Hello Andrea,
Are you trying to bind the packages to the categories, For Category access and package roles please follow the below steps as I describe below,
Before 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 Allow Access option or have to give a particular role on it like as I image attached or as usual for 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 now. please let me know
Thank you and regards
I’m sorry I should have added, here’s what I have now for a shortcode, it’s in ascending order but I’m guessing that is listed by order of how it’s added to the downloads. I need it to be alphabetical.
[wpdm_packages categories="installation-instructions" order_by="title" order="asc" items_per_page="200" template="customevenlitelinktemplate" cols=4 colspad=2 colsphone=1]
https://www.evenlite.com/downloads/
Thanks!

WordPress: 5.9

Clicking on the generate download link or email download link icons beneath a package does not make the relevant dialog appear. Any idea what the solution may be?

Hello Peter,
Hope you are well. Do you want the View and Download button feature for your PDF files as you share the link? please let me know
Thank you and regards
I’m using a filter plugin (LSCF Custom Filter). I need to call the download url so I can display the WPD download button into a custom template. The plugin requires a custom tag in order to call data from other plugin as shown below. I’m not a programmer and have not figure out how to modify the code below to call the download url. Can you help me?
add_action( ‘lscf_custom_tags’, ‘lscf_custom_tags_get_acf_fields’ );
function lscf_custom_tags_get_acf_fields( &$args ) {
$post_id = (int) $args[‘ID’];
$acf_value = get_field( ‘my_field’, $post_id );
$args[‘acf_field’] = $acf_value;
}
I need the custom tag to insert the download url in my custom download button:
“a class=”wpdm-download-link download-on-click btn btn-primary ” download=”” rel=”nofollow” href=”#” data-downloadurl=”{{post.acf_field}}”>Download”
Dear Nayeem,
Yes. A Link Template:
I have started a Link Template: NHS Direct File Download
But, I can’t get the Link Template to be inline with the text with a paragraph as displayed in the graphic:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12BMxr_kq921gz7FuOuvcErLV1R24LnoA/view
Can this effect be achieved? I have a feeling it can’t because each Link Template is surrounded by the “w3eden” DIV container.
Let me know.

Hello Sean,
Is possible only the download button there, or do you want a link-template and the output there for related packages? please let me know, if it possible
Thgank you and regards
Plugin is updated, but when I expand the accordion on my site every single download just appears as “card_link_no_icon.php”
Any ideas how to fix?
Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
1) Yes the addon will work like the demo for pdf with a view button and download button.
2)Google drive files dont show file types as file types are created by wpdm only if you upload files to your website whereas google drive only sends download link without any file type info
3, 4, 5, 6) will not show as you are using google drive to select the file. Just upload the mp3 file using wpdm.
7) video, mp3 are possible to play using template tag. pdf is possible to preview using pdf viewer addon.
8) You have to use template tag and edit page template to show icon in package.
9) For other videos, you have to create other packages.
Thanks

Hi there,
Is there posibility to change data field for date “update_date” to show not only date buth date and time?
I want to add a time of file update along side date. Is it possible?
To be more precisse I have a tabular view of file in this shortcode
*************
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="10" categories="prigovori," jstable=1 order_by="update_date" order="DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|update_date|download_link" colheads="Наслов|Датум постављања::120px|Преузми::80px"]
*************
How to change this shortcode in order to see a time along side of date?
I do not need this to be seen on whole website, just for some particular pages and tables…
Hope you understand what I want to do.
Regards,
Branislav
Hi @teckman57,
Greetings and Welcome to the support forum.
Currently, it’s not possible to fetch files from the child category by using [wpdm_all_packages].
However, you can use the [wpdm_packages] instead. More details can be found in the below link.
[wpdm_packages] – WP_Query in a shortcode for download manager packages
Thanks.
Basically, favourite option is related to [fav_button]
template tag, you shall find it here,
Template Tags
when you will use it in your page/link-template, then it will show the favourite packages in MY FAVOURITES option in the user dashboard
Favourites and histories both are available in dashboard when you use [wpdm_user_dashboard fav=1 flaturl=0]

Hello,
you have to use either wpdm upload file or select from media. You can not change from one to another after uploading.
Also, by selecting from media, the download link become direct.
If you checked “Open in browser” option in wpdm settings you need to uncheck it to download the file instead of opening in the browser.
If it doesn’t fix the issue, you have to use only the wpdm upload option instead of media library to make the files downloadable.
Hope you understand.
Thanks
Hi Truong,
The link of the document title is back now here,
https://bsdinsight.com/download-tai-lieu/
I have used page_link
instead of title
here, please let me know if it resolves your issue
Thank you and regards
I used the shortcode in your link, I removed categories=”slug1,slug2,…” and login=1 thumb=1. You can get my result https://bsdinsight.com/download-tai-lieu/
But the problem I have here is that the link of the document title is no longer available, and I don’t know how to solve it.
You can see my picture attached so you can understand and help me get the title’s link back
