Hello,
In order to render the PDF to the browser, you can use the Single Column with Doc Preview
page template.
However, if you add the pdf from the media library and unmask download links, they could be indexed by google.

I have WPForms installed on my website. But I don’t see all my WP Forms under the Form Lock option. I see only 5 forms in the drop down. How can I access the other forms that are linked with downloads?

Is there a way to only allow listening to audio files but prevent downloading them? A simple player like the ‘link with audio preview’ would be okay, but the audio should only be available for logged-in users.
Any way to build this using WPDM?
Hello @corigen,
Hope you are well. Yes, I have got your requirements. you can use other link/page templates too from Downloads > Templates
panel. otherwise, you can use your own custom link/page template creating from Templates menu panel. And use the link/page template related to your packages thereby. for template tags, you can check this doc,
Template Tags
please check
Thank you and regards

I’m gonna retry to explain it. I don’t want an automatic download. I want to make a button or a textlink wherever I want and link it to a file. At the moment I can link it to a file but then it will go to a screen first that shows the quantities of downloads, number of files, size of the files etc…etc.. I don’t want that. I want to klik on a button or a textlink and the file download to start immediately. Do you understand what I mean?
I don’t understand what you are saying Nayeem, both don’t have the solution to my problem. I want to be able to link to a download and instant-download the item. No steps inbetween.

Hello @min999,
Hope you are well. And sorry for the inconvenience. For #1, Preventing starting download until download button press, you may comment out, line number 27-30
as I have given following code,
wp-content\plugins\download-manager\src\Package\views\lock-options\recaptcha-lock.php
if(window.parent == undefined)
location.href = res.downloadurl;
else
window.parent.location.href = res.downloadurl;
And for making a backup file, you may follow this doc,
Template Files
And for #2, Blank dropbox page, can you please elaborate more on your issue, if possible, please share the related URL link
Thank you and regards
Hello @recwap,
Hope you are well. Can you please elaborate on how you are using WP tags with Download Manager? you share screenshots, related links, or a short video too for your requirements
Thank you and regards
Hello @Taraistara,
Hope you are well.
For that you have to use [download_url]
as button url in link template for direct download link.
Example:
<a href="[download_url]" class="btn btn-primary">[link_label]</a>
More details:
Template Tags
However if you provide me related package/page/file url where you want this, it will be helpful to me to provide specific solution. You can also share temporary admin access of your website in a private reply to resolve the issue quickly.
Thanks
Is there a way to link directly to a file instead of displaying the package?
I want to add a button that directly downloads a file inside a package without having the user directed to the packages page

Hi,
Sorry for the delay, I was compiling all the changes and seeing if I saw any more.
These are all the changes I have:
/tpls/wpdm-login-form.php in line 60 change the text “Forgot Password?” to “Reset Password?”.
/tpls/userdashboard/profile.php in line 145 change the text “Package Name” to “Document Name” and in line 148 and 160 hide the “IP” column.
/tpls/already-logged-in.php in line 19 hide the text “You are already logged in.” and in line 29 change the text “Download History” to “Publications” and change the link from “echo get_permalink(get_option('__wpdm_user_dashboard'));
” to “https://www.alcazar-im.com/resource-centre/”
/tpls/wpdm-dashboard.php in line 42 change the text from “echo $menu_item['name'];
” to “Dashboard”.
/tpls/lost-password-form.php in line 20 hide the text “Lost Password?”.
Changes that i dont kwon exactly that they made:
/tpls/wpdm-dashboard.php in line 32 i have the coment “Remove ‘Download History’ and put ‘Documents’” but i didn’t see that modification:
if($menu_item['name']=="Download History"){
?>
<a class="udb-item <?php echo $udb_page == $page_id?'selected':'';?>" href="https://www.alcazar-im.com/resource-centre/"><i class="far fa-file-alt color-info mr-3"></i><?php _e('Publications', 'wmdpro'); ?></a>
<?php
} else {
Note that the lines I indicate are indicative because I have seen that in many of the changes have been added space above and below to see it better and this varies the line with respect to the original file.

We had a company name change and when moving Download Pro to the new server everything cam over but the links do not work. When you try to download I get a file not found. Not sure if the link extensions are wrong or what. Do I need to change something on the new server? Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
If you have “cache zip” option enabled, when another user downloads the same package, it serves the zipped file created earlier. But if you have the option disabled, every time a user clicks on the download link, it creates the zip again from the attached files, which is required when you attach dir with a package and upload files to that dir using FTP.
By default, Cache files of WPDM are stored in wp-content/uploads/wpdm-cache
directory
You can check this options from Admin Menu ► Downloads ► Settings ► Privacy
to clear cache

I hope it will solve the issue.
If still the issue persists, please also provide temporary admin access of your website in a private reply with details about the issue.
Thanks
