For everyone searching on this topic and getting frustrated because all the answers are either “give me your admin login” or they’re hidden in the Pro forums – this is how I figured out to customize the page-template-default.php file in my (child) theme:

In FREE version of Download Manager – copy that file from the plugin folder’s /tpls/page-templates/ to your theme’s /THEME-FOLDER/download-manager/page-template-default.php. IE, put it in the root of a new /download-manager/ folder in your theme.

In the PRO version of Download manager – copy that file from the plugin folder’s /tpls/page-templates/ to your theme’s /THEME-FOLDER/download-manager/page-templates/page-template-default.php. IE, put it in a sub-folder called “page-templates” within new /download-manager/ folder in your theme.

This is how I’ve made things work in each version.

Hi Michelle, Thanks for using WPDM and the guides. We have already a docs and how to’s for the template creation and you can do it from your admin options.
Please check the link https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/templates/creating-a-new-template/ if that helps.
Thank you

Kazi, yes, but I’m a developer and wanted to follow the following instructions so I could save my templates in my theme rather than in the database: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/template-files/ Those instructions didn’t work consistently which is why I wrote this post, for others having the same issues.

Thanks!
