1) you can remove those extra tags from /download-manager/templates/page-template-default.php
It worked, thank you.
2) yes, icon can’t be linked that way
Well then, how?
3) actually you don’t 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 🙂
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.
🙂 the plugin attached with previous reply already. anyhow here is the link again:
http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/wpdm-server-path.zip
Thanks everything ok now!
you should get reply by now, if still don’t please give me order id here, I’ll link your order with your account
I have made custom page and link templates, but they do not get applied in my package.
Also, maybe not related, the default “downloads” permalink does not work (404), as specified in the Settings.
Check http://www.robvens.com/downloads
The package link is http://www.robvens.com/download/mgc-4-3-1-voor-windows/
It seems that templates are just for links and places that the package is promoted. Is there a way to customize the appearance of the details page. For example, we want to allow individual file downloads, but there are no passwords. It looks odd to have a table with a blank column for password. Also, we do not need the download button for the zip file. Also, we’d prefer that the row for stock not appear in the other table. What’s that supposed to be for anyways?
- it happening because your theme css conflicts with bootstrap.css, can be resolve just delete some css from bootstrap.css
- delete the file: /plugins/download-manager/modules/css.php . not required anymore from WPDM Pro Xtreme ( v3.3.3 )
- select default link template or user extra class with download link tag, for example:
- [download_link btn] or
- [download_link btn btn-large] or
- [download_link btn btn-large btn-success]
here btn-lage for large button
btn-sccess for green button
similarly you can try , btn-info, btn-inverse, btn-danger , full button class reference is here http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/base-css.html#buttons

Thanks for the update. However I have some problems with it:1. The text “Email Adresse” in a widget from Wysija Newsletter plugin cannot be read anymore. Disabling the Download Manager solves the problem:2. The link text of a download package appears twice when using the “download link with icon” template:3. It is not possible to use the buttons under settings anymore:Do you have any solution for this?Due to these problems I reverted back to 3.3.2Best,Andreas
1) facebook like not showing because of js conflict, as your page already using another fb library, to resolve that issue disable other fb plugins
2) page showing dark because of css conflict with your theme, anyhow to resolve that replace [download_link] with [download_link_extended]
