Search Results for 'download link'

The download button with wpdm_my_download short-code skips all lock options with default options. However, use template="link-template-id" with short-code, that will serve your purpose.

in that case, you need to use regular post/page and add wpdm package shortcode there. Package information on page is customizable through link template

However, plugin actually doesn’t offer that type of feature, it is just working as standard wp feature works with custom post type, ex: woocommerce.

However, for extended customization support, please contact our Custom Upgrade Service team.

instead of download your can use different word in wpdm settings. However, base slug also totally removable. As, it is not a built-in feature with wpdm pro, it will require some code customization.

Try using the following code:

function wpdm_remove_base_slug($post_link, $post) {
    if ('wpdmpro' === $post->post_type && 'publish' === $post->post_status) {
        $post_link = str_replace('/download/', '/', $post_link);
    }
    return $post_link;
}
add_filter('post_type_link', 'wpdm_remove_base_slug', 10, 2);

function wpdm_parse_request($query) {
    if (!$query->is_main_query() || 2 != count($query->query) || !isset($query->query['page'])) {
        return;
    }

    if (!empty($query->query['name'])) {
        $query->set('post_type', array('post', 'wpdmpro', 'page'));
    }
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'wpdm_parse_request');

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

1. You can not do it. As your intention is to update groups, It is better to remove existing groups or packages to avoid conflicts before importing same packages.
2.In bulk import excerpt field is not available. Instead of that you can use description field for contents. To show it you can create link template and use template tags to show the contents.

Hello Shahjada,

Once again, thank you so much for a very quick reply and solution, I can confirm that following your last instruction did get everything back working fine.

However, sadly it does not do what we need, and what the OP needs, which is to be able to remove the /download/ (or /downloads/) from the URL.

Perhaps it might help if I explain our situation better…..

We have had (for many, many years) a page titled “Downloads” (in our URL, it was http://www.oursite.com/downloads) on that page we initially just listed links to certain pages (posts, actually), each that had a blurb and something to download…it might be a user guide, or a map, or whatever, and the URL was “www.oursite.com/maps/thismap.pdf” or “www.oursite.com/user-guides/myguide.pdf”. Each individual page was optimized for that asset, and our main “Downloads” page was just a listing of links to those pages by category.

Then a few years ago my boss said “we need to track how many people download those” so we switched to using a plugin, Download Monitor, which worked great, although it was a huge amount of work to move all our assets into it and swap out the links, but it worked.

Then recently my boss said “we need to let visitors VIEW the download first, or print it, before they decide if they want to download it”. Great. Download Monitor won’t do that, so I searched for weeks and tested many other plugins, before settling on yours – it’s truly a great plugin – BUT we discovered after installing it and migrating all our downloads from Download Monitor into yours, that it added the /downloads/ into the URL and our main Downloads page no longer worked.

So from the WP forum for the free version I was directed to the Pro version and told the Pro version would allow me to set the URL base myself.

I need to be able to keep ONLY the category name in the URL – that is how our downloads have been indexed for years and I really don’t want to do redirects. I like that your plugin uses custom category so it could import the categories from Download Monitor also (that process was super-simple and very smooth). 🙂

BUT we’ve also always used post_tags to associate assets with content – so if I have a post about a product, and I have a user guide for that product, they get associated to the same page by tagging them both with the same post_tag.

Since your plugin does not support using post_tags (you’ve removed that support on line 315 of the current version 6.3.3) which I had to change that line from “false” to “true” and comment out line 369 (so that the custom tags are not registered), and I keep good notes so that if/when I update to the next version I can make those changes again (I would encourage you to consider adding that as a choice to the Settings, to enable or disable support for Post Tags and maybe even other users might like support for Post Categories).

I deeply appreciate your ongoing help to figure out this URL base thing, I’ve already spent weeks on this project and my boss is pressuring me to get our assets back online and available because it was a significant source of our traffic and it’s dropping every day I don’t have my downloads back.

#1. Change package url base slug to download/%wpdmcategory%

#2. Save Settings
#3. go to WP Admin Menu ► Settings ► Permalinks
#4. Click “Save Changes” button.

Everything will work fine then.

WELL I SPOKE TOO SOON!

While the solution offered worked in the BACK END, where I could see that the base URL to my downloadable items (packages) did indeed change to include only the category name, which is good…..

NOW NONE of my Pages are accessible on the front end – ALL content other than my home page goes to the 404 error page!

EDITED TO ADD: After deactivating the plugin WPDM pro, now all pages get redirected to my home page, not good.

I’ve reversed everything and flushed the cache (permalinks) several times and nothing is fixing it. I’m attempting to restore from my backup last night but this is truly disastrous. 🙁

Try using different link template, there are lots of link templates for various use case, you can can create your own link template.
Please follow the docs:

Link Template

Creating a new template

We have found the issue, it is actually with download page, if you email direct download link, it will work fine. However, we shall fix it with the next update.

Here it is:
[wpdm_my_downloads login=1 template=link-template-widget cols=2 cats=1]

You had to add cats=1

Hello,

Thank you for your reply,

First, please ensure that you are using the latest version of WPDM and the Archive add-on.

Also, please use the valid shortcode parameter from the below link.

WPDM Directory Add-on

I have tested with this [wpdm_archive button_style="default" template="link-template-default" cols=1 category="apk,123124" items_per_page="10" orderby="title" order="ASC" login=1 last_state=0] shortcode and it worked well.

Hello Oliver Hernandez,

Hope you are well. I have checked your issue. First of all your SMTP mail server is not working properly. The mail for the download link is not sending properly. Then for Invalid Download Link, it can be for setting Stock Limit: 0 from your related package settings or also can be for old Master Key from your package. I have adjusted those for your shared package URL. please check and let me know

Thank you again and regards
