My apologies as I think I am being extremely stupid.
On the main page that shows all of my available downloads I would like to show all downloads as per your template “Call to action 4” with 3 columns. So I have set the “Link template” for each download to “Call to action 4” However how do I setup the main view of these downloads to be as per your “Call to action 4” example on https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/ready-to-use-templates/ ?

My page currently look like this: https://showersave.previewlab.co.uk/library/

Also how do I add a search facility?

Thank you.

Geoff

Hello Geoff,

Hope you are well. And thanks for writing to us. Call to action 4 link template is not available in the free version, it is available in the PRO version. And for search you can check this shortcode, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_search_result-shows-search-form/. Please kindly check and let me know.

Thank you and regards

The template type is fine – I understand.
However how do I define what template I am going to use to list all my downloads?
For example I am currently using the following on my listing screen but it doesnt mention the listing layout template anywhere:

[wpdm_all_packages login=0 thumb=1 items_per_page="20" jstable=1 order_by="field_name" order="ASC/DESC" cols="title,file_count,download_count|categories|update_date|download_link" colheads="Title|Categories|Update Date|Download::155px"]

[wpdm_all_packages] shows a list of all downloads in tabular format in a page, you can’t define any template in this shortcode parameter. However, you can check other shortcodes here too, https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/. Please kindly check and let me know.

Thank you and regards

Thank you so much for your support, I really appreciate it.
So if the short code you mention above is the only one available for listing downloads, even with a pro version how would I show your “Call to action 4” example on https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/ready-to-use-templates/ ?

I need to know how I can show different download listings before I decide to upgrade to pro.

You can use template in parameter and appearance with these shortcodes,

[wpdm_packages] – WP_Query in a shortcode for download manager packages

[wpdm_category] – Query All Downloads From One or More Categories

Please kindly check and let me know.

Thank you and regards

Nayeem, where will I find the template IDs to use?
Your “link” templates are for individual downloads on and your “page” templates are for the download detail screen.
Where are the templates for the listing page itself held and where do I find their IDs?

You will be able to find them from Downloads > Templates section ,

With the PRO version you will be able to create new, edit or clone templates. Please kindly check and let me know.

Thank you and regards

So lets say I would like to use the link template “call to action 4” so that my downloads page listing looks like the “Call To Action 4” example on https://try.wpdownloadmanager.com/ready-to-use-templates/

and I would like to show downloads from category slugs “category-1” and “category-2” and show them in a grid totalling no more than 12 at a timer with pagination.

What would that shortcode look like?

Thats great.
Finally how would I add a drop-down “category” selector to the filter on https://wpdmpro.w3eden.com/category-shortcode/ ?
