How to format download link

I’m trying to get my link to present like this:

<!-- WPDM Link Template: Default Template -->

<ul class="nodaljump docs">
  <li>
    <a>[download_link]
    <i class="red far fa-file"></i>[title]</a>
  </li>
</ul>

(so that the icon is in the link).

But the short code [download_link] creates it’s own linking (a). Is there any way to edit that short code?

I’ve tried using the shortcode here: [wpdm_direct_link id="27861" target="_blank" label="Download Me!" class="css class names" eid="element-id"]

But that just takes me to the main download single page (without any files).

Basically the final code of the template that I want is this:

<ul class="nodaljump docs">
  <li>
    <a href="#unlock" class="wpdm-download-link wpdm-download-locked btn btn-primary " data-package="27861"><i class="red far fa-file"></i>Test File Download</a>
  </li>
</ul>

Thank you for your help!

When I use this code:

<!– WPDM Link Template: Default Template –>

<div class="link-template-default card mb-2">
    <div class="card-body">
        <div class="media">
            <div class="mr-3 img-48">[icon]</div>
            <div class="media-body">
                <h3 class="package-title">[page_link]</h3>
                <div class="text-muted text-small"><i class="fas fa-copy"></i> [file_count] [txt=file(s)] <i class="fas fa-hdd ml-3"></i> [file_size]</div>
            </div>
            <div class="ml-3">
                [download_link]
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

everything works.

When I try this code:

<!– WPDM Link Template: Default Template –>

<ul class="nodaljump docs">
  <li>
    <a href="[download_url]"><i class="red far fa-file"></i>[title]</a>
  </li>
</ul>

It loads visually but it doesn’t seem like the JS works.

it just refreshes the page.

Here is the displayed code:

<ul class="nodaljump docs">
  <li>
    <a href="#"><i class="red far fa-file"></i>Test File Upload</a>
  </li>
</ul>

The page you referenced said that shortcode [download_url] will only work if no lock is applied. I’m using the captcha lock…which is the whole point of for me of using the plugin.

That worked. Thank you so much.
