Hello,
Got the issue. So actually the issue is from the shortcode [wpdm_archive_flat template=”link-template-card” cols=3 login=1]
To overcome this, You have to first set the Hide Everything
from the admin panel > settings page.
Then You have to edit ..\plugins\wpdm-archive-page-main\src\Templates\Flat\views\flat.php
Here you will see hide_empty' ► false
in line 5. Just make the false into true
.
Then please check if it works so that it will hide the empty categories.
Second Step:
If it works, then you just make that false as updating plugin will remove the editing. In this case, you have to create a custom template change to keep the edits.
Please follow the following steps to edit a template file so that the new update doesn’t erase your changes:
Create a dir path download-manager/wpdm-arhive-page/****
inside your active theme directory if it is already not there. Here replace ****
with Flat
,,
Copy flat.php
file what you need to modify. You simply need to change false into true to keep the changes, even if wpdm directory addon is updated.
Thanks
Hello,
As requested, we have set the “Only Block Download Link” option from the dropdown. Please see it here: https://prnt.sc/iq9Ret5ctC9S.
By setting that option, it displays like this: https://prnt.sc/sJj850JpBWnK which we don’t need. What we need is when the package is not assigned to the user, it shouldn’t be displayed along with the category and thus, we have set the option named “Hide Everything” from the admin panel > settings page.
When it is set, it displays only the packages that are assigned to the user like this: https://prnt.sc/SzwGY2g_-FRC. But it doesn’t get rid of the categories, it still shows all the categories though they (categories) or the packages within the categories aren’t assigned to the user. I hope this will make sense.
Also, we are using the following shortcodes:
[wpdm_search_result init=0 template="link-template-panel" cols=3]
[wpdm_archive_flat template=”link-template-card” cols=3 login=1]
Thank you.

Hello Robert,
Hope you are well. Do you want to get a package sharing link or download link URL? please elaborate on these requirements. And please check, you have also a chance to generate a download URL link from this option as I image attached,

please let me know
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
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:

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
