Hello everyone.
I would like to link an image on my website to a download. This should be protected by “Agree to Terms” and “E-Mail-Lock”.
is this possible? If yes, how?
Thank you and best regards

Hello Oliver A,
The download packages are showing, because, they are conflicting with the download packages allow access
option. 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
Hope you have understood. Thanks for your appreciation.
Regards
If you set All Visitors
to Allow Access
, the download link will be public and everyone will be able to download it. Otherwise, only select roles will be able to download.
Please check the doc here:

Please set the value of order_by “publish_date” or “update_date”
And in the ‘cols’ you have to use the exact same value.
Exmple :
[wpdm_all_packages thumb=1 items_per_page="20" jstable=1 order_by="publish_date" order="DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|publish_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Date|Download::155px"]

Hello Nayeem,
the provided link does give the desired functionality. Therefore, we´ve bought the directory Add-on, but we are unable to use the plugin. It is properly installed, but we don´t find the building block in the Gutenberg Editor and the provided shortcodes with brackets won´t work at our side.
Our existing page uses shoprtcodes like this:
<!– wp:download-manager/datatable {“include_children”:true,”cols”:”title,version,package_size|categories|update_date|tags|icon|download_link”,”colheads”:”Title|Categories|Release|Language|Type|Download”,”template”:”link-template-default.php”} /–>
Could you please help us out? Thanks!

We have set up a simple login page. As soon as this is linked in the settings (Settings > Frontend Access), it is no longer displayed correctly. Also the “Modal” setting does not work right – the logo is missing.
To track the Issue we did a fresh install without any styling & plugins. The issue remained (see pictures).



Elementor Pro: version 3.7.2
Hello Theme: Version: 2.6.1
Wordpress: version 6.0.1
Download Manager: version 6.2.1
SO,
all files online – but no link is working
no direct, no master nothing!”
no locks actiated…….
Thank you Nareen. How do I remove the link from the TITLE of the download. I don’t want it to redirect to a page I just want the download button.

Hi Nayeem,
Additionally I can find this same issue on the Private Message Demo, when you try to delete messages from the [Private_Message] short-code. It will delete. But when the page is refreshed, the message will come back and not delete properly. I don’t think this widget is properly updating to the database. I can see this is still evident on my staging site, the message will delete on the front end, but when you look at “all messages” through the WordPress Dashboard, the messages are not deleting, this is what is causing the counting issue.
You can see this through this link

Hello Austin,
Do you like similar appearance like here the below link,
https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/advanced-search-left/
It is related to this add-on,
WPDM Directory Add-on
please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
Hi Nayeem,
Sorry I think maybe I wasn’t clear. With template tags and shortcodes, doesn’t this mean I would need to create a separate WordPress page for each category? I want to avoid the need to create 50+ pages.
This link is quite close to what I’m trying to achieve:
https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/archive-page-compact/
There is a dropdown that lets you filter between categories. I’d like this but instead of a dropdown I would have it as a menu in the sidebar.
I’m wondering if this is possible with any of your add-ons? Or if not, is there a way to do this by editing template files?
Thank you
