Hi Tanvir,
thanks for your answer.
The second link you shared is not working with the asset ID.
I am correct that this is only possible when I create a package for each file correct? If yes, than this is an issue for us, because we don’t want to create a packages for thousand of files.
So isn’t it possible to use the asset shortcode without adding a folder for each user who clicked on the download button?
Thanks Simone

Hello,
It is part of feature.
We have created a custom asset download page for shared assets. From this download page, the user can also check various asset properties and preview the file. User can provide their feedback on an asset using the attached comment feature. Visitors will see this page when accessing the asset using a shared link.
For detaile please check:
Say hello to the Digital Asset Manager for WordPress and WPDM 5 ( EPSILON )
If you want only to show download, you can use the shortcode below:

Hi,
I have tested again and it seems the email download link is working fine as well: https://www.loom.com/share/d8a611afa1d5412fa90c17340964c28c?sid=14a6e5ad-e5cf-43ae-a60a-856d0220d67c
However, if the link in the email is not working, please check the private link download limit and expiration time option from the settings.
Regards

Hi,
Thank you for your clarification.
I have tested and it appears that the download link is working fine: https://www.loom.com/share/e044f1191db04b4aae161e2351638415?sid=f02486bf-e712-496e-b226-513b6076492a

Hi,
I have tested it in our testing server by simply pasting the download link using the Insert URL and it’s working fine.
Please check here: https://wpdm.durnibar.com/download/insert-url/
Can you please try after reading the download link?

We have a gated download available after a user provides their name and email address. upon submittal they are presented with a screen that contains download button and an email is sent with a link as well. If the user selects to download using the button, then the download link in the email does not work (show “Invalid Download” error)…and vise versa.
The download button and the email link both use the same auto generated unique url (ex. https://decisivmarketplace.com/download/decisiv-commercial-vehicle-service-analysis-report-q1-2023/?wpdmdl=47231&_wpdmkey=652053e205c7a&subscriber=EKuC93DYZJBmptiLwj7miORMHYHqVgSa0LHc-RoRVF-WxU0xUv_ARxSS0MFerUw6s-eeGPFAAXMJ6FO8w6Aqeg)
The package download limit is 999/user
The Email Lock Options are:
Ask for visitors name: SELECTED
Download Instantly: SELECTED
Do Not Mail Download Link: NOT SELECTED
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for your reply! I didn’t configure anything! I was just using the option “Insert URL” when adding a new download and I was just pasting the direct download link in that box and it was working fine.
I just updated the plugin to 6.4, and this shortcode is no longer working:
[wpdm_all_packages jstable=1 cols="page_link,file_count|categories|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Download"] – had no issues on 6.3.6.
I have my site set so that downloads are only available to logged in users – if you visit https://wptest.wprnd.net/downloads-index while NOT logged in, you can see one download in the list. This download allows access to all visitors. All others are limited to certain user roles, and are not displayed. However, when I am logged in, no downloads are listed (should be a large list, plus the one w/ access to all visitors).
All was fine on 6.3.6. Please let me know if you have questions, or when an update is released. Tks

I I’ve followed the guide here. I even uploaded a sample CSV import sample that I downloaded from here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/bulk-import/
The problem is still ongoing. I tried directly on this demo website link https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpdmpro&page=importable-files but it also didn’t work.
First, I apologize for starting a WPDM Pro discussion in the Free WPDM forum.
I’m planning to purchase WPDM Pro to handle our website download workflow. I Tried to use WPDM Pro Bulk Import Feature with this link https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpdmpro&page=importable-files
menu says import complete. But no new package entries are added from my csv file. No error message is displayed. Obviously I did this with your tutorial, but it hasn’t worked.
Here is an example, https://wpdmpro.w3eden.com/download/video-test/. For hotlink, can you please check this add-on, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-block-hotlink/ and if your issue persists if possible, can you please, give your temporary wp-admin login details in a private reply to check the issue?
Thank you and regards
Is there a feature to allow registered user to view video instead of download them.

is there a way to allow them to play on my website only? and disallow them to use hotlinks to download.
example. i made:
Hello,
I can’t able to login with your credentials. However, For categories hierarchy, giving access to a certain category for a particular role you have to set from the edit category option, then you have to make empty for the Allow Access option or have to give a particular role on it like as I image attached or as usual for the select member option too,

because
Package Access = Package Access + All Category Access = All Visitors + Author = All Visitors
and Package Access = Package Access empty + Category Access(Author) = Author
or Package Access = Package Access(Author) + Category Access(Author) = Author
More details can be found in the below link,
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/add-new-package/package-settings/allow-access-access-control-option/
I hope you understand now.
please check and let me know.
Thank you and regards
hello
in the ‘packages’ area , i use the icon to create the download URL. This one I link to the download-button. I keep getting the ‘you have no authorization to download ‘. I can’t find where to change the permissions.
Thank you
I have a password-protected freebie library where I display the free downloads on my site. I formatted a link and used that link in the category tree widget to create a grid of the freebie category. It is 3 columns, and recently the formatting has been placing the first package correctly in the first column and then adding all the rest of the packages on the page into the 2nd column. I can see from inspecting the page that it appears to be missing some </div> tags. This is new, as it used to display correctly. It also displays correctly on the back end of the wordpress editor and displays correctly on page 2 of the cateogry tree.
I have tried replacing the category tree with the package list and the problem persists.
I will send the login information as well as the password for the protected page in the next comment. Please help.

I have a set up that’s not working on Chrome but works in Safari. I will post a link to the example privately.
There are multiple pages using this code and all of them are broken in Chrome (see side menu on page to navigate between them).
Page shortcode:
[wpdm_category id="meat" operator="IN" title="1" desc="1" toolbar="0" paging="1" orderby="field name" order="asc" items_per_page="50" template="card_preview_link__single_downloads" cols=1 colspad=1 colsphone=1 async=1]
Template code:
<div class=”link-template-default card mb-2″> <div class=”card-body”> <div><h3>[file_list]</h3></div> <p>[description]</p> </div> </div>
We have a site that uses the plugin “WP-Filebase Pro.” We are trying to get all documents transitioned over to Download Manager.
We’ve done testing with the WP-Filebase Data Importer and it looks to be successfully importing the existing documents into Download Manager. However, all document links on the site are referencing the WP-Filebase Pro using the shortcode feature. Has there been any solution developed that would also aid in updating the document links on the site so that they point to the Download Manager documents instead? Or is there a feature that would apply the same shortcodes to the documents in Download Manager?
Thank you!
It is not possible to keep active both the Block only the download and Hide everything option. Because it is a global setting. Hide Everything will hide every content for the package for the particular user/role. And Block only the download will hide/restrict the download link only. I hope you have understood.
Thank you again and regards
Hello,
it’s not exactly what i asked for, i’ll made an example: as guest user in the list of files i see 5 preview without the possibility to access to the full document or to download it, as logged user he just see 3 assigned to his role/category and able to download it.
So i need to keep active both the “Block only the download” and “Hide everything” depending on the role.
In the first reply you answer me that it’s possible, how can i do it?
In the templates section there is a way to use variables, like if the user is logged the title is linked otherwise no?
Best regards,
Francesco
Hello Laura Miner,
The Google Drive file link is working properly here,
https://literacylearn.com/download/wpdm-test/
however, you can also use our this add-on,
Google Drive Explorer
for your Google Drive files. And for your this package issue,
Short o CVC Flashcards
The Remote files can’t be zipped for the main download button, for remote files, only a single file download will work, as to create zip files, individual files need to be stored on the same server. So, for the multiple files attached detection gives the download a zip file. I hope you have understood.
Thank you and regards
