In WordPress Download Manager, when adding a new package and then “Attach Dir” from the backend,

for a single directory structure, visitors can see all the files within that directory.

However, for complex directory structures containing multiple subdirectories, visitors can only see the individual files, not the complete directory structure.

How can this be resolved, and what paid software package would be necessary

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out.

By default, visitors can view all files and sub-directories within a directory. Are you trying to hide the sub-directories and show only the files inside that directory?

Please check and let me know.

Regards

For complex directory structures containing multiple subdirectories, how can I view the complete directory structure and download subdirectory files, such as the Windows Explorer subdirectory structure.

This is how the directory view appear, when you upload a directory from your server.

You can use this template tags [file_list] for flat file list, [file_list_extended] for grid view with directory explorer

How can I resolve the issue of selecting “Browse Directory” on the left and then “Download File” on the right, similar to Windows File Explorer

It will require customization to display the directories same as explorer view. You can send a customization request from this page.

You can check our Archive page add-on , but it will display only the categories and subcategories not the directory.

From the backend, click “Add new Package” and then “Attach Dir”. For complex directory structures containing multiple subdirectories, visitors can only see the flat file distribution and not the directory structure.

You can display all the files inside the directory using the [file_list] or [file_list_extended] template tag, which will appear like this.
If you want to achieve this directory view, then it will require customization.

It will also require customization and the left sidebar in directory add-on is showing all the categories not the directories.

File Manager


The File Manager add-on allows for management of physical directories in the back end. Can the front end also do this

This add-on is added as a core feature with WordPress Download Manager Pro.

If the File Manager add-on in the front-end allows for the management of physical directories, is download-only and restricted to members only, I would like to subscribe to Download Manager Pro.

It will not allow the directory management from front-end.
