I have a website using Free Download Manager. I have links to my documents placed in my theme. After 2.7.5 update, those links just redirect to home page and don’t download a file. Also tried V 2.7.6 but the same problem existed. I’m at version 2.6.9. I haven’t tried the version in between. What could be going on?
From version 2.7.* Download Manager Free moved to custom post type for better performance and security issue. After you upgrade to version 2.7.*, you need to migrate your old versions’ data. To migrate your old version data to new version, goto Admin Menu Downloads Settings Migrate Tab of your WordPress admin panel. Follow the instructions written their.
Things to remember:
1. You need to manually re-assign download icon for every post from Admin Menu Downloads All Files
2. You need to reassign categories for each files manually.
3. Existing Category ShortCode will not work, you need to change all category ShortCode manually. However, you can install Advanced TinyMCE button AddOns for free to easily place shortcode in a page or post.
4. You can install Free AddOns to extend functionality for Download Manager.
*If you don’t want to do update to the latest version, you can still use Download Manager Version 2.6.96
2. You need to reassign categories for each files manually.
Wow, what a pain. I have tons of files.
Will the existing categories be kept? Or do I have to create them over again?
My site is a bit custom. I copy the link generated by the embed document shortcode and paste it in a custom field inside my post. This generates graphic links. Will I have to do anything with all those links or will they still work?
