shaon, thanks for your response. But I think I didnt explained well.
By default, the MP3 template has the title of the download as a link to the page template. What I want is the same (having the title as a link) but to a direct download. In the code you gave me, the title is not a link and a “download” word appears beneath the title.
I only want to have the title of my download as the link to the download. Not an extra “download” word appearing.
¿Is that possible?
GregoryTopic: remove download link
Hi,
I have two download links (one is a button (I want to leave this one) and the other is a link and when you click on it appears to write the password and to download the file). Well, I would like to remove that link.
How can I do it?Thanks so much.
In reply to: Link Templates
If you follow same instructions I mentioned in my previous reply, that should work, however, here is complete template code:
<div class="w3eden"> <div class="media thumbnail"> <div class="pull-left"> [icon] </div> <div class="media-body"> <h4 class="media-heading">[title]</h4> <div style="padding-left: 0px;"> [download_link] <i style="margin: 2px 0 0 0px;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>In reply to: force refresh
Don’t need to refresh page, user will not be able to download the items when limit is expired if though they see download link. However there was a minor issue with this feature but we have fixed it and update is coming soon.

#2. Clone the link template your are using there now, replace[page_link]with[popup_link]and save as a new template
#3. Use the new template now for popup linkIn reply to: URL Variable
Sorry, Download link can’t look like that anymore, from next update of this add-on http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-tinymce-button/ you can attach file directly into post.
It staggers me that for a plugin with the word “Download” in it, there actually isn’t a download section on the site. Instead, you have to bizarrely navigate to your account dashboard and then click on the latest “Completed” order id and then click on a Download link. After all that, it only lets you download the very latest version! Unless you meticulously keep a copy of every single zip you download (and you might miss some because it’s not easy to know there’s a new version), this means there’s no way to roll back to any previous version easily.
The siite *desperately* needs a download archive section where every version you have ever been entitled to (including expired subscriptions, which crazily don’t let you download any version at all from what I can see, despite you probably being entitled to several releases under that expired subscription’s period).
Topic: Homebrewing auto-updates
Download Manager Pro doesn’t show any indication in the WP admin interface that there’s a new version available, which is extremely poor, particularly if the new version has security fixes. In fact, the lack of auto-updates of Download Manager Pro is utterly appalling and a major security risk, so I’m going to have to “homebrew” my own way of doing auto-updates.
Firstly, I’m going to need to know what the latest version of Download Manager Pro is – my best guess is to scrape this page:
http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/category/blog/new-release/
and look for the earliest line with “WordPress Download Manager Pro vX.Y.Z released” and extract the version from that. This seems extremely crude – is there a better way to get the latest version programmatically?
Once a new version is detected, it looks like I’ll have to screen scrape with curl to get to the latest zip file in my account:
* Login to Download Manager site
* Go to http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/purchases/
* Get the top (“Completed”) Order id line and follow the link
* Grab the Download link for the download-manager-X.Y.Z.zip file (may also need to get License key here)
* Logout from Download manager site
* Copy the zip file onto the server I want to update
* Run a sequence of WP-CLI commands as necessary:
– Deactivate old plugin (if present and activated)
– Delete old plugin (if present)
– Install new plugin
– Activate new plugin
– Add license key if needed (not sure how you do this step!)
* Do some post-upgrade tests (home page HTML OK, returns code 200 etc.)
* Rollback using an old zip file/license key if there’s a problemIt does seem to be a total pain in the backside to have to handcode this (and if the Download Manager site gets reworked, things will fail) – there *really* ought to be better way than this – an auto-updater plugin (which I see was around in 2011, but gone now) or something. I can auto-update all the other free and paid plugins I have installed in our WP sites…except for Download Manager Pro – arrgh!
