Hello,
The issue is that if you select from media, download links become direct. wpdm doesn’t handle that.
That is just an alternate option for those who wants direct download link. You can also try the unmask download from Downloads > Settings > Basic
Thanks for creating separate topic for another issue.
Argument 3 passed to locate_block_template() must be of the type array, string given, called in /wordpress/core/5.8.1/wp-includes/template.php on line 66
Hello, i’m getting this issue when trying to open the download-page.
I saw the same issue on other tickets but there you mentioned to update the page-addon package but i don’t use that one.
Link: https://netwerkislamexperten.be/download/ramadan-tips-voor-leerlingen/
When I click on a download link, the file is previewed in the browser. Images are shown full screen and the link includes the file name with its extension. But I would like the file to download directly when I click the button. The preview is not needed, as I can already do that beforehand and on Safari you can’t even download videos with long press like you can on Android. That means it’s impossible to download videos on iOS devices.
I have already looked through the settings and found the setting “Open in browser”, but that is already deactivated. If activated, it should behave exactly like it does at the moment. But that is not what I want.
I want it to show a download dialog on single files right away, just like it does when you download a zipped package.
Thanks for your help!
I use this list
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="20" jstable=1 order_by="title" order="ASC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Download::155px"]
issues:
1. It shows 0 files, although I uploaded multiple files
2. Press the download button only download one file(in case I uploaded multiple files)
3. Can you help me to add a link to the package page
Thanks

Hello,
Your website problem was related post and I hid that? I don’t know what else you wrote and sent me screenshots.
I have checked the link your provided.
The wpdm-template addon is working and many users are using them without issue. Did you try that addon?
or you can follow this
If it doesn’t work, I would suggest you to change theme or contact theme support as issues go because of the theme
Otherwise you can use our theme
Attire – All-in-One WordPress Theme
It will work best with wpdm.
Thanks
Hello,
You should receive an email when someone subscribes to download.
I see you have already set your email address in the email template to receive email and the email is working fine.
You can add template variables in the email template from the right side. In this way you can add any direct link in your email which will redirect directly to the targeted page.

All you need to do is customize the download notification email template.
Thanks

I have a site to download pdf books and I put two links inside the article, a link for automatic download and another link to read the book on another page, but I want to remove the tags from the reading page because I do not need it, I use the Publisher template,
There is another problem with the colors of the download buttons. I tried a lot to change the colors of the download buttons, but many problems appeared. I have 2 buttons inside the article, but when I give the download button, for example, a color and the other reading button another color, this other color does not appear, is there any solution for this problem,
The plugin is very cool and I benefited tremendously from it, I have more than 5 years of using WordPress and this is the first plugin I buy ♥ 😂😂

Hi @ericbjohnson,
Thank You for the clarification.
Please modify and use the below code in your current, active theme’s functions.php
file in order to change the above-mentioned text.
add_filter("single_file_download_link_label", function($label, $package){ return "New Label"; }, 10, 2);
It should work.
Thank You

Hi,
“Packages” is the gutenberg block, and shortcode is the one that TinyMCE adds for “most downloads” which is
[wpdm_packages link_template="link-template-panel" order_by="download_count" order="desc" paging="0" items_per_page="10" cols=1 colsphone=1 colspad=1 title="Most Downloaded Packages" desc=""]

Hi,
Sorry Nadeem, no. The widget in the sidebar worked, but I want to display on a post or a page. So only options are to use shortcode which doesn’t work, or a gutenberg block which doesn’t work.
https://pasteboard.co/756jshhwY9Zb.jpg
So, try adding via the shortcode option using tinymce wpdm addon.
https://pasteboard.co/7kZnQJvOHOgi.jpg
Gives the following
https://pasteboard.co/sU6HLtLFHKqo.jpg
Not most downloaded, if anything the least downloaded. Actually just the most recent.
So you can see even the shortcode that tells it to sort by download count, is sorting by Published Date in the screenshot. So I change the filter on the tool menu to download count.
https://pasteboard.co/KiNltspD7UZ9.jpg
and it still sorts it by publish date
Could you mark your reply above as private please, you posted a link to my site.

also noticed that doing a “listing” using “[wpdm_all_packages login=1 thumb=1 items_per_page="20" categories="slug1,slug2,..." jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Download::155px"]” is producing no entries.
could teh categories field be corrupted or is this unrelated?
