I’m talking about post categories, specifically these features of the plugin from the description (https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wp-pro-membership/):
Post Access Control
Post Access Control
WordPress Membership Plugin adds a simple meta box on the “Edit Pages” screen allowing you to control access to each membership level offered. You can also control Post content via Category.
Custom Post Type Access
Partial Content Access
Control users who should have access to content or who are forbidden to access your content. This option will enable you to make part of the post ( For example the download link ) private.
Partial Content Access
Custom Post Type Access
You can protect and set access to Custom Post Types within your site for different levels of members.
I’m trying to set things up so that
a) logged out users or users without a subscriptions see a “this content is for subscribers only, please log in or sign up” type of message where logged in subscribers see the content
b) certain post categories automatically are restricted to subscribers
Thank you for the response. The template tags doc does not have anything in it, where I can put a separate link in it. ITs all link concerning that document download.
Hello Trevor,
If you are using the free version of WPDM and using the default template, you can edit the link-template-default.php file. you can edit it from download-manager\src\Package\views\link-templates dir. For making backup your file you may follow this doc,
Template Files
And for related template tags, please check this doc,
Template Tags
please let me know, how can I help you more?
Thank you and regards
Hello,
The dropdown filter is not possible to make with link template/page template.
It is based on shortcode.
You can check the shortcodes here available for wpdm:
Short-codes
If you want to show with category filter options, you need the below addon. Please check that and demos:
WPDM Directory Add-on
Thanks
Hello,
With the template tag [popup_link] (this is not a short-code, but a template tag) you can use it with a link or page template if you want to open the package link in a bootstrap modal popup.
Create a custom link template without [download_link] template tag and use [popup_link] instead of [page_link]. You can clone an existing link template and edit on top of it.
However, [wpdm_tree] shortcode doesn’t support custom link template. All you can do with it is to open a new window using parameter newwin=1 For more details please check:
WPDM Extended Short-codes
Thanks
I’m having an issue where registered users have purchased packages for download and their payments have completed but they are not able to download them from the site.
The purchases show on the download dashboard but there is no link I can find either on the page for the individual packages or on the download dashboard to actually download.
Hello,
Thanks for this amazing work, I just have one issue, I hope you can help me.
For one of my client, i’m using the tree shortcaode, but the problem is that he does not want to have to open a new link with the file details, I would like to have the popup with the information you have to give in order to download the file, I tried with the shortcode : download_link=1
But no luck,

I was reading through the forums and found out pretty much how to use the Advance Custom Fields.
I had two issues so far with it though.
I created a Group in the Advance Custom Fields add-on. I have 4 fields in that group.
I copied the Template Tag for the entire group and put it in a page template. The Field titles show up but no data from those fields for a Product/Package page. It created a nice table but no data.
I then copied the custom fields one at a time and then the data shows up.
How do you get the data to show up with putting in the whole group?
Also, I tried to use the shortcode to create a Responsive Table with the “wpdm_all_packages” and the data doesn’t show up there as well.
There was another post here in the support forums where an admin gave this information and said it should work. It doesn’t.
Here is the link to that post here.
Advanced Custom Fields
Can you please help?
Also how often do you guys respond to messages?
I am in Las Vegas, USA and when I just posted this last response it is is January 23, Sunday at 2:09pm my time. I just want to know when the best time to be on here to get faster support.
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,

https://ddics.michaeloglesby.com/publications/

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
Sean
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?
Big Image Download
please check and let me know
Thank you and regards
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.
Regards
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.

Hi,
Auto-install sometimes fails due to auth error or server file permission issue.
However, you can always download any add-on from the below link.

Have a good day!
