Hello,
It needs to to add filter code.
You can check filter reference from here
Then you can use this filters for specific users
or you can add different login pages with different redirection links.
Thanks
I’ve got the same issue, let me know if I should start another thread.
When I click the link to a download, it properly loads the Page Template and Link Template on a wordpress page (https://mysite.com/downloads/download-page-01), but the wpdownloadmanager content is wrapped in the default wordpress post template. I don’t see anywhere in the wpdownloadmanager settings to specify the actual wordpress post template that’s applied to each download package/page. See html output below, my theme is dropping your content into a wordpress post template, inside the post-content div. I would like to be able to select the wordpress post template applied to each download package/page, see below, my default wordpress template is named “td-post-template-default”, but I have several other templates I’d prefer to use.
*Edit – I’m not looking for widget shortcodes, they work fine but I need all pages to be applied to a different post template if that makes sense
<div class="td-container td-post-template-default ">
<div class="td-pb-row">
<div class="td-pb-span12 td-main-content" role="main">
<div class="td-ss-main-content">
<article id="post-2725" class="post-2725 wpdmpro type-wpdmpro status-publish post" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Article">
<div class="td-post-header">
<div class="td-post-content tagdiv-type">

Hi,
We have bulk uploaded documents using your import/export plugin, which links to our server.
We have added the short cods on pages we would like documents to show via categories. Please see example below:
[wpdm_category id="annual-reports-2016-2017" operator="IN" title="2016 Annual Reports" desc="Download all 2016 Annual Reports Below" toolbar="1" order_by="date" order="asc or desc" item_per_page="10" template="cwdm_template" cols=1 colspad=1 colsphone=1]
The issue is that we see the “10 downloadable items per page” but there should be an option to view page 1-5 OR a “load more” option which is not showing on the live website. It worked with a different template previously but for some reason it does not display on this site. URL: http://cwdm3.swey.co.za/tenders-submitted-and-closed/
Can this please be fixed ASAP?
Thanks.
Thanks for your input Xavier, it is difficult to get across what I was talking about, I did provide a link for explanation. Your links are really good also. Thanks also for the suggestion, the problem I have is that my downloads are digital zip files to be used with a software application, so I didn’t know if “software application” would work, or if there was something more in line with the way download manager was coded that would offer a better schema. Unfortunately Nayeem seemed to think I was asking generally about SEO, which isn’t the case, although schema will play a more important role with SEO going forward.
Nayeem, a theme may offer a basic schema layout, thanks, but it was something more specific to download manager I was wanting the information for. WPDM has it’s own fields which could potentially be used in a schema set up, things like author/download count/images etc. There is a schema for dataset for example, which may be ideal for WPDM, or others like book, video etc as Xavier mentioned if that’s what people are offering as downloads.
Going forward, WPDM would offer a big advantage to your customers if schema options were integrated or customisable as part of WPDM. The internet is in need of organising data for search, and with WPDM offering people a way to add large lists of download items, seems pretty essential to look at this for the future.
It would not only help me, but all your customers to read up on what it is, and how it helps. Xavier has a point about reading up on things before answering, I know it’s a lot to keep on top of support requests, but giving information that isn’t relevant back, is just going to delay a request, and frustrate the customer.
Hi @kd7sys,
Hope you are well.
You are updating the WPDM Pro after a long time. So, simply visiting the link and page template menu on the admin dashboard will resolve the issue. As the action will regenerate the templates automatically in the new style.
Go to Downloads>templates
then visit all tabs there.
I hope it will work fine then. If it doesn’t work, please, provide us with your temporary wp-admin login details and site URL in a private reply for checking the issue.
Also, please share the related page/file/package URL with us where the issue exists.
Thank You

Hi @nicgilbey,
Welcome to the support forum.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned functionality, you have to use the WPDM Pro plugin and the below add-on.
Advanced Access Control
By the way, you can use our Special pack which contains more essential add-ons including Advanced Access Control and its link is given below for more details.

