I am using a link template to display downloads.
On the frontend, the actual download link (from the [page_link] placeholder) is correct, eg:
https://my.test.site/download/handi-app-materials
However, the link to the download category (from the [categories] placeholder) is not correct. It works, but is not correct as it includes “news” in the slug, eg:
https://my.test.site/news/downloads/campaign-resources
It should be just: https://my.test.site/downloads/campaign-resources
In the main WP permalinks settings, the structure is set to: “/news/%postname%”. This is where the “news” bit is coming from, but why are the wpdm category slugs using this post structure?
In WPDM settings, the category base is set to just: “downloads”.
Is there a snippet of code I can add to the functions file to correct this or is it a problem in the plugin?
Thanks
That’s the problem. I can no longer find that link. That’s what I’m asking you to help me find. I used to see it on the page for each download. I would hover, right click and I would have the link. That no longer works.
Just Share me the link of the download package of your website which you are talking about.
Hi,
Please check now the add-on download link has been added to your order note.
You can now download it.
Let me know how it goes.
Hi Nayeem,
I’m good thanks and hope you are too.
Thanks, but is there a way to do this through an import file? We ideally would want to add links to the files in the spreadsheet and then after the import, each file would download to the user’s computer, rather than open as an attachment.
Or can this only be done by manually going into each download and using the ‘Select from Server’ button?
Thank you
Hello Fábio Cordeiro,
If you are using the free version, you can edit it from this directory,
download-manager\src\Package\views\link-templates
for the related
Call to Action 3 Link Template, for editing the link template you can use these template tags,
Template Tags
And for making backup for the next updates, you can follow this doc,
Template Files
I hope this may help you
Thank you and regards
Hello Terry,
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
Hope you have understood. And The feature is actually for packages, selected roles will be applied to assigned packages, and the information I have given above. Thanks for your understanding and appreciation.
Thank you and regards
Thanks, but at the given link you can download version 4.4.3 and not 4.4.4.
Please upload the 4.4.4.

[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="30" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title|download_link|categories" colheads="Title|Download|Partner"]
Thx. We will test this.
Can you also tell me something about opening downloads in a new browser window? I know it works in some layouts, but not in the table form as we have it:
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="30" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title|download_link|categories" colheads="Title|Download|Partner"]
Glad to hear this, your problem has been resolved. I have adjusted your issue from your custom link-template for your package and in your created custom link-template CSS panel, I have just put .w3eden { display: contents; }
and also adjusted your page texts <p>
tag to <div>
tag. Thus, it is okay now. However, If you get some free moments, Can you please give us a 5* here and add your valuable review about our plugin, it will inspire us a lot.
Have a good day!
Hello,
Sorry to hear about the issue. I think you have misunderstood the feature.
Direct download button will not work for another visitor as it has security reasons.
Visitor has to input password when he will click the download button and if someone wants to share download link, he has to share the download package link like http://localhost.com/downloads/testmovie/
If you use list downloads using shortcodes, then you have to input password before clicking download too.
I hope you have understand.
Thanks
Hi @palelearn,
Thank you for your query.
Well, if you migrate then it should not affect the links.
However, you can check our bulk import feature as well regarding this.
Bulk Import
Let us know if you have any questions regarding this.

Hi
We are using your download plugin and have a query. We are planning to migrate our website to another server. Will the links for the images stored thru your plugin get affected and do we need to again set up/update the links in the new server? Please let us know.
Thanks
Hello Daniel,
Sorry for not understanding properly about the template tag. The template tag you can use in any page/link templates from the Downloads > Templates
section, if you are using the PRO version, you will be able to see details of it. And after using it within any link-template you will be able to use any of your shortcode parameters. I hope you have understood now. And do you want to show the view button for the wpdm_all_packages
shortcode too, please let me know.
Thank you and regards
Great, thanks Humayon!

Hello,
Hope you are well.
Could you please show me an example of the gallery what you are looking for?
You can use like this demo by following the below shortcodes.
[wpdm_carousel category="category-id" autoplay=1 nav=1 dots=1 wrap=1 items_per_page=4 items_total=8 template="link-template-id"]
More details can be found here.
The best solution for you is the Directory Addon.
WPDM Directory Add-on
Using it you can show your categories in the sidebar which will be used to filter categorised downloads. Then on the right side, you can display your downloads/packages. Please check the demo here https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/archive-page-flat/ The template in the demo doesn’t have the file preview but you can also display the preview using a custom link template.
Thanks.
Thank you.
