I currently suffer a severe trouble that the downlink is open free to download !
Your plugin has previously installed on our IP server at that time everything is fine , but after we Point the IP to our Domain then download link became free to download. Pls advice me how to fix it , many thanks !
Dear team,
Unfortunately I have been confronted with some scrapers that are trying to systematically download content from my platform despite various security measures. I already have the Download Limit set to 10 daily downloads but scrapers are using IP rotation. I already switched to “send download link to email” but I notice that scrapers can use the same email >10 times.
Is there a way to also limit the same email being used daily? This would help a lot.
Thanks,
Kees
Hi!
I have a bilingual site which I’m using Download Manager on. For the translations, Im using TranslatePress. I was wondering if it was possible to show different files depending on which language the site is being used on? For example, I have a file linked in English, but when the site is in another language, I would like the other file to be shown.
TranslatePress doesn’t create a new page for each language, which I think is why I’m struggling here as I can’t just link a different Download Manager shortcode..
Thanks in advance!
My downloads have links with document-tag at the bottom of the template, site/document-tag/tagname etc .. these all give 404 errors. Can you help me find out why ?
Hello – What is the default time limit for download links sent to users who use the email lock form? My download links seem to expire after about 5 mins.
The download link is working a desktop but is not working when I view the same link on a mobile device You can test here: https://dudamigratoria.com/download/carta-modelo-para-solicitud-de-asilo/
Hello,
Since updating WP Download Manager from version 6.5.7 to 6.7.8, I’ve noticed significant layout and display issues on a page using the [wpdm_all_packages] shortcode.
Problems observed:
Column headers defined with colheads break as soon as they contain accented characters (e.g. “É”, “ô”): characters disappear or render incorrectly.
The visual layout of the table is also degraded (borders missing, columns misaligned).
The problem happens even when jstable=1 is removed, so it’s not only related to DataTables or JavaScript.
If I roll back to WPDM 6.5.7:
Table displays correctly.
Accented headers render fine.
JS sorting, search and pagination work properly.
Technical context:
WordPress 6.8.1
WPDM 6.7.8 (broken)
WPDM 6.5.7 (working)
WPDM – Advanced Custom Fields: 2.4.2
WPDM – Extended Short-codes: 3.2.0
Theme: Avada 7.12.1
Shortcode used:
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" jstable=1 categories="Evaluations" thumb=1 order_by="acf_Diplme_formation_alternance" order="ASC" cols="page_link|acf_tablissements_nom_commercial_etablissement|acf_tablissements_nom-de-letablissement|acf_Diplme_site_formation_annees-diplomantes|acf_Diplme_formation_alternance" colheads="Nom de la formation|Nom du diplôme|Établissement|Campus|Alternance"]
Tests performed:
Removing jstable=1 → search/sort disappear, but accent issues remain.
I haven’t tested without ACF fields yet (can do if needed).
Replacing accents with HTML entities (É), UTF-8 encoding, or URL encoding → no fix.
No theme change made (still using Avada).
The WPDM official demo works perfectly, so the issue is not universal but likely linked to something introduced in 6.6+.
Request
Could you please confirm:
Has the way colheads strings are processed changed between versions 6.5.7 and 6.7.8?
Is this a known bug or an unintended side effect of recent updates?
Is there a way to fix this immediately while keeping WPDM up to date?
I’m happy to provide HTML output or test any patch if needed.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,
i’ve created a Custom Link Template it works fine. Few days ago WP has updated the plugin and my template file (located in: /download-manager/src/Package/views/link-templates) got lost. There is a way to avoid this? There is any “theme child approch” to preserve my template file from getting lost during the update process?
Thank You
Bye
