We have set up the AWS S3 cloud storage plugin on our website.
The primary use is to offload PDF attachments used in Learndash courses. We use the wpml_direct_link shortcode to display and protect documents so they can be accessed directly in LearnDash courses by eligible students.
For new packages everything appears to be working as expected. New files we add to Download Manager are saved to S3, and they work as expected when linked to the course with wpml_direct_link.
We have then set up auto-sync to offload our existing download packages to the same S3 bucket. When the cron job is active, this works and it begins to offload the files with the oldest first.
However, when we try to access the offloaded existing documents we get an XML ‘Access Denied’ message in the browser window.
What extra steps are needed to allow existing packages to be used with the wpml_direct_link shortcode?
Hi, I have a shortcode that looks like this:
[wpdm_all_packages login=1 thumb=1 items_per_page="20" categories="meeting-materials" jstable=1 order_by="publish_date" order="DESC" cols="title|categories|publish_date|download_link" colheads="Title::80%|Categories|Publish Date|Download::155px"]
I’d like to be able to display files by date, such that I want to publish everything from 2024, or publish everything before 2024. Is this something we can do with your shortcodes? If not, do you have a solution?
Thanks!
Brendan
Thank you for providing this documentation, but these do not seem to work in a link-template which I’ve put in our themes folder.
(e.g. wp-content/{our-theme}/download-manager/link-templates/link-template-custom.php )
Are we only allowed to use the predefined shortcodes or can php functions be used?
I have been using Download Manager Pro since November 2022, it has always worked very well but the last few months users are notifying me that when they go to download some material and enter the email to send them the download link, this link does not reach them.
I have checked and indeed, it does not work and no email arrives.
I would like to know how to solve it, thank you.

Currently, there are no available filters to fetch ACF repeater links in the all_packages shortcode.

