Yes, I understand, from that drop-down menu you can block both the download and the link. In the latter case, the user with that role does not see the other files, dedicated to other roles.
Thank you!
1. User role is selected and the related users are NOT able to see the download packages. The set user role (investorgeprueft) is the only user role allowed to see the packages, so I cannot change it to anything else.
2. When I specify an individual user, it works and the package I added (“Test”) shows for the selected user. But that’s not a feasible way to do it, because we’d have to add several hundred users to this tab each time a new package is added.
Regarding the widget area, I’ll link my screenshot from my inital post again. The categories Audited Reports, Investor Calls etc. are missing from the sidebar. Or rather, the whole sidebar is missing.
If you use other upload options, then there will be no control over the downloads as those are the default wordpress upload features. Those are the direct download links without any additional functions or security. WPDM overrides those if files are uploaded using wpdm. Hope you understand.

Hey Tanvir,
Based on your video you have tested the only thing on that page that doesn’t use your [wpdm_direct_link id="Package ID"] shortcode. Whilst that was frustrating to watch, your other comment has detected the issue.
The direct download is only possible if you upload the file directly into your system, not if you use any of the other options available to grab the document from the existing media library. Since all of our documents where already on the media library, I grabbed their urls.
It would be good if your documentation on this page was updated to include this detail. Having a shortcode that only works as described when you use 1 of the 4 upload methods seems like something that should be stated to not confuse new users.
Cheers, Rhys

Hi
I have a few questions for you:
1. Is there any way I can select a Primary category (if I have more than one)?
2. Is there a way to remove or hide all the provided templates, or ensure our own default link and page templates are selected by default for each package? I’m happy to add a filter to our theme files if necessary.
3. Can you tell me the best way to insert an inline text link to a package? I have found other questions about this but there doesn’t seem to be a conclusive answer. I would like 2 options:
a) To add a link using the package title
b) To add a link to custom text
I created a template using the title and url, but this is being added outside the paragraph that WP has created, and inside a ‘w3eden’ div. I would like it to appear inside the same paragraph as the rest of the text.
[title]
A generic [wpdm_package id=210362 template="text_link_inline"] has been provided.
This displays as:
<p>A generic </p>
<div class=”w3eden”>Example File</div>
<p> has been provided.</p>
I can make .w3eden display inline, but the separate paragraphs are still there.
Thanks for your help.

Yes if you go to the link – http://ibcni.uk.w3pcloud.com and scroll down to the section ‘Downloadable Product Sections’, I have the shortcode in there, but the products aren’t displaying. This is where I want the ‘image hover’ section to go.
#1, For shortcodes, you may check this doc,
Short-codes
#2, You can assign any link-template to any package following this doc,
Link Template
and you are also able to grab certain package shortcodes by clicking the Embed option link as I image attached and also can assign a link-template following this doc,
[wpdm_package] – Single Package Embed Short-code
And #3, And for achieving this page, https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/archive-page-compact/, you have to use this add-on, please check and also the demos,
WPDM Directory Add-on
please let me know if you have more queries.
Thank you and regards
Hello,
Thanks for your purchase of wpdm.
1. The issue is forwarded to the developer team. Soon you will be updated
2. You are using a cache plugin w3cache that may cause the issue. The page currently shown is a cache version. If you deactivate the cache plugin and check the downloads, I hope there will be no reload issue.
However, could you please provide temporary admin access of your website to fix the issues quickly?
3. It can be fixed by adding custom css in link template. Let me know for further assistance. If possible, you can share temporary admin access in a private reply.
Regards
Tanvir

Hello millermultimedia,
Sorry for the confusion and quite misunderstanding If you unmask the download link, bots will be able the find any public download link easily. If you want to hide the public link, you should use Mask Download Link, that information is also given in the settings too. I hope you have understood.
Thank you and regards
Thanks for the quick reply back. I understand the requirements for Google to update their index. From what I am seeing in Google Search Console the issue is that GoogleBot is seeing WP Download Manager links like the following:
https://myurl.com/download/2022-my-document/?wpdmdl=1190&refresh=63518588bddff1666286984
This link is different each time Google indexes the pages on the site because the refresh parameter is different each time they index a page. To Googlebot the link is different and therefor needs to be indexed. Because of this Google says I am currently at 70,000 un-indexed pages, which are all download links to the same 40 PDFs I have in Download Manager. Is there a way in Download Manager to have that one refresh parameter removed from the links being displayed? If not I will look into adding a jQuery function to the site to remove it as it is not needed for the link to work. If the Unmasking Download Link is supposed to remove the parameter it is not working. This is with the latest Download Manager and WordPress.
Thanks!
Hello millermultimedia,
After changing settings you have to wait 0-30 days for no indexing as per google instructions. I hope it will work fine then for the masking Download Link too. I hope you have understood. please check.
Thank you and regards
I am having the same issue. GoogleBot going crazy indexing the same PDFs over and over due to the random refresh parameter being added to the URL. I tried the Unmask Download Link and this did not remove the parameter. I also tried switching to a file uploaded to the WordPress Media library, this did not help. I then tried the Beta feature to activate flat download URL. For both the Download Manager and Media files I get a Page Not Found error. I have tested with the site cache off.Cleared my browser cache.Not sure where to go from here. I do not want to noindex the PDF downloads although may need to for now as Google is putting a significant load on the server from all of the downloading.
Hello,
You can use the below shortcode for single package.
[wpdm_package] – Single Package Embed Short-code
You have to use a link template that will be used in that shortcode. In the link template you have to make sure the download button has the direct download link template tag. For link template and templates tags you can follow this doc.
Here you can check the available built in link templates also you can use them or modify them to use.
Let me know please for further assistance.

Hello,
We’d like to skip the single file page (ie /download/filename/) and download the file(s) instead. These would most likely be links from other pages that have not been rendered within a WPDM shortcode. Is that possible?
Thank you.
