How can I auto-update the file I upload?

Hello @science4me,
Hope you are well.
You can select this option in order to overwrite an existing file.
Also, you can do it from Dashboard>Downloads>Asset Manager like this.
Thanks.

Hello,

you will need wpdm pro discounted special pack for this:

WordPress Download Manager Special Pack

Let me explain more details:

#1. You can create multiple directories in wpdm upload directory.
#2. You can upload files to that folder using FTP or any other way
#3. Any change in the folder also will be updated in the package automatically
#4. This means when you add a file to that folder, the front-end user who has access to the package will get the file automatically, you don’t need to edit/update the package.
#5. The special pack has an add-on ( Advanced Access Control ) to help you to assign a package to specific users on need.

Also we have a free addon for REST API. You can check that too.

Hello @science4me,
Welcome to the pro version of WPDM.
You have to use the template tag [update_date] in page template or link template to show the update date.
You will find all template tags below:

Template Tags

Thanks

Hello,
I am sorry to hear about the issue. Those are actually not shortcodes.
Those tags are template tags.
You need to add those to page template or link template to affect.

In example:
it is an example of link template https://ftsincome.co.uk/testin-dwn/ . You need to add the template tag to link template to show update date there. By default it is default link template if any link template is not selected.

It is an example of page template https://ftsincome.co.uk/download/test/ You need to add that tag in page template to show the update date.

Please follow this to get more details

Hello,
I have created a custom link template for you with the date.
Please use that link template link_template_with_date for the page.
I hope it will solve the issue.
Thanks

Hello,

I am sorry unfortunately you cannot arrange attached files list with link templates this inside any package.
You can create a download package with one file or many files that will be shown there. you can only set search option for many attached files in a download package. All template tags and shortcodes are based on download package.

Let me give you an example:
Here is an demo what are you looking for
http://demo.wpdownloadmanager.com/wpdmpro/package-list-in-responsive-table/
Here you see all the packages not single file. Every packages containing one attached file or multiple files.

I found that you have used [file_list] and [file_list_extended] template tags to show filelist.
Only these two template tags are available to show the filelist. No easy way to change the design for the filelist. To change that we need to change in php file in plugin.

However let me know your thoughts about the issue.

Thanks

Hello,

Got the issue.

If you would use

Advanced Custom Fields

You would see a single file update date option in package like this (only if you upload file manually. Not for directory like you selected on your website)

Then it would show updated on … text on file name like this (only with [file_list] tag not for [file_list_extended])

But as I see that you selected directory from server, Actually there is no update date for any single file. That’s the reason actually it is not possible to show update date for the files you added. Sorry for that.

I hope you have understood.

Thanks
