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
Hello şükran,
Hope you are well.
For that you have to use the below shortcode
Please check: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_package-single-package-embed-short-code/
Also You have to remove other sections in page template or link template to keep only the download button. As you are using free version of wpdm, you have to follow number 3 here:
Template Files
Thanks
Hello, can not find anywhere and if possible to get a nice scrambled url for document links to share? Like youtube have…
Hello Roth,
Hope you are well. Are you trying to open the download link in a new tab for this shortcode, wpdm_all_packages

Looking to be able to open the resulting “download” from this stock shortcode that displays all packaged in a NEW window/tab.. ie. target=”_blank” but I can not fin anywhere to specify this, or where in the plugin code I might modify it.

Does anyone know if there have been any upgrades or other issues with the plugin?

Hi Nayeem,
Thank you very much, do you know which was the origin of the error?
Apart from that, I have a couple of things I would like to change:
1. Two issues related with the directoy page commented in the following link https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/25898994?key=8689fdb3b11c63207b8919a6a6ad8b00
2. Once you enter into a specific file page, the first info reference is about the “total downloads of the file” (this is it https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/25899777?key=47e8ebdb4773a023565d7482b42a4e46 ) but it is named as “Download” and I think it would be better explained as “Total downloads”, for example. Could I edit this gap name?
Thanks again

Thank you so much… Yes it is ok now.
Also to change this word for all recodrs at the same time we need to update this file:
download-manager/src/Package/PackageController.php
$link_label = (trim($link_label) === ”) ? __(“xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”, “download-manager”) : $link_label;
and
$post_vars[‘link_label’] = $post_vars[‘link_label’] ? $post_vars[‘link_label’] : __(“xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”, “download-manager”);
Thanks again Nayeem

Hi, it’s annoying but sometime I get ’Invalid download link’ as a result from the notification emails url link, why? It’s wpdm packages that works.
Best regards
Thomas
Hello Gergi,
Hope you are well. For changing the download link label, you have to change it from your package settings as I image attached,

please check
Thank you and regards
Hello @italcolven,
Please make sure you are using the latest version of wpdm that is 6.1.5
If you using this, you should be able to see some pre-built templates like below:
Templates
In the link template list, the template you need is the Link Group
which template ID is link-template-bsthumnail
Just use the template id for the template parameter in shortcode.
Thanks
Hi. We are still getting the error. Below is a code snippet from the functions.php file from our template for your review. maybe you can see something I cannot.

function directLinkCrypt($params, $content = “”)
{
extract($params);

$filedata = get_post_meta($params[‘id’], ‘__wpdm_files’);
if(is_array($filedata[0])):
foreach($filedata[0] as $file):
$filepath = $file;
endforeach;
endif;
//var_dump($filepath);
$ind = (!empty($filepath)) ? “&ind=” . \WPDM\__\Cryp::Encrypt($params) : “”;
if(\WPDM\Package::isLocked($params[‘id’]))
$linkURL = get_permalink($params[‘id’]);

Hello @Amanda,
Yes WPDM Block Hotlink add-on will help you to block hot links to download URLs from external sites. Any such request will be redirected to the item details page or any other page specified by you.

However, You can also provide temporary admin access of your website in a private reply to check the issue further.

Hello Majid,
Hope you are well. Are you still want to bulk apply to the default download page and link templates? if you are feeling unhappy, I can provide you with a code snippet too. But in such a case, it could be a long code snippet. please let me know
Thank you and regards
