I am having the same issue. I uploaded the files via FTP to my server and created a download link by using the add file from server function. It looks great but the files get corrupted through the manager. I downloaded my files directly off the server, without the download manager and it worked fine.
Using the download manager drewsers.com/?page_id=1497 Password: mik3jor
Direct off server: drewsers.com/files
Thanks,

I did, the version I have now is 3.3.5 and that’s when all problems started. Missing icons, slow download speed, cannot edit anything.
Did not have a single problem since the day one until upgrade. Replace all files via ftp, disable/enable the plugin. I even deleted the folder and started all over again and still have the same problem. I personally think it’s something with the database, but cannot start fresh because I have too many links to Amazon S3. Will take me months to add them all over again.
Have you had a chance to look at the link?
yes, you just need to create an link template with following code:
[download_link]
but if you want to use a image there use like this:
[download_link image-url-here]
then select the link template for your packages

I’ve created a page on my site which contains the shortcode [wpdm_category id=ict item_per_page=10] where ‘ict’ is the category name. It returns all the downloads with that category. The download links under each name work, but when I click on the actual file name it returns an empty page, rather than a details page showing the large thumb, download description, etc. What am I doing wrong? I’m really confused! ๐
The url in the address page shows ‘?download=space-shuttle-poster’ after my domain name (space shuttle poster is a test PDF download file).
1) you can batch upload all files using bulk import feature, but that will create separate pacakge for each file
2) you can attach multiple files with same package and you can download individual file from a package. but you need to enable individual download, no need to create individual package for each file ( Example: http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/file-download/free-web-designer-iconset/?wpdm_page_template=page-template-1col-ex.php )
3) wpdm pro has many short-codes, even for listing all packages in a table or selected categories, check here http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docs/list-of-download-manager-pro-short-codes/
4) In pro, templating is very extended and what will show or not , in the template will totally depend on template tags you will use with a link or page template, here is details: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docs/integrated-templates/
I have the same problem – looking for a solution. I have just set up DMPro and can’t get the email lock to work at all. Did this thread have a solution?
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…
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3725160/how-to-give-time-limited-download-link
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? ๐
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
