Hi,
I have created 50+ categories using Download Manager. I have also created a menu for these categories.
I want to create a page with a left column menu, and then a grid of downloads on the right for each category.
If possible I want to avoid having to create a separate WordPress page for each category as this would take longer and be more time-consuming to manage.
My question is, is it possible to do this via template files? For example I would add the shortcode for the menu in this and then also the ‘link template’ I’ve created.
Thank you,
Austin
I have created a link template for WPDM which I have placed in /download-manager/templates/ dir as instructed, however every time I update the plugin the file is deleted. Can I put this template file in my theme files so this does not happen?
Hello alkis lem,
Hope you are well. And sorry for the delay. Are you trying to get the file sizes as I shared the link here,
https://wpdmpro.w3eden.com/download/wpdm-file-sizes/

Thank you and regards
Hi,
I’m trying to display image attachment preview in the Doc Preview template file. The code I have so far is:
<!-- WPDM Template: Single Column with Doc Preview -->
<div class="card mb-3">
<div class="card-body">
<img src="[preview]" />
[doc_preview]
</div>
</div>
<!--- removed file details --->
<div class="card mt-3 mb-3">
<div class="card-body">
[download_link]
</div>
</div>
[description]
The image preview was showing before but now it’s not. I was wondering if there’s something I need to fix in the code?
Also the “[doc_preview]” is not displaying the file preview all the time, it’s inconsistent. How can we approach resolving that?
Thank you for your time/help
Hello. I have Implemented email locked packages on version 6.2.1 using in addition with WPDM – Advanced Custom Fields (2.2.8). With some suscribers I have a message of Invalid download link when they follow the emailed link. Can you refer me to a solution?
after updating the wpdm to the latest version, when someone clicks on the download button it opens a pdf in browser instead of downloading. the open in browser option in settings is unchecked. all files were uploaded directly through wpdm and is not a link to the media libary. how should i fix this?

Use link template – ideally we want to be able to add the short code (as suggested by Tanvir’s example) and make design changes?!
Is there another way of ‘filtering the order’ perhaps?
For example the package titles are ‘sequential’ up to a point but adding these downloads by CSV puts them in reverse order?!
Hello Andrew Beniams,
Do you want to sort category packages using Use Link Template or applying Do Not Apply
Keep current template as it is provided with the active theme option

Hi,
Thank you for writing back to us.
As I see in the screenshot, you are using WPDM V5.4.1, so auto-update may not work with this older version.
Also, the license key may fail as license server parameters are probably changed now due to the old version.
So, in this case you might need to manually download and install the latest version from here.
After that, re-apply the license again by following the below link.
License Manager
Have a good day!
Regards

Hello @vebrolinsey,
to add custom fields and show them through shortcodes as you want, there are a few steps to follow.
First of all you need the below addon of wpdm
Advanced Custom Fields
Then you have to create the custom fields from this option.
Then you have to add the acf shortcode in page template or link template to use that.
After that you have to input acf value from the package edit page.
To show the acf value in wp_all_packages shortcode, you have to add colheads and cols with the acf title and id.
Let me know please if you can do it or you need help.
Thanks
