Hi Nayeem,
The link can be found here: https://clearweld.com/documentation-and-white-papers/
On this page, when a user clicks the title of the document (such as “A Competitive Advantage Through Innovation”) it opens the package page (https://clearweld.com/download/a-competitive-advantage-through-innovation/) instead of the actual PDF itself. Is it possible to make the title link behave line the Download button on the right-hand side. When a user clicks the download button the PDF opens in a new tab which is the functionality that we were hoping to achieve.
I guess another alternative would be to disable the title link altogether and only make the download button be the active link. Does that make sense?
Thanks os much!
Currently, there are 2 options available (1) hide everything (2) block download link
If you need any customisation, please visit https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/custom-upgrade-service/
I have been using this for a couple of years, but it stopped working recently. When you click on the link, nothing happens.
When it was originally setup, i followed the instructions here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/how-to-add-modal-popup-login-form-in-your-wordpress-site/
And yes it is enabled in front end settings, [wpdm_login_form] is already on the login page and selected in front end settings.
Like i said earlier. I have been using this for a couple of years and it recently stopped working.

Hello,
Unfortunately the direct download link template tags will not work with title and icon in locked packages in link template.
It will work only with packages that are not locked.
Hope you understand.
Thanks
We have purchased the Download Manager Pro with the WPDM Directory Add-on. We have been able to make the links from the “download” button successfully open in a new tab but the link for the title of the document still opens the package page. Can you please point me in the direction of how to change that?
I assume we need to follow the template instructions (https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/) but I don’t know exactly which files we should actually be editing.
Thanks for your help!

Hello everybody,
somehow i can not link the downloadbutton of the formlock e-mail to the download, the customer is supposed to get. What do i do?
Hello Rulz,
Glad to see you again.
1. You can add the shortcode in post, page, text editor in page builder.
2.The file info page can be disabled from link template. Just need to remove the url template tag to download link template. You can copy the default link template by providing any name as like default_new then replace [page_url] with [title] to show title without links. You can use [download_url] to output the exact link that download button does. If you can’t make it workable, just let me know.
Thanks
Thanks Tanvir,
The page template was default, I’ve made sure the link template is too, unfortunately the problem still persists.
Please see URL below
Please let me know if you require admin access and I will allow.
Many thanks, James

Hello,
Thanks for providing access.
1. Created a new template as default_new then replace [page_url] with [title] to show title without links, then added direct download link there using [download_url], removed the [file_count] tag. SO the shortcode is now [wpdm_archive_filter items_per_page="10" template="default_new" cols=1 colspad=1 colsphone=1] However, you can always compare my changes with default link template file.
2. Modified the Categories to Languages and Tags to Product Line from {active-theme} > download-manager > wpdm-archive-page > filter > sidebar.php. Remember to keep a backup of these before updating theme to keep changes.
However, In the download test page I have added that shortcode and working fine. As I default text editor there, maybe layout is changed. Sorry for that unintentional changes, I hope you can modify or create a new page according to your requirements with the shortcode.
Regards.
Tanvir

Hi team,
Loving the plugin so far.
However when I enable password lock the button to download doesn’t appear (please see attached images)
I have worked out that if I deselect password lock, and remove the button radius in settings, the download link will appear.
I’m unsure how to fix so any help would be appreciated, thanks!


Hi, I need to block the download of files until the user completes a Gravity form. I have the Form Lock add-on. I have selected the relevant form which has the hidden field added with the value [wpdm_package_id].
The problem is that when I click on the download link I get a page with the following message
& mdash; Downloading is not allowed & mdash;
can you help me?
I use email lock to allow downloads.
I am reporting a problem with the performance of [wpdm_package] shortcodes.
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_package-single-package-embed-short-code/
When adding single package id shortcode onto a post, there is a hyperlink to the package download page, and the download button is also available directly from the post, so it allows me to download without visiting the package download page.
When adding multiple shortcodes onto one post, suddenly the link to the package is no longer clickable. The download button is still intact and works fine.
Please fix it so that link to the package remains even if I add multiple shortcodes onto a post.
Hello Sid,
You can check our shortcodes to make a list of downloads. Also check the demos of specific shortcodes. You can also use any of the pre-built link template of your choice.
Then when user clicks on the download button, that will be started downloaded.
Thanks
I can change now with your suggestion the button appear with shortcode.
a.wpdm-download-link.wpdm-download-locked.btn.btn-primary.btn-lg
