Sorry for my late reply.
Basically, the Python script I created correctly uploads the files using your API. However, when I click on “Generate download URL”, this is the address that comes out:
https://mywebsite/?wpdmdl=7053&masterkey
As you can see, the masterkey is missing.
Then I have to go into the download, click update, and magically the masterkey is generated, and it correctly generates the link:
https://mywebsite/?wpdmdl=7053&masterkey=fL1HPluIpPl-ym9zVcmGZhkRswTEcdstsShcujn00WeWdSvIeSyFpxvkcCfwfsJxdQfSiEUI85oGTAK5NjG3C-CfKsxYdSylELJiG5BgF18
I need the masterkey to be generated immediately when I upload the file via the API.
I have the free version (3.2.66) of Download Manager running on Patheon server which in the past hasn’t has any issues. Recently it has been noticed that the files aren’t saving when creating new downloads through the green button upload issue.
When I run the site on my local hosting, it doesn’t replicate this issue.
On the Pantheon server, I can see:
– the file get uploaded successfully after selecting it from the local drive.
– the file name get added above the green box with the garbage bin link next to it.
– saving the new record, sends the file name successfully
– the new file is on the server in the uploads/download-manager-files directory correctly
– the new post is in the posts table
– the metadata table has all the new metadata fields added but I have noticed that the __wpdm_files field doesn’t get the correct object saved and has the filename empty.
This file name being empty is obviously the problem but I’m at a loss was to why this is happening on the Patheon hosting all of a sudden.
Anyone have any ideas?
I have two features I respectfully request that you give serious consideration to:
1 – Support (standard) Post Tags. This should be a toggle (or multi-choice radio for those who have a need to use BOTH standard Post Tags as well as custom WPDM Tags) The lack of support for normal Post Tags is a non-starter for most webmasters I work with which is why they will not use your plugin despite my past recommendation, but personally I just hack your plugin to fix this oversight. The use of Post Tags is a very common method to associate downloadable content with Posts along with other ‘related’ content.
2 – It’s very nice that you offer the ability to customize Templates, but there needs to be a simple way to set a “default” custom template for both link and page views, that applies to all assets unless overridden by individual template selections on assets. Disabling all other templates (as had been suggested to me by your support rep) does not work. It was also suggested that I purchase yet another plugin to set these defaults, but that is ludicrous.
At $99 annually, being able to check “yes support Post Tags” and to set default custom templates are VERY basic features that Pro users should reasonably expect to find.
I appreciate that you keep this plugin updated, but I have to re-hack it manually every time you update, and am thus unable to use the auto-update feature in WP. This is inconvenient and has me hunting for a different plugin, before my next renewal.
PLEASE consider these requests – I believe they will improve the value of your plugin, and I am not asking for more than other premium plugins deliver.
Hi,
View count triggers when someone views the page, however, view count may skip due to browser or page cache or someone access download link directly.
Please check now, I have adjusted code with target="_blank" for page_link and backup the code file from your active-theme/download-manager/all-packages-shortcode.php file. Please check here, https://www.actuarialsociety.org.za/ts/?page_id=24740, if it is working properly. Please check and let me know.
Thank you and regards

I am not able to under stand this.
I created a directory download-manager under the theme (do I need to make in child theme or main)
Created two sub-folders: page-template & link-template under defult-theme/download-manager
Uploaded my link template (which I had made) into the above folder (under link-template.
Am I correct.
After this , what needs to be done
Kindly follow these steps:
1. Copy page-templates or link-templates directory from /plugins/download-manager/src/package/views directory to your active theme directory.
2. Make a new directory as download-manager on your active theme directory.
3. Now remove all files from {active-theme}/download-manager/page-templates or link-templates except the template files you need to update.
4. Update/copy template file(s) in {active-theme}/download-manager/page-templates or link-template directory as per your need.
I created a Page Link Template and uploaded it to the folder where other page templates were there. Now after I updated Download Manager, the template has vanished.
Where should I upload my template so that even after the update it still remains

With the recent update, enabling the “Flat Download Link” option results in “Access Denied” messages presented to users who are authorized to download package contents. Disabling the “Flat Download Link” options resolves the issue. Please fix this, as I would like to use the Flat Download Link option.

I’m using the following shortcode to display downloads from a particular category
[wpdm-all-packages categories="scoreresults" order_by="title" order="ASC" cols="title|package_size|download_link" colheads="File Name|File Size|Download"]
But for some reason the headers are not appearing. This was working before, but after updating to 3.2.92 this appears to have stopped working.
I have since updated to 3.2.94 – and i’m still getting the same issue.
The following is the html source for when the headers are displayed
<thead>
<tr>
<th style="" id="title" class=""></th>
<th style="" id="package_size" class="hidden-sm hidden-xs"></th>
<th style="" id="download_link" class="hidden-sm hidden-xs"></th>
</tr>
</thead>
Can you assist?
Thank you
Please try this <a href="[download_url]" data-package='[ID]' class="wpdm-download-link wpdm-download-locked btn btn-primary"> Download </a>. Please check and let me know if it works for you.
Thank you and kind regards
Hello Nayeem,
Unfortunately, that solution is not compatible with the lock options (we ask for check terms and conditions in the popup after clicking on “download”). The popup is not opening anymore.
Could you please provide another solution to not translate the text of the [download_link] and which works with the lock options?

The slight problem is, when someone logs in to handle all the uploads for the users, they go to the backend. Thre is no backend screen that shows all the Packages/Downloads, assigned to each user.
From what you are sayingw e need to create a link in a custom menu, that goes to a page using your Shortcode.
What exact shortcode do we need on a page, that will show ALL download Packages, and then be able to filter by user? (or search by user)?
” And for your requirement you may trying from Downloads > All Packages section there will be a dropdown where anyone login or the administrator can filter packages by Author. Please check and let me know.” This won’t help. As this is for example, things that I personall yhave uploaded. I want to know ANYONE has uploaded and assigned to a particular member.

If you are facing an issue with the download label you can use this <a href="[download_url]" class="btn btn-primary">Download</a> instead of [download_link] template tag in your link/page template. please check and let me know, if it works for you.
Thank you and regards
