Hi,

When I use a template that shows filename (to be downloaded) along with the download button, the file name is hyperlinked. Clicking on which opens another page, this causes confusion among the users. Is there anyway that the hyperlink is removed and only the download button is clickable.

Thanks in advance

I am using the “default template”
I like the layout, just need the hyperlink on the filename removed

Hello @goldenmoon,
I hope you are well and doing great.
Can you please provide us with the relevant page/file URL?
Also, if possible can you share your WordPress admin login credentials and site URL with us in a private reply so that we can debug and give you a better solution about it?
thanks

If you go to Downloads -> Templates -> Link Templates
and if you check each previews for each of the templates you would see that all of them except a few hyperlinks. Only ones which have [title] instead of [link] defined in the template do not show it.
So is there any in which I can remove it

In my test environment, Link Template previews are working fine.
Please cooperate with us by providing your temporary wp-admin login details and admin URL in a private reply for checking the issue.
However, it will be very cooperative if you record me reproducing your issue using a tool like this? https://www.loom.com/
It helps me to quickly figure out the issue and squash it immediately.
With Regards

The website is not online.

The previews work fine the problem being that in the download window, the file name is hyperlinked (check attached file)
https://snipboard.io/EjIoiy.jpg
users would click on that which leads to a page that has details of that file. This is confusing and not needed.
Only the download button needs to be clickable. The hyper-link needs to be removed

Thanks in advance

Hello @goldenmoon,
Please customize your relevant template by following the below link and use [title] instead of [page_link].

It should solve your issue and will look like this.
Thank You

Hi,

I have already done that. But wouldn’t that get overwritten when the plugin updates?
So was wondering if there was a setting on the UI

Hi,
If you follow the below link then it will not get overwritten as it’s clearly mentioned there that you are copying your required plugin files to your current active-theme directory not directly modifying on the direct plugin file.

Template Files


Hope you are clear now.
However, in the WPDM Pro, you don’t have to worry about that as you can modify template files from this section and it will not get overwritten with future updates.
Thank you.

Thanks that was helpful
I have couple of more queries
1. Is it possible to have an ‘indirect download’, when download is clicked in a popup the users name and email is collected and download link is sent to the users emailid and that email is also saved
2. on the download item page which gives the details of the download item how to put comments off

Hello @goldenmoon,
1. With the WPDM Pro email lock feature you can achieve this functionality easily. Have a look at the below screenshots.

https://share.getcloudapp.com/Apuz7RpG
However, you can use the below add-on instead with the free version of WPDM.

Form Lock – Ask users to fill a form to get access to download


2. You can turn of comments by following this in the package edit section.
Cheers!

Thanks for the response.
Does that mean there are only paid options to do it?

Is it possible to use [popup_link] with some contact form and a wpdm shortcode?

Hi @goldenmoon,
For now yes only paid option.
Yes, you can use the [popup_link] shortcode with any contact form but it may not work with the WPDM shortcode as we haven’t tested it.
Hope you understand.
Thank you

Hi,

This is which ref. to your reply regarding the placement of the link template files. I followed instructions and it doesn’t seem to work.
The link template files are currently in
/{My_Path}/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/src/Package/views/link-templates
following your instructions I copied the link template file I created into
/{My_Path}/wp-content/themes/{My-Theme}/download-manager/
this does not work; nor does it show up in the templates list now does does the shortcode using it work.

The same link template file works well when placed in
/{My_Path}/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/src/Package/views/link-templates

Hello @goldenmoon,
Hope you are well.
Please keep your file under /{My_Path}/wp-content/themes/{My-Theme}/download-manager/link-templates/.
It should work.
Thank you

Thanks, that worked!

How do I change the colour of the download button and other text in the download box?

Hi @goldenmoon,
You can change the download button color by following this setting.
However, in order to change the other texts in the download box, you have to edit the corresponding template file by following this doc.
Also, You will find all the related template tag details in the below link.
