Hello David S,
I have checked your issue and found that you have checked some categories too within your packages and some categories you have checked for the All visitor
role. 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
What is the advantage of buying Paid Plugin that we can’t control the styling of page, link, and email templates? Also, at many places download manager logo is loading. Isn’t it enough that we pay a yearly subscription and still have to market your plugin to our customers, who have nothing to do with your product?
Are you providing a free service to help us manually replace the image in your plugin directory on every plugin update?
Hello Jacqueline,
Thanks for contacting us.
Please use the shortcode like below. You can copy/paste to use:
[wpdm_tree download_link=1 category="other-department-forms" cat_orderby="name" cat_order="asc"]
I hope it will work properly then.
Let us know for further assistance.
Thanks
Hello xeill,
If you are trying to give a conditional-based template tag display with PHP, then you can try to edit/create a new template file from download-manager\src\Package\views\page-templates/link-templates
this directory. And for making a backup for the next update, you can follow this doc,
Template Files
please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
Hello Tanir,
Thank you for your reply..
I tried several things.. I stopped all plugins, as well as used several themes , and the problem still persists.
In fact, only one of these two plugins the tag or links works.
The plugins are:
– Document Library Pro
– Download Manager
When I disable one of them (Plugin) the tag works!!
There is a conflict, I don’t know from where?!!
I send this message to you and to other company. I hope that we find the problem and fix it.
Thank
Hi Tanvir,
Thank you for your timely response.
We do want to be in Google, etc., searches because we do have pages with download files that are available for the public.
Here is one such page: https://saarna.org/static-99/
If you click on a file name, it goes to the page created by the page template:
https://saarna.org/download/%f0%9f%92%a5static-99r-static-2002r-barr-2002r-training-guidelines-march-2021-2/
We don’t need, nor want these pages. How do I disable them?
We simply want a page with files listed and a download button next to each file.
I know that I can pass “title” as the parameter instead of “page_link” and this disables the link in the file title, but this does not prevent download manager from creating the page template page. I know this because when I am on a page template page, there are arrows that allow me to traverse through the page template pages.
So, how do I disable page template pages?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Jill

Hello,
It is visible in Google, so I assume that is the main reason you want to disable it.
making disallow Crawling Download Manager Pages for Google, Bing + search engines, Add the following code at the end of your active theme’s functions.php
:
function noindex_for_wpdm()
{
if ( is_singular( 'wpdmpro' ) ) {
echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">';
}
}
I hope it may help you.
For further assistance, please also share related links of your website to check the issue closely and give you a solution quickly.

How do I access the download area?

Hi Nayeem,
sorry for the delay!
The link template “template_solo” seems to be the right one.
How can I use it? In the download page there is just the page-template dropdown.

Hello
In the list of plugins on my site it was still saying Downloader Pro support expired, when I clicked the upgrade link it took me to your site, where I copied the license key and then pasted it into the plugin on my site, then it said it was registered and active again. I think the license key was the same it seemed to need me to update it anyway before it activated again properly.
So it looks like as you said the order was active but for some reason my installation did not pick it up until I forced it to update by refreshing the license key.
Hello,
May I ask for your help, please? I have two problems I couldn’t fix.
1.)
Not sure, when the issue started, but I got a message from a visitor that files cannot be downloaded from our site. I tried to find out, what’s the problem and noticed if there is an apostrophe in the title, cannot be downloaded anymore. This wasn’t an issue previously, as I always try to download everything at the release.
I do not want to rename files. At first, because I have many assets and don’t want to waste my time. And these files are used by another plugin as well, so if I change the names, I have to re-link quite a few assets… Secondly, because these are titles, and looks unprofessional and lame to have don_t instead of the don’t, for example.
2.)
The translation for the pagination is not working. I cannot translate the “Previous” and “Next” words. I asked for help and was told that the string is not working…
Could you please fix these problems?
Hello,
Thanks for contacting us.
To show templates like these, you have to set link templates for these. You will find that there are already some link templates created by default. You can check from Downloads > Templates > Link Templates
. Then you can show all downloads using shortcodes with template
parameter of wpdm
Please check details here:
Link Template
template tags are supported by link and page templates. You can show any contents dynamically on link templates by adding template tags from below:

Hello, I am trying to download the pro version I purchased and the link it gives me installs what appears to be and older version of the plugin.
It says download manager pro 6.2 but the layout looks really old, the blocks dont work right, etc.
Hello,
That is a template tag that works only on link/page templates. Check here for all tags.
Shortcodes are separate codes. You can check here.
You have to replace [download_link]
with [download_url]
in used page/link template to open those links in new tab as [download_link]
template tag already Returns Package Download Link HTML in same page.
Let us know for further assistance.

Hi,
we are trying to use the shortcode [publish_date] within the link-template-default.php, but this shortcode is not working. But [update_date] is working without problems ..
We are using these shortcodes:
[wpdm_all_packages] – List all downloads in tabular format in a page
Hello,
Great. I now use only the shortcode ‘[download_link]’.
It’s connected to a button style.
How can I integratie the target blank in this shortcode?
Hello,
Thanks for contacting us.
[file_list] is a template tag, not a shortcode. It will work only with link/page template.
Currently the feature to sort [file_list] template tag is not available.
However, you can request this feature here We continuously try to add new features.
Maybe we could add this feature in the future versions of wpdm.
Regards
Tanvir
