wpdm_login_form

Scenario: I need certain files to be accessible to only a single user. I started with WPDM Free, and bought ‘Advanced Access Control’. I uploaded a file, removed every role/group from ‘Allow Access:’ and assigned the ‘Select Members:’ to one specific user. Then I made a page that only has this for content: [wpdm_my_downloads login=1]

Problem: when I’m already logged in, it seems to work OK. If I’m logged out and I hit the URL, this is displayed on the page: ‘[wpdm_login_form redirect='XXXX']‘ (In this post I removed the redirect URL and replaced it with XXXX, but the redirect param looks OK).

It’s like the [wpdm_login_form ...] is not being interpreted as a shortcode or something.

So far, I’ve disabled every plug-in except WPDM and AAC, and changed the theme to 2014 – but that had no effect. It’s a standard shared linux host on GoDaddy – I haven’t tweaked anything on the server. WP is up-to-date.

Bug? Or am I missing something? I don’t want to post the URL on a public forum – the material is somewhat sensitive.

So where is v4? I guess you really mean it only works with the ‘pro’ version? If so, you really ought to add that info to this page: http://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/advanced-access-control/ or make it clear that your add-ons only work with pro. I feel a little ripped off.

Sorry – I had to nuke the entire install due to a conflict with iThemes Security and another download manager. I haven’t reinstalled WPDM, and may not end up using it at all.