Hello @ignitioncreative,

Hello,
Got the issue.
You are using a direct download link which is not ssl protected that mean that link is not https
. It is causing the issue in mozilla firefox. Make sure all links of your website gets https
.
If your site doesn’t make every page https, The solution lies only in firefox setting


However wpdm doesn’t use direct download link. You can check it by making packages or check the demo
In this case, You can set output buffering option disable to check it may solve the issue.

Thanks
Hello,
I suggest you visit the links and then make PDF of those using the ctrl+p
button while on the page on browser. Then you can upload the pdf files as downloads.
or another suggestion you can copy/paste links in .txt
file and then make those as downloadable files.
Then you can show like a list using this shortcode
If you just want to make link, it doesn’t need wpdm. you can make a html button and link there.
Thanks
Thank you for your response. That info will be helpful to adjust the look of my “resource library” but I still have the issue of not being able to have a website link as a resource. Is there any way to have a web link be added like a document so when someone searches the resources they can either download a file or a possible web link depending on what I have added. I have tried to add a web link to the manager but it displays a file not found error on the front end when I go to test it.
Sorry in advance for maybe not being as clear as I could be. Thank ou,

Nayeem…
Thanks, I already have the site indexed and linked to Google. Nothing in that article about Schema types, specifically, schema output, rich snippets, structured data etc.
.
The site has been indexed by google for about 3 years, you’re not reading what I am talking about, which has happened before. I understand it may be very busy for you, but I’m very busy also and it is really frustrating when your responses to what I am asking have are not related with what I am asking, even after mentioning the site being indexed. I even provided a link so you could see what I was talking about last time to stop the confusion.
I’ve had my site indexed for years, it does well with Search engines, that is not the question. My question was, what is the best schema layout to use with download manager. Schema is a way of managing micro data per page, so that the search engines can better classify website content. FAQ pages for example have their own schema, different from “contact” pages, or “about” pages. Given that WPDM uses custom posts and fields, I was looking for thoughts on the best type of schema to use and maybe what fields to use from WPDM for the data. There’s a schema type called software application for example.

Hello @ikram_dirujii,
Hope you are well. Can you please adjust the shortcode parameter, for cols parameter for data field name for download_link column, you may also can remove it from here, otherwise, if you trying to replaced the download link label with category link, it needs some code customization. please let me know
Thank you and regards
Sir Nayeem Hope you will be fine.
Sir, I want to show my wpdm categories in tabular format. I can use the wpdm_all package download shortcode for that purpose.
But sir I want to replace the download_link action with the category page link. I mean when users click on the Download button. so the category page should be open instead of file downloading.
please help Sir. i will be very thankful for that
Hello,
I have uploaded two po
and mo
files for es_US
and fr_CA
in the download manager language directory.
Please remove the current my account pages with translations and create new page with translated versions as I see some pages with account-2
links
Then let me know.
Thanks
Hi @welswebmaster,
Hope you are well.
Can you please let us know which shortcode you are using?
Also, please provide us with your temporary wp-admin login details and site URL in a private reply for checking the issue.
However, please share the related page/file/package URL with us where the issue exists.
Meantime make sure that you are using the valid shortcode with its parameter from the below link.
WPDM Directory Add-on
Thank You
Hi Nayeem, 4 months later this issue has happened again. https://verbrec.com/investor-centre/asx-announcements/
Nothing has changed on the site, apart from required updates.
The code we are using to display is: [wpdm_all_packages items_per_page="8" categories="2018-asx-announcements, 2019-asx-announcements, 2020-asx-announcements, 2021-asx-announcements" jstable=1 order_by="date" order="DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|upload_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Upload Date|Download::155px"]
We need to order our downloads by UPLOAD DATE.
If you could please advise of the best course of action it would be appreciated.
Hi there.
File links don’t work, only download works.
I have Version 2.9.99, if I update everything stops working (the shortcode appears and it doesn’t work).
I just need the links to the download tab to work.
Thank you
