I am setting up Amazon S3 plugin and testing with test product, an MP4 video file.
I click on attach for the product file.
It shows the link in the product admin side.
I go to preview product page and click download and it ends up playing the file instead of downloading.
Is there a setting I am missing to make it download instead automatically playing the video file?
And, it shows the actual URL that it is being downloaded from, is there a way to protect that link URL from being visible?
Hello @breldan,
Have you checked the below shortcode for direct download link?
[wpdm_direct_link] – Embed direct download link as a simple text link
However, you can also make direct download link by editing link template with different template tags.
In example, if you use [download_url] as the download link in the button, then it will start downloading directly.
If the issue still persists, please share related links to check also provide me admin access in a private reply. So that I can do it for you.
Thanks

Hello Sean Thornton,
For link-templates you can keep only [title] in your template for package title, you can also clone a link template from your Downloads > Templates section, adjust it and apply it for packages thereby. please let me know if you have more queries
Thank you and regards
Hi,
After the upgrade, our previous links and new downloadlinks for multiple files in 1 package is not working,
Only the individual links (single file in a package) is working.
Please help.

Hello Hayeem,
The URLs so far are:

But I would like to complete disable the title link to the Post Type and have users click the Title link to download instead; is this possible?
Best regards

Dear WPDM,
WordPress: 5.8.3
WPDM: 6.1.2
WPDM Directory Add-on: 4.4.1
PHP: 8.0.13
Is there a way, either via custom-functions.php code, or a setting, or a add-on, whereby I can disable the package title link to the package Post. I would like users to download the package directly from the Call-To-Action button as well as the Package Title.
Is this possible?
Best regards,
Sean
Hi @Robertwikholm,
You can update files from the file list of any package from the attached file list.
You will just remove the old file from there then reupload the newer and keep the file name same. In this way you can add newer version number there.
If you want to show only directory url, then either you have to add files by using SELECT FILES FROM SERVER or SELECT FROM MEDIA LIBRARY.
Also you can use the below shortcode to make direct download links for any packages.
[wpdm_direct_link] – Embed direct download link as a simple text link
Hope you understand.
Thank you
Hello Sten,
Hope you are well. Do you want to activate the download link to an image as I share the link here?

Hi there,
I have updated the plugin to the latest free version(kept the old version as backup zip file in the plugin directory) and it seems all downloads are present. Here’s the reference screenshot.
However, your subscription is over that’s why the download plugin button is not present in the dashboard link I have shared before.

Hello Pierre,
I have found the issue for Download Button Color and Link Label issue of the All Download Table shortcode. Soon you shall be updated
Thank you and regards
I dont have the Pro version. I bought it some years back. On the reference link you have shared, I can’t see any download plugin button also.
Hi Nayeem,
Thanks for helping me with the link label issue.
Unfortunately I’m working on a private development site so I won’t be able to send you the link for issue one (re: permission-denied txt file). I was wondering if this may be an issue you have encountered before and if so – you’d be able to help out without a link anyways.
Just to provide some extra detail, the txt file is titled “permission-denied” and contains the following error message:
You don’t have permission to download this file
Thank you in advance.

Dear Nayeem,
Thnx for your quick response. In parallel I found out that using [WPDM_..] shortcode at the action buttons caused the problem. After replacing the shortcode by a copy of the download link, the downloads are executed properly.
Kind regards,
Jacqueline.
