Hi Tanvir, Thank you for the reply, I think this is a great option for user-specific situations. Sorry for the delayed reply. Currently I don’t offer any kind of user specific access, so I have a few questions. First, the link to Advanced Access Control that you provided goes to a 404 page. So I went looking for it from the Add-ons section and found this demo link – https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/addons/advanced-access-control/ but that also goes to a 404 page. I don’t see Advanced access in the demo you provided, what specific would I be looking for in the admin area?
All that said – would this allow me to assign one lock option to non-logged in users and a different lock option (or not locked) for logged in users? Ultimately that is what I’m looking for. A way to provide a limited access area a different type of download option… but I don’t want to have to manually apply that setting to every individual.
I appreciate your help!
Thanks but in the past I was able to use something like this:
cols=”title,download_count|download_link”
Does this no longer work?
Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
It appears that you are using an older version of the WPDM plugin. Please update it to the latest version.
Also, you are using the free version. If you have access to the Pro version then please download and install the latest Pro version from the below link.

I have the [wpdm_all_packages] used on this page: https://www.formfactor.com/sales-service/file-library/
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="50" jstable=1 order_by="title" order="ASC" cols="title,excerpt|update_date|download_link|categories" colheads="Title|Update Date|Download::155px|Categories"]
All seems to work ok, but when you click a category it shows no results, even tho the files art eclealy categorized since they are listed on the page.
I also had previosuly been able to link directly to a set like so: https://www.formfactor.com/sales-service/file-library/?tax%5Bwpdmcategory%5D=rohs-cn but thats not working anymore either.
Please help
Hello Anand,
Thanks for contacting us.
Currently we don’t have bulk import integration with Amazon S3 using wpdm.
To bulk import in WPDM you can follow the below doc:
Bulk Import
To bulk import in S3 bucket you can follow the below link:

Regards

How we can upload thousands of videos/ppts to s3 using wpdm, and how we can create individula packages. Also, how we can restrict all the download link page by showing poppup to sign up for not loggedin user. Please suggest steps
After a password reset, I’m served with a page that displays the link “Go to your account dashboard”, however, after a password reset it should say “Go to the login page” because in our case you have to log in.
There is an option in the download manager to send visitors to the dashboard automatically after registration, but we don’t have that activated because we still need to verify the registration first. I thought that it may have something to do with this and that the page after successful password reset with the link “Go to your account dashboard” assumes that you have activated this option.
Since the dashboard page is not available, it displays not only the login box, but also a blue bar on top with “hello” and the bottom with no content.
How can we either get a clean login box, or redirect the user to the proper login page?

I tried [wpdm_packages] instead of [wpdm_category], but that did not fix the page 2 from loading. This shortcode does not go to a page 2; however I don’t need ALL packages.
[wpdm_all_packages login=1 thumb=0 items_per_page="12" jstable=1 order_by="title" order="ASC" cols="title,view_count,download_count|package_size|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title::350px|Size|Categories|Update Date|Download::150px"]
Yeah, thanks but that seems like a lot of work to test on your server. As I stated, this was an issue before with others, I just need some direction. I posted my shotcode above. I am using items_per_page and also paging. The help page does not include paging, so I tried with and without. Also your link did not work to a demo. I went here: https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/list-packages/.
The difference between yours and mine, is mine is going to pagination, instead of reloading in page:
Your Demo: https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/list-packages/
My URL when clicking “2” on a shortcode: ../downloads/support-docs/?cp=2
Link to others: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/search/%2F%3Fcp%3D/
Is it from using [wpdm_category] vs [wpdm_packages]? I just need some direction as why to my page is breaking.
Thanks!

