Hi, I have recently moved from the Pro version to the Free version as the site is slowly fading away so I don’t want to send much on it, but I must have been using a Pro template before because now the download links are not showing, just some sort of shortcode [files]. So I want to change all the downloads from whatever it was to Extended as that suits my needs. I have over 200 downloads so I dont want to have to do this manually on each one, so I thought I could just edit the database, but I can’t find where the template is set. I’m fully ok with editing databases and using myPHP, but I just need to know where to change it, can you advise where this setting is in the database?
Thanks!
Hello Rodrigo Zamorano,
Hope you are well. You can customize template=”default” here for the shortcode. You can create/edit the templates and use from Downloads > Templates > Link Template. For custom field range filter, you can order and discuss it from here, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/custom-upgrade-service/, and for translation you can check the doc here, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/translate-wordpress-plugin/. Please kindly check.
Thank you and regards
Hi,
I posted this issue previously on the Free forum. We have since upgraded to Pro, but still having this issue. I have since found out the potential problem.
Our downloads are accessible only to clients, who must log in to the website to download files. Therefore, emails and names are known. However, in the Stats, they are only showing as Guest.
I noticed one package where this was not the case, because it was incorrectly configured.
Correct configuration: “Page links to” -> Custom URL (our client area). This keeps user on the same page while the file downloads via another tab. But the user is recorded as “Guest”.
Incorrect configuration: “page links to” -> normal WordPress URL. The file downloads, but the page tries and fails to reload properly, so the user needs to navigate back to the package page. But the user’s email is recorded.
Is it possible to speak to a developer to look at this configuration and why this happens?
Hi,
Looking at the demo link, I can still see a print option in the top right of the frame, which will allow users to download it.
Do you have a BLOB or canvas method that you could incorporate?
Since the purpose of this plugin is to restrict access to PDFs, it would strike me as an obvious feature that should be included as standard to prevent users downloading the PDF once they have access…?
Many thanks.
Hello,
We will be updating the default value for the watermark add-on.
Currently, the file size is being displayed for each individual file within a package. You can see an example of this link.
For refund related issues please send an order note from this page, here is a screenshot for your help
Please check and let me know.

I have a page template to display the details of a download, and I configured Elementor to work with the download posts from WPDM. I also use Polylang to link the posts for each language version of any given post. In this context, there is a functionality that allows configuring specific content to show or not based on the post’s language. This works for other post types but not with the WPDM post. Is there any way to make this work? Thank you.
After I updated the download manager to version 3.3.06, the shortcode [wpdm_tree] stopped filtering by categories. All documents are listed, regardless of category. I also updated the WPDM – Extended Short-codes plugin to version 3.2.0 and it still didn’t work properly. Before the update, it was working normally. I was using version 2.9.81 of the download manager and version 2.8.2 of WPDM – Extended Short-codes. I’m using the short-code like this: [wpdm_tree category=”editais” orderby=”date” order=”ASC” download_link=1]. What could be happening?
How can I force Download Manager to use my local hosted Nunito Sans font? This is what I see in the source:
<meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress Download Manager 3.3.06″ />
<link href=”https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Nunito Sanswght200300regular500600700800900200italic300italicitalic500italic600italic700italic800italic900italic”
rel=”stylesheet”>

Below the headline of the categories, we have one section in an accordion for all categories we have for the documents.
Within every category we have the following shortcode:
[wpdm_all_packages login=0 thumb=0 items_per_page="10" categories="legal-updates-thailand" jstable=1 order_by="publish_date" order="DESC" cols="title,excerpt|publish_date|download_link" colheads="Name::60%|::10%Document::15%|"]
Hiya
If you go here:
https://lightmaster-direct.co.uk/product/shop/save/downlights-save/plata-medium-surface-fixed-square-spotlight-s2471-white/
And do specsheet and press download – it’s downloading a zip file despite one PDF file being uploaded.
Do you know why it’s started zipping files instead of opening the PDF in a new window?
We’ve also lately had a load of PDF now through an invalid file type error:
https://lightmaster-direct.co.uk/product/shop/lightmaster-own-products/up-lights/ulan-pico-recessed-fixed-round-footlight-f3031-brushed-stainless-steel/
If you click spec sheets and press the link again.
Do you know why this is happening?
We haven’t changed anything, and some of the files have been on for years, which is why it’s all the more puzzling.
Re=uploading the file and copying the and resetting the shortcode generally solves it, but what if this then happens again? We would like to know why this is happening or if the current errors can be resolved easily enough to prevent redoing everything.
This is the file in the media manager:
https://lightmaster-direct.co.uk/product/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/dlm_uploads/2022/01/3031-Ulan-Pico-recessed-horizontal-JGC-V1.6.pdf
and you’ll see it’s thrown the error. Can you see why?
Thank you for your help.

Hello Sitcom Software,

Thank you and kind regards
The download was not working properly, because of you enabling flat download link, it may not work properly for different servers settings. And can you let me know how you are generating this download link, https://midsouthdiagnostics.com/wpdm-download/CH7JR5GnFFAMB-AXpGyEE65NBqf2fhFsR2i3BG816cTcgYCnYeHFoyhlbXqmMOKhzNKBS8O027F9kwYLtazXd7VY94ZF8ARMqr4Y61N1fG0WiIrgdCil_DMNOyP9UJSX, please kindly check and let me know.
Thank you and kind regards
We are unable to access the link as the error is occurring on that page. Could you please temporarily disable the Download Manager from your end and let us know once it’s done, so we can access the page?

After the last update, I am no longer able to use the “download page” links when creating a Generate Temporary Download Link on a package.The page now renders a blank blue page instead of the correct info. Please see link below.
Can you please let me know what is causing this to happen? Thank you so much for you help.
Thanks Nayeem,
I have a couple of questions if you don’t mind.
1. In the documentation, you say I can sync the hosted files to AWS. But will they still be linked to the same packages I have them linked to currently? Or do I have to manually link them to the packages after pushing files to the bucket?
2. Is there no option to offer “Download All” files as a zip when using Amazon? Is there no workaround for that?
3. Is it the same Asset Manager that is used to browse hosted files? Can you limit access to specified buckets and not show all?

Yes, just the numbers and information. No links for the following:
1. view count
2. download count
3. file size
4. package size
5. create date4
6. modify date
Could you please share the URL of the downloads table where you have used the repeater links?
Hello,
I hope this message finds you well and thanks for reaching out.
Could you kindly confirm if you’re asking to display only the download count and file size of a package, without showing the download link? Please let me know if that’s correct.
Regards
BTY, I somehow managed to show the repeater links but after clicking the link, it goes to the package’s url instead of downloading file. Can you please tell how to use the download_link there?
Thanks.
