I haven’t used download manager in the sense of adding anything recently. I need to get a link for one of the pdfs I’ve added to provide clients. Where did the copy/paste go for getting the direct download url go? There is an icon that one would think is what I’m looking for but it just reopens the page.
Hello Terry,
Hope you are well. For categories hierarchy, giving access to a certain category for a particular role you have to set from the edit category option, then you have to make empty for the Allow Access option or have to give a particular role on it like as I image attached or as usual for the select member option too,

because
Package Access = Package Access + All Category Access = All Visitors + Author = All Visitors
and Package Access = Package Access empty + Category Access(Author) = Author
or Package Access = Package Access(Author) + Category Access(Author) = Author
More details can be found in the below link,
https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/add-new-package/package-settings/allow-access-access-control-option/
Hope you have understood. And The feature is actually for packages, selected roles will be applied to assigned packages, and the information I have given above. Thanks for your understanding and appreciation.
Thank you and regards
Thanks, but at the given link you can download version 4.4.3 and not 4.4.4.
Please upload the 4.4.4.
We have a site that uses WP Manager and experiencing two issues: https://dev.masterpieceintl.com/resources/
1. Page not longer loads using this code:
[wpdm_archive_compact template=”link-template-semi-ext” cols=4 colspad=2 colsphone=1 items_per_page=”24″ orderby=”title” order=”ASC”]
2. We tried to update WP Download Manager plugins and they won’t update properly. WordPress Plugin link Plugins shows all updates as complete, but Download>Settings show the following:
( wpdm-archive-page.zip ) and ( wpdm-pdf-viewer.zip ) show buttons green buttons with +INSTALL. However when we click the buttons, nothing happens.
Would like to have shared screenshots but doesn’t seem like your support form provides that option.
Please let me know how we can provide additional information.
Thank you!

Hope you are well. For disallowing crawling by the Search Engine. You can Mask Download Link, If you mask the download link, bots will not be able the find any public download link easily. You are able to find this setting from Downloads > Settings> Basic Settings. please check.
And another way for making disallow Crawling Download Manager Pages Google, Bing + search engines is, Add the following code at the end of your active theme’s functions.php:
function noindex_for_wpdm()
{
if ( is_singular( 'wpdmpro' ) ) {
echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">';
}
}
I hope it may help you. Please check and let me know

Hi,
I’m planning on uploading 400+ image downloads to my site, so to save time I am going to import via a CSV file.
I have just performed a test with ten items in the spreadsheet.
It uploaded the downloads but just with a few issues that I’m unsure how to resolve:
1. For any downloads I create manually in WordPress, the download button will prompt the image to download to my computer, which is how I want it to work. But for any file that has been uploaded in the CSV import, the download button just redirects to the image in the browser. Is there a way to resolve this?
2. File size: I appreciate that there’s a column for file size, but just wondering if there’s any way for it to recognise the file size without having to type this in manually for each file?
3. files/preview columns: For these I have first uploaded the files into the media manager, and then copied the links into the spreadsheet. This worked fine but I’m wondering if this is the best method for this or whether there’s a more efficient way?
Many thanks in advance
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="30" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title|download_link|categories" colheads="Title|Download|Partner"]
Thx. We will test this.
Can you also tell me something about opening downloads in a new browser window? I know it works in some layouts, but not in the table form as we have it:
[wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="30" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title|download_link|categories" colheads="Title|Download|Partner"]
Glad to hear this, your problem has been resolved. I have adjusted your issue from your custom link-template for your package and in your created custom link-template CSS panel, I have just put .w3eden { display: contents; } and also adjusted your page texts <p> tag to <div> tag. Thus, it is okay now. However, If you get some free moments, Can you please give us a 5* here and add your valuable review about our plugin, it will inspire us a lot.
Have a good day!
Hello,
Sorry to hear about the issue. I think you have misunderstood the feature.
Direct download button will not work for another visitor as it has security reasons.
Visitor has to input password when he will click the download button and if someone wants to share download link, he has to share the download package link like http://localhost.com/downloads/testmovie/
If you use list downloads using shortcodes, then you have to input password before clicking download too.
I hope you have understand.
Thanks
Hi
I was testing this from your demo site.
maybe i understood it wrongly but when i add the File Password as below screenshot.
https://prnt.sc/FNAxpR65PpV5
and when I share the file download link to anohter visitor.
https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com?wpdmdl=49785&ind=1652239714530
I was expecting that he/she will be prompted to key in the password and be able to download the file.
but the screen says that you are allowed to download.. not popup or nothing else..
Is my understanding correct? if not, can you educate me on how file download link and file password should be working?
Thank you
Hi @palelearn,
Thank you for your query.
Well, if you migrate then it should not affect the links.
However, you can check our bulk import feature as well regarding this.
Bulk Import
Let us know if you have any questions regarding this.

Hi
We are using your download plugin and have a query. We are planning to migrate our website to another server. Will the links for the images stored thru your plugin get affected and do we need to again set up/update the links in the new server? Please let us know.
Thanks
Hello Daniel,
Sorry for not understanding properly about the template tag. The template tag you can use in any page/link templates from the Downloads > Templates section, if you are using the PRO version, you will be able to see details of it. And after using it within any link-template you will be able to use any of your shortcode parameters. I hope you have understood now. And do you want to show the view button for the wpdm_all_packagesshortcode too, please let me know.
Thank you and regards
Great, thanks Humayon!

Hello,
Hope you are well.
Could you please show me an example of the gallery what you are looking for?
You can use like this demo by following the below shortcodes.
[wpdm_carousel category="category-id" autoplay=1 nav=1 dots=1 wrap=1 items_per_page=4 items_total=8 template="link-template-id"]
More details can be found here.
The best solution for you is the Directory Addon.
WPDM Directory Add-on
Using it you can show your categories in the sidebar which will be used to filter categorised downloads. Then on the right side, you can display your downloads/packages. Please check the demo here https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/archive-page-flat/ The template in the demo doesn’t have the file preview but you can also display the preview using a custom link template.
Thanks.
Thank you.
I’m using WPDM plugin in my site. I added a add on “wpdm lazy download”
Now the problem is:
After enabling lazy download add on, Audio file preview/play are not working!
I think lazy download plugin is using encrypts direct download link, before download. This is causing problem in Preview files & Play Audio files! How to remove that encrypt only in lazy download php?
I have completed the purchase of the Download Manager Pro which is being shown on my profile too. But the following message has been shown on my linked website:
Download Manager Pro support and update period was expired on 04/13/2022. Renew Order
Kindly let me know why it is not updated on the site?
