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.
In reply to: Download link doesn’t work for entire zip file.
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 Friends,
I’ve created a very small package with 2 files.
word & pdf.
I can download them separately, but when I try to press on the external download link, I get a file not found message instead of zip.
Can you please advise?Thanks Raphael
Hey, I feel beyond stupid at this point cause I feel like I must be missing something incredibly stupid by now.
We have a site we are building using Divi. On that site they have need for direct download links for their users. You can view it here: http://serumdev2.com/members-forms/ . (Ignoring everything under the subtitle “Registration Forms” as that is where I am trying everything to fix this issue.)
I think it’s simple and have used [wpdm_direct_link id="Package ID"] with each of the respective ID’s. The problem is that all of these are opening into a new tab.
I have checked your settings and there is one that says “Open in Browser” which is turned off so that shouldn’t be causing the issue. I am not using target=”_blank” which should cause this effect.
I have no idea if I am somehow using your plugin wrong or if there is some other conflict going on and I simply need it confirmed. Am I using this plugin correctly by just placing the shortcode [wpdm_direct_link id="Package ID"] into my module and that SHOULD have the file be directly downloaded rather than open in a new tab.
If so, it means I simply need to find the conflict elsewhere. If not, then please inform me how I am managing to screw this up.
Thanks for your assistance.

In reply to: FrontEnd missing custom fields
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 textI 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.
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.
In reply to: Setup – IMAGE HOVER
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.

In reply to: Download refreshes site…
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
TanvirHello 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!
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.
Topic: SHOW ONLY 2000 PACKAGES
Hi, I have 2800 packages and but with shortcode [wpdm_all_packages login=1 thumb=1 items_per_page="20" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Download::155px"] show only 2000 packages
In reply to: Skip Single File Page
Hello,
You can use the below shortcode for single package.
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/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.
