in that case you can use our premium package add-on with wpdm pro, this site ( http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/ ) is managing with those 2 plugins ( wpdm pro + premium package add-on ). For premium packages, download links only generate for clients who purchased it, same link will not work for others.
Essentially, I want a time limited download. Like this…

Can this plugin do this?
new link template with icon added in latest version 3.3.5.rc2.
yes, you can use [link_label] too
I have upgraded to the most recent version, and when I click on the package name I get a page not found error. When I go to the package edit page and try accessing it via the URL or via the View Package button, I get the same error. I have tried disabling and re-enabling permalinks and still have the same issue. The download link works fine, but I need the package page to work so that users can get more information about the package. Help! An example URL where this is happening is http://www.growgreened.com/agritourism/ Click on the package title to see what I mean.
Hi
Can anyone tell me where/how to change the css for the display of categories? I had this all fine and then upgraded and now get the default black bar etc at the top of each category.
I have a page where I want to display all downloads in certain categories using the shortcode link this:
[wpdm_category id=enrolments]
Would appreciate any help!
Thank you,
Shaon
Sorry I have another question on this topic.
Can we have a code for for link label?
So we can build are templates like this
[link_label]
Thank you for your time
1) Download links were not appearing at all as selected page template didn’t have [download_link] tag, i changed it and showing ok now.
2) Create new link template using following code:
<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>
select the template from edit package window.
I have sent you an e-mail to support@
As for my other post I am still getting a problem if I activate Calendarize It, The Other Plugins have been replaced with ones that seem to not be affected as to where Downloads sits on the Dashboard, but if you activate Calendarize It you will see that it will not appear, until Download Manager Pro is deactivated…
But more importantly I would like to know why:
1. The Download Links do not appear at all.
2. Why does it take me to a second page, which I do not want, I just want someone to select the link that they want and then be able to download it without this second page appearing!
you can use default link template or link template with icon from the link template drop-download list.
yes. please use short-code [download_link image url] , example: [download_link http://cdn4.iconfinder.com/data/icons/orb/128/10.png ] in page or link template
yes, use download link like this:
<a href=”[download_url]” target=”_blank”>Download</a>
Hello. Any news on the download link image for link templates? 🙂
I’m not sure if it was the saving permalink action I took or if support made other changes when they logged into my WP admin backend, however, a) the Portfolio item in dashboard is displayed again, b) Downloads appears in the dashboard (bottom) where it should, and c) my portfolio items (on front-end) have returned and seem to be functioning properly. I’m using goodlayers “Modernize” responsive theme. Not sure if any of this helps, but try saving permalinks again.
Thanks trickz100 and Shaon
I have updated to 3.3.5 RC2 which you are right, has sorted out a lot of the issues, I tested with an item in my download list which is a PDF, it now displays the Icon when I select the ‘Default template with Icon’, BUT…. I still do not get a ‘Download’ link, If I click on either the displayed Icon or the text beneath it, it still takes me to a second page which just displays ‘Edit Package’, I dont want this second Page to appear, I want to just select the Icon or the text beneath and that will start the download, but this doesn’t??? must be doing something wrong, I have selected that users have to be Subscribers to be able to download the file, I have not selected anywhere that all users have the ability to ‘Edit Package’???
Thank you. Everything has updated. One last thing, I can’t seem to find any option to have a custom download link image?
this only will happen if database not created successfully, send temporary wp-admin login info to support@wpdownloadmanager.com along with forum post link to check your issue
issues are fixed with v3.3.5.rc2 , please download again to get latest version and update your copy.
WordPress Download Manager Pro v3.3.5.rc2 released
release v3.3.5.rc2, please get it and update your copy. if still show 404 error for custom post type, just go to admin menu settings permalink and click save button for once. that will resolve all of you issues.
I have some PDF files on my site and i would like it to open and not download when you click the link.
Is that away I can do this.
Thank you for you time.
Hi James, I can answer some of your questions, I’m sure Shaon will answer the rest for you.
Problem: No Icon Showing
Solution:
1) Go to /public_html/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/images/icons
2) Copy all images from there.
3) Paste the images to: /public_html/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/file-type-icons
and that’s it! All icons are working now.
Note: Also make sure that [icon] is added in your Link Template.
Problem: Link taking you to another page.
Solution:
1) Ensure that your Link Template has [download_link] in it. This will be your download link. At the moment, it’s not possible to wrap it with an image.
2) Ensure you have selected the link template which has the [download_link] code, in your packages.
For example, I have created a new Link Template simply looks like like this:
[download_link]
and the title of the link template is simply, ‘Download’
Now in my packages, My link template is set to “Download” and my page template is set to “Default template”.
I hope answers some questions for you 🙂

Also, why does it need to take you to another page that shows you information on the download and then also this Edit Package button that by the way doesn’t do anything when you select it?
All I want is a simple Link, with a graphic Icon show you can see what you are about to download and a download button, I like the fact that it displays the size automatically, but a download button would be nice, but not this second information page, thats just messy! I just want a simple link to a file.?
I have added some test links to my site and cannot get them to work as I would like:
1. The links appear as just Text, No Icon displaying the type of file that they are, tried various inbuilt template, but cannot get any to work with much more than Text.
2. Cannot get anything to actually download, the files are added to the database, I have tried changing templates, but all I get when you click on the links are either nothing, or a button station edit package, no options to download the files at all.
3. It doesnt matter what you select when you select an Icon, or even if you upload an image, they dont appear anywhere.
4. I have tried adding the Button Add-on to see if this would give me a download link, and again, nothing, the new button i have chosen do not appear under any download links.
Has anyone actually go this plugin working? I have been playing with it now for a couple of months and not got it to do anything?
Hi, I’m trying to get email lock to work and although the download manager ask for my name, company, and email address, and then displays a notice saying the download link has been sent, no email actually arrives. Where should I go looking to find out what’s going wrong?
I have tried to get this plugin working with 8 different themes from ThemeForest and it is having some really weird affects, although it works OK, and I am able to create normal pages and links to files on these pages, I have noticed the following issues, and all of the theme designers are stating that the problem is with the plugin, which I am starting to see as I do not get ANY other issues with ANY other plugins, here is a list of the problems:
1. Most impotently is that Any Album or Portfolio Pages give a 404 page error when Download Manager Pro is Activated.
2. At no time do I see any Icons for any files that are in Download Manger Pro, I can get basic links appearing OK, but these are just Text file links, and even if I select an image or upload a new icon file, nothing is displayed.
3. I have found that Download Manager Pro not stops three other Plugins from loading, or at least they all load and are activated OK, but if Download Manager Pro is activated, then all three plugins are hidden, so I cannot activate Download Manager Pro?!
Anyone know of any fixes for this or any other plugins that do work?