not necessarily. You can clone link-template-calltoaction4.php to create a copy of that template from wp-admin menu ► downloads ► templates and update texts, then use the new template with your shortcode.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
In that case please use the [wpdm_tree category=”category-slug” download_link=1] shortcode and it will fulfil your requirement.
Regards
i am using shortcodes on the page [wpdm_tree category=”category-slug”]
you can see on this page. http://aadc.avernisdev.net/index.php/resources/
When i click on any of these links it opens a page with a download button. I want to skip this
Hi, i’ve just purchased and installed Download manager pro but I would like to be able to have the files accessed directly from the link, rather than clicking on the file name, then opening the page with the download information and then clicking download.
Is this possible, i’ve tried linking the files from the media library as well as directly from the server but this doesnt change the behaviour.
Thanks
Hello,
I rebuilt my site last year, re-made all of my several hundred downloads and everything has been working fine until…I’ve updated plugins in the last month or so. I have a new download file to add and I’m getting errors when I try work with this new file, ‘No File Attached With The Package’ if you click the file title or Download button for the new download file I’ve added. The one I’m having trouble with is ‘VRWP Installation Instructions’. You can get to it by clicking on ‘Installation Instructions’ in the head area from this page:
https://www.evenlite.com/downloads/
You can see too, that the icon is not loading correctly either. I know I can go and choose the icon on the file download page, but I’ve not had to to that before.
When I add a new file to link to by clicking ‘Select From Server’ in the dashboard, it says {{path on}} under the file name until I save/update the page and it refreshes. After that, there isn’t anything listed under there. Older files I’ve set up will show the file path to follow.
I know the file is just fine. Here’s a link to it’s direct path:
http://evenlite.com/Downloads/installation-instructions/VRWP-Installation-Instruction.pdf
Do you have any suggestions? Thanks,
Brett
Hi,
Use the shortcode like this:
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page=10 jstable=1 order_by="update_date" order="DESC" cols="page_link,file_count,download_count,description|package_size|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Size|Categories|Update Date|Download::200px"]
Also, did you try using [wpdm_packages] short-code, you can specific link template there and :
[wpdm_packages] – WP_Query in a shortcode for download manager packages
Four specific files were ‘downloaded’ this week that show on the back end but they don’t show in the menu on the front end, unless you do a search for them. Why would that be? For example, this one doesn’t show in the left sidebar under Culinary > Menus & Recipes > ALF Menus
Spring Menu | ALF 2023
I assumed I had the free version, (version 3.2.69) but the response in the Free Forum was this: Hi,It looks like your didn’t some customization there. As it is related to pro, please post here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/
Post Link: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pdfs-not-showing-on-front-end/#post-16568114
I went ahead and purchased the pro version and now I need some guidance. First, do I uninstall the current version (3.2.69) and install the pro version, or is there a way to upgrade? If the pro version comes with tutorials, where do I find those?

Add the css classes wpdm-download-link wpdm-download-locked with attr data-package="{{PACKAGE_ID}}" with your download button, that shall trigger the download modal.
Here is a way to create custom button for a locked package:
<a href="#unlock" class="wpdm-download-link wpdm-download-locked btn btn-success " data-package="{{PACKAGE_ID}}">Button Label or Image here</a>
Replace {{PACKAGE_ID}} with proper package ID.
Hi there! New PRO User. I was wondering if there was a way to load the “button” template via a specific URL.
Kindof like the Master Download Link but that it launches whatever lock options you set on the download setting.
I basically want to use my own button to trigger the download with the “must agree with terms” and “captcha” options but using any button I choose.
Hi,
It is not possible to disable single download page totally. However, you can disable single download page link from link template. You need to replace [page_link] with [title], Doc:

Hello Rita,
Hope you are well. For disallowing crawling by the Search Engine. You can Mask Download Link, If you mask the download link, bots will not be able the find any public download link easily. You are able to find this setting from Downloads > Settings> Basic Settings. please check.
And another way for making disallow Crawling Download Manager Pages on Google, Bing + search engines is, Add the following code at the end of your active theme’s functions.php:

}
}
I hope it may help you. Please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
