Hello @eli-kattoura,

In the free
You just need to follow this:

1. Copy page-templates directory from /plugins/download-manager/src/package/views directory to your active theme directory.
2. Make a new directory as download-manager on your active theme directory.
3. Now remove all files from {active-theme}/download-manager/page-templates except the template files you need to update.
4. Update template file(s) in {active-theme}/download-manager/page-templates directory as per your need.

However, wpdm update will not cause any issue with this directory. But if you update the theme, the directory will be removed. In this case, I would suggest to use child theme.

Thanks

You just use a template and edit there.
In example:
If you copy page-template-1col-flat.php to the directory, then you just select page template as Single Column, Flat then if you edit or remove any template tags in it, you will see the effect.

Thanks

Hello Eli,
Got the issue.
In the theme directory you made the smallest typing mistake.
You wrote download-mamager instead of download-manager
I have fixed that and found it is okay now.
Thanks
