Can you please tell me in which file this anchor tag ‘<a/>’ of the download link forms??
Hello Adi Hidayat
You can change the title font size from the page template/ link templates CSS section, Downloads > Templates, and also can change through your theme style scripts. I hope you have understood.
Hello Jason Emanuelson,
Sorry for some late. It is possible if you can link in the navigation menu a link template for direct download. Otherwise, there is also a solution in my above instruction. I hope you have understood.
Thank you again and regards
I suppose I should have asked it in another way, with a use case.
Is it possible to use a download page template to auto-download the file? This is a common use case and delivery mechanism for software titles. Click on the download, a page opens, and a few seconds later, the software begins to download, but if it does not, there is a direct download link as a fallback.
If none of this is possible, how do I get it on the feature needs list?
Please find the URL here: https://www.secp.gov.pk/data-and-statistics/corporates/
Here, the download manager is working fine as it is using the previous version of the download manager, we have upgraded the version of WPDM on our staging site which cannot be accessed externally but as I explained above the difference between the download links of the two is causing the issue.
Sorry, we can’t provide admin login details to you as explained in multiple threads earlier.
Wait, I have an idea.
Is it possible to set the default action of the download package page to redirect to it’s download link directly?
I guess the frustration is that I will eventually have dozens, if not hundreds of links that will need similar treatment, as the city wants to have all of its documents available via menu, rather than on a page. While it would not be our suggestion to do it that way, those are the requirements that we have to follow.
If I have to go back and forth between screens for dozens or hundreds of links, I might as well just use direct file links in the menu, rather than download manager pro to accomplish this.
While that may work, it means it has to be updated every single time any changes are made, rather than being like the selection option that already exists in the menu builder? It also adds a layer of complexity that is not the case when using the existing menu builder option.
It would be nice if we could simply select in the menu builder whether we want download page or direct download link.
Hello Jason Emanuelson,
For menu items to direct download a package, you can follow this way, you can generate a package download URL as I image attached and add a menu from Custom Link as I image attached,
please check and let me know, if it helps you.
Thank you again and regards
It appears that sort_by is sorting by title, even when I specify sort_by=date when I have jstable=1 in my shortcode. When I take jstable out of the shortcode, it appears to sort correctly. However, we need to have the search bar so we have to include jstable=1. Help please?
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="10" order_by="date" order="DESC" jstable=1 categories="training-info-cert-forms, fy21-22, fy22-23" cols="title,download_count,update_date|download_link|categories" colheads="Title / Last Update|Download|Categories (click to filter)"]
We have recently upgraded the download manager to the latest version i.e. 6.3.5 in which the download button is not working. After a bit of inspection, it has been found that the difference between the old and the new download link is that the old one uses ‘onclick=”location.href=’ whereas the latest download link uses ‘data-downloadurl’. When I replaced the data-downloadurl with the old approach i.e. ‘onclick=”location.href=’ it started working. Kindly help us for finding a way out to this problem, thanks!
Hello Marina Toselli,
Hope you are well. 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,
Allow Access: Access Control Option
I hope you have understood now.
please check and let me know
Thank you again and regards
Hi,
Image hover gallery doesn’t show wallpaper / before login.
At the bottom I made an image hover but the customer hasn’t logged in yet. The background image should show. I have a problem that it doesn’t show like the background image is permission locked too, right?

I gave this a try but it still does not display the categories. When I go to create a new package, there are checkboxes on the right side to select what category to put the package in, but I don’t see anything beyond that. I am looking for it so be displayed in list packages table on the Author Dashboard (using the frontend shortcode).
I have also noticed that when I click on the settings option on the left side, the page is empty except for the “Save Settings” button. It is like this on your demo page as well: https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/frontend-uploader/?adb_page=seller-dashboard
Last thing, I am looking to modify the list of lock options, I do not need the LinkedIn share lock, the Tweet lock, the Google +1 lock, thhe Twitter follow lock or the Facebook like lock. Is there anyway to remove these? I tried using the hide sections parameter for the lock options.
Thanks again for the help.
I have the option selected in settings, but nothing the form does not show, no error, in the front end. Is there something I need to do to get this showing up?
Hello,
In the shortcod, at front-end, you may not need all the details options, in such case, you may use this parameter to hide sections/meta boxes you don’t need. You can hide settings, images, categories, and tags sections.
Also it is possible to display what category the package belongs to. You can use [categories] template tag in page or link template.

Thank you for trying to help.
This is great for an end user who wants to see all downloads that are available.
As the owner of the business I want to see a list of my packages and how many people downloaded them
Package 1 6 downloads
Package 2 15 downloads
My original question right at the top said when i looked at my packages I got different answers as to how many people had downloaded it.
Here is the link to how the report shows:
https://duediligencesa.co.za/?template_preview=03wxU1dw4pbeFo6U7VWK8lfLuJuwzyw-riEXFadfToynFyYq5AoyIQYikARalPhhOd2Ucj9nYerPvnAd6ym5FMPnFYm_HZ0u0GNaWxiiMJ4&_type=link&_tplnonce=42fd9dac93
Now I need all the other packages below.
I feel this should be in the reports, but as I mentioned I am trying to understand why I am seeing two different figures for one package.
Appreciate your time.

Hello KA PETERSSEN,
According to doc, Keep dir structure, means, a file from /src/Packages/views/link-templates dir should go to /{active-theme}/download-manager/link-templates dir. And as you are using the free version of WPDM, you can use a link template like this, [wpdm_package id="package-id-here" template="link-template-id"]. I hope you have understood now. please let me know
Thank you again and regards
Hi
I have created the folder sytem:
/public_html/wp-content/themes/DDSA-child/download-manager/views/link-templates
Within there is a file called Reports2023.php.
Should I not be able to see this file in the list of templates now? On the website under templates?
Hello KA PETERSSEN,
If you are using the free version, you can use the template tag [download_count] in your link-templates/page-templates from here this directory, download-manager\src\Package\views. And for keeping back-up the files, you can follow this doc, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/. please check and let me know
Thank you again and regards
Hi Nayeem,
Thank you for the following of my request.
I don’t think I’ll try a plugin for SMTP issues, because:
– I have several contact or information request forms on my site and they work very well
– I have a subscription system for my newsletter with double optin and it works very well
– Sending links from WPDM works very well too.
You can try this here by yourself : https://agence-digitaline.fr/creation-de-site-web/gestion-franchises/ (at the end of the page)
I can go either Sendinblue, or by my SMTP directly, the result is the same, everything works well in all cases.
It’s just alerts to inform me that a download has just taken place with WPDM that does not work. maybe a triggering issue ?
So if we can’t find a solution, I’ll have to try another system to make my files available.
I’ll give you one more day to see if we can sort this out. beyond this day, I will find another solution. Maybe with Ninja forms or WPforms or Gravity… It will be easier. It’s just unfortunate because WPDM offers cool stats and templates.
THANKS
FRED