For unique URL/link for each document, the locked packages single file download option will not be visible. And while downloading the package it will give a zip file for all files for the related packages. I hope yu have understood. Please kindly check.
Thank you and regards
I’m not sure what you mean. As I have already explained multiple times, I would like:
1. The user to only have to fill out the form once.
2. A unique URL/link for each document.
I don’t particularly care how that’s set up, as long as it works.
We’ve decided because of the short timeline to try to set everything up within one package: https://www.valtris.com/download/esg-highlights/. This allows me to download one of the individual files the first time I fill out the form and click “Download”, but every time I click “Download” after that – even for one of the individual files rather than the big “Download” button at the bottom – it gives me a .zip of all of the files.
I don’t expect this will be able to be fixed before our go-live. However, I am very disappointed that this plugin is so buggy and the features don’t work as advertised.
I tried what your screenshot showed, and that only gives me a download link for the whole package, not for individual files. The generated link seems to be time-limited, and when I go to it and click “Download” it does not show me the form. So this feature is of no help to me at all.
Yes, we would like a different URL for each file in the same package. I noticed there is a link for each document that I can copy on the Edit page for the package (like this one, for example: https://www.valtris.com?wpdmdl=3801&ind=1734739534750), but when I go to it, it just says I don’t have access to the file. It doesn’t show the form or any way for the user to gain access. So that doesn’t work for us. We want the user to immediately be able to see the download they want. Even an anchor link would be helpful.
So the link I sent you before, https://www.valtris.com/about/corporate-social-responsibility/esg-highlights/, has all of the documents that a user should be able to download once they fill out that form. I set each of those up as its own package so that we could have unique URLs for each file. What we want to have happen is, on that page, when the user clicks “Download”, they fill out the form. After they have filled out the form once, they can click any of the other “Download” buttons to download another document WITHOUT having to fill out the form again.
Or, in other words, if a user downloads the document on https://www.valtris.com/download/supplier-code-of-conduct/, they should also be able to download the document on https://www.valtris.com/download/life-cycle-analysis-esg-highlight/ without filling out the form again.
If the way I set it up does not work, we are open to other options, but we need a solution where:
1. The user only has to fill out the form once.
2. We can have unique URL/link to each document.
So filling the form once only works per package, not per form? When we tested the demo, entering an email address once allowed us to download multiple files. It looked like the Form Lock worked the same way. It is an absolute necessity that users only need to fill out the form once. It would be really irritating for them to have to fill them out each time. We also need a way to link to each of the files individually. It looked like the easiest way to do that was to set each up as its own package. Please let us know how we can configure things so that users only have to fill out the form once and so that we can have URLs for downloading each individual document.
The site URL is https://www.valtris.com/. I shared two URLs related to this issue in the previous post:
This page is set up to email the download link: https://www.valtris.com/download/corporate-sustainability-policy/
This one is not: https://www.valtris.com/download/eccles-esg-highlight/
Hello!
We are trying to use the Form Lock add-on with Gravity Forms. The form shows up correctly when the download link is clicked, but there is no way to download the files afterwards. We would prefer for the download to begin automatically on form submission, but I can’t even get it to send an email with the download link.
Furthermore, I changed the settings so that the form should only show once in a session, but every page I click the Download link on shows me the form. We would like users to only have to fill in the form once.
This page is set up to email the download link: https://www.valtris.com/download/corporate-sustainability-policy/
This one is not: https://www.valtris.com/download/eccles-esg-highlight/
Could you please help me get this configured correctly? This is supposed to go live before the holidays.
Thank you!!!
Thank you very much for your continued support!
I’m currently building a library with approximately 5,000 documents and am trying to create a dynamic, automated Elementor template similar to the one found on the Reqiq Downloads page (https://reqiq.co/downloads/). The template utilizes dynamic tags for fields such as the post title, featured image, post excerpt, and post URL, ensuring it is flexible and reusable across all posts without requiring shortcodes or manual linking with package for each document.
The challenge I’m facing is with the ‘Download’ button. I need it to dynamically link to and trigger the download for the respective file in each post. Currently, templates like the ones used for this (https://reqiq.co/ethiopias-export-future-balancing-reform-and-reality/) and this (https://reqiq.co/insights/) automate most of the UI elements. However, the download functionality has been configured manually by linking each file using a custom field connected to your plugin’s master key links. While this method works, it undermines the scalability and efficiency of using templates.
To summarize, I need a single ‘Download’ button in the Elementor template that automatically downloads the respective file for each post without requiring manual linking. This functionality is essential for maintaining the flexibility and automation of the template.
I hope this explanation clarifies my requirements. Could you please guide me on how to achieve this? Or if the PRO version indeed has this?
Thank you again for your support!
Thank you for responding. But that only shows a pre-made template with the title of the document (linked) and download counts. I’m looking for either just the ‘Download’ button custom key or just the download botton.
Furthermore, all the modules as for ‘Package’ parameters, which is counter intuitive for a custom template, because the idea is the template will fetch the package automatically.
Here’s a temporary access if needed: https://data.reqiq.co/wp-admin/?wtlwp_token=938d851934d290622abc30ee623062cd39d5503da8ff38b3621f86184bd51ee62f962ebee7c7cd7373431236911a5e3b511aa3ec9aeb5368aaa130b98b8c03ed

Thank you!
Hi everyone,
1.I am new in this. Ive uploaded a file and i cannot see the link from download manager to copy and paste into my pages where necessary.
2. If i use the direct link (for example this one: https://empowertruelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/EN-3Day-A-Balanced-Mindset-this-Holiday-Season.pdf ) after i download it does not count my downloads in the downloadmanager.
I hope you can help me out ?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings,

I think you misunderstand my question. I have changed from linking to Mailerlite and I just want the Subscribers in you plugin to tick a box then to be populated by people registering for downloads.
Surely this is the basis of having the Subscriber list as part of your plugin?
The Subsciber section for package email lock, google lock and linkedin lock download users, for more details, you can check the detail here,
Lock Options
Please kindly check and let me know.
Thank you and kind regards

When using the download history and download history on profile links they seem to go to the download page instead of the actual file itself.
For example. If I download image.jpg it will show up in the download history. However if i click on the link to redownload it, it does not redownload image.jpg it takes me to the product page instead. How can this be addressed and fixed.

Hello
I have an issue with the template for the downloads page. I have a template set on the backend but it doesn’t use the one selected and also it shows a Reset Filter issue when I change the shortcode.
I set my custom template to only show the download title and link.
Is this the right shortcode to use?
[wpdm_all_packages login=0 thumb=1 items_per_page="200" categories="A211 May 2024" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link"]
This is the broken template page:
