Hello,
Thanks for replying back to me. I have uninstalled the previous version, re-downloaded the new version, installed it, but still nothing is showing. I have even tried simply putting [download_link] in the template with no other codes in, but no avail. Perhaps I’m doing something wrong but I can’t seem to get an image to show, only the “Download” text.
@trickz100, yes, there was an issue, anyhow that is fixed and updated copy uploaded now, please download the add-on again and install it. It will work fine now
I’m sorry but it doesn’t work at all. I’ve followed your instructions step by step and nothing shows. I can see the images in the admin area, just not on the frontend. π
1) install and activate image button add-on.
2) go to admin menu Downloads Settings Buttons Tab
3) Select (just click) a button image
4) or upload your own image and select
5) Save Changes
That’s all. All of your download link should show with that image.
anyhow next update of wpdm pro will have new option to use image directly with download_link tag like this:
[download_link image-url-here]
Me too! Does anyone know how to use the image button add-on. Perhaps I missed it but is there any documentation how to use it?
Yeh the free version does, however, there is now a new addon for the pro version that allows you to replace the download link with a proper image button. I’m just unsure how to get it to work that’s all.
I’ve been working on this all day (since purchasing the pro version). I thought the free version did it. I remember seeing a download icon but in the pro version I haven’t been able to figure it out. Although the page template has the following [download_link btn btn-mini], it doesnt work in the link template. Not sure why.
Hello,
I have noticed that you have added a new addon which supports images for download links! π
Everything is all installed, I’m just a little confused how it works? I have chosen a download button but nothing shows still? π
if you see 404 error please open functions.php , searh and remove “flush_rewrite_rules();” and now go to admin menu settings permalink update permalink structure. that will resolve your issue.
1) you can remove those extra tags from /download-manager/templates/page-template-default.php
It worked, thank you.
2) yes, icon canβt be linked that way
Well then, how?
3) actually you donβt need to un-select it, you simply can remove [icon] tag from link template
I still think that option should be available. Otherwise if I need to edit the appearance of a template, it is possible that I will have to do so in 2 different locations. Most of my file changes would happen in the Package section not the Template editor.

I have WordPress installed in a subdirectory on my server, with the subdirectory masked out on the user side.
WPDM seems to be having issues with that subdirectory, in that it can’t find or render my custom templates (everything shows up as the default), it won’t use any uploaded custom icons, and it adds the subdirectory in to all the URLs that it generates (including the download URLs) which results in 404 errors and “file not found” errors when clicking on download buttons.
Is there something I’m missing in the settings where I can let the plug-in know to disregard that subdirectory when it’s generating links?
not yet, but option will be available from next update.
I had a problem where the icons weren’t showing on my website but they were in the admin area. I’ve noticed that I wasn’t the only one with the problem, so I thought I’d post the solution.
1) Go to: /public_html/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/images/icons
2) Copy all images from there. (I downloaded them to a temporary folder on my desktop)
3) Upload/Paste the images to: /public_html/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/file-type-icons
and that’s it! All icons are working now π
Note: Also make sure that [icon] is added in your Link Template.

Hello, is there any way to wrap the download link with an image? I don’t want any text, just an image I have which says Download.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks
Hi, I just bought the Download Manager PRO and installed the plugin in WP. I tried the steps described in the docs, but i can’t create the effect i want…. The embed code produces some unwanted results… No matter what i try, the result stays the same… A huuuuge icon, I can’t view the page from wp-admin (404 error)…
here is the link to the page (with the embed code):
http://www.pisk.si/index.php?page_id=1234
Can you give me a hand please?
Thanx

To fill right side, just try select another link template for that category.
And if you looking for premium theme, specially optimized for wpdm pro, you may check here:
http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/downloads/themes/
Not displaying the archive page was caused by renaming the permalink to /download (in the settings there “WPDM URL Pacakge Base” was filled in with “dowload” I don’t know whta this means but the combination made the archive page not work anymore. This is now solved. But the display of the images and the layout and not working of the dropdown on the categories is still not working (I put the file to 777) Hope to hear from you soon.
create a link template with the tag [download_link]. more details: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/docs/integrated-templates/
@dublin, you should receive a mail (to the email you used to pay at paypal) with instructions. Anyhow, if you don’t see that, please mail your order id to support@wpdownloadmanager.com or contact live support
I can’t find that. I am having lots of problems with the current version. It seems to break the WordPress themes and after applying the CSS fix which is sticked in the first post, the page and link templates layouts look different.
Thank you.
1) That seems like a lot of work for a plugin that’s supposed to have this option. Better to inform people before they buy, IMHO.
2) I see. I took out any locking and tried the link, and it is indeed preventing the download, so this works.
3) cache dir is writable
Anyway, since I wasted more than a day on this I decided to skip the locking. Maybe it’s for the better, at least wpdm gives me a statistic on how many poeple downloaded the files. Thanks
I also bought Block Hotlink, which has a serial number but I was never asked to enter it and haven’t found a way to enable it. Maybe that’s why my downloadlinks in emails is not working? Please advise, thanks.
π the plugin attached with previous reply already. anyhow here is the link again:
