Thanks for the reply. The demo link looks great.

I am using a third party membership program that controls access to different things depending on their WordPress user role, so I am just assigning different wordpress user role levels to my packages. For example, “Basic” role (free membership required), “Premium” (paid premium membership required), etc.

Is it possible to do what you have described in the custom template tag if I am not using your the WP Download Membership Addon? I would like to do what you have described, but just have it be based on the name of the WordPress role that is assigned to that product. Please let me know.

Can you please clarify the difference between the “Details Page” and the “Shortcode Page” in the above screenshot of the button settings?

Thanks.

Glad you liked the idea. Do you have an ETA on when this will be added to the Forums?

Web Guy

As a follow-up to her initial question, can you please advise if it is possible to filter by “tag” as a dropdown of Directory Add-on?

If so, is it possible to limit the specific tags that will show up in the drop down given that WP Download Manager does not have its own set of tags (i.e., it shares the main tags from WordPress)? For example, if you have 200 tags in WordPress, but only want 30 specific tags to show up as a filtering option in the dropdown of Directory Add-on.

Please advise.

This is very helpful. Thanks.

What adjustments would need to be made to this code to exclude by assigned “tag”?

Hi Mike, thanks for sharing. Which of the paid versions is needed to edit WPDM Downloads? Is it the version called “Edit Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types With a Spreadsheet”? Please let me know.

Perfect. That resolved the issue. Thanks!!!

Web Guy

Thanks. That resolved the problem.

The only remaining problem that I see now is that if you click the arrow to go to page 2, you will see a big gap in white space between the packages. Is this due to some titles taking up one line and some titles taking up two lines, such that it throws off the rows/columns? Is there any way to mitigate this issue other than me needing to making sure that all titles take up exactly one line (or that all titles take up exactly two lines)? I imagine that this is a common problem for sites with hundreds or thousands of packages that have different title lengths.

Please advise.

Thanks

Thanks. That does the trick. The only remaining problem that I am experiencing now with the shortcode is that it always shows 10 thumbnails per page (i.e., 10 posts) regardless of what I change the number to.

posts_per_page=”10″

For example, the following code still shows 10 posts per page (even though it is set to show 12 posts per page).

[wpdm_packages categories="category-1, category-2, category-3" login="0" paging="1" order_by="field name" order="asc or desc" posts_per_page="12" template="5d277d746310d" cols=4 colspad=2 colsphone=1]

Any idea why that is happening?

Thanks. Can you please clarify which display options/shortcodes are considered as the “dynamically sized featured images” in the plugin?

Yes, I agree! This would be very helpful!

Oct 10, 2019 at 9:17 pm in reply to: Using Carousel and Slider #113407

Web Guy

Thank you for the reply.

1) Is there a particular dimension for the image that the featured images need to be in for them to look proper in the slider or carousel? If so, please provide the dimensions.

2) Is the slider and carousel the only two shortcodes that require the use of featured images (i.e., do all other shortcodes just rely on the auto-generated thumbnails)?

3) Can you please address the second comment from my prior post regarding the glitch with the Carousel demo on your site?

Thanks

Web Guy

Thanks for the explanation. I have a couple of follow up questions:

1) For this scenario, does the download manager track the button click as a “download” (even though the user is not actually downloading anything)? I am wondering for the purposes of tracking stats and allowing users to sort all packages based on popularity.

2) How would a thumbnail be generated for a package that does not have an actual PDF download? Would I need to temporarily attach a PDF (that has the image I want to use for the thumbnail) to the package when creating it (so that a thumbnail can be auto-generated) and then remove the PDF from the package after the thumbnail has been generated? Or are there other ways to generating thumbnails for packages that do not have a PDF associated to them.

We are planning to use your download manager plugin in conjunction with a 3rd party membership program that we have been using for a number of years. We would want to show one page template on the front end of our site (to help get people to become a member), which would be more promotional in nature. Then we would show a more simplified version of the product page in the back-end for people that are already members (in their membership resources area).

I know that we could always create separate blog posts to promote the products on the front-end but that would be double the work and we have hundreds of products.

Thanks

Web Guy

I completely agree with the need for this. There really needs to be an option to do bulk edits from the All Packages page much like how you are able to do bulk edits to specific posts from the All Posts page in WordPress (i.e., you can bulk assign categories, tags, etc.). Having the ability to bulk edit Link Template, Page Template, categories, and tags from selected packages on the All Packages page is highly needed.

The Default Values plugin has its uses, but it is an “all or nothing” option. Not everyone wants to assign the same exact Page template or settings to every single product.

Thanks for your consideration!

Thank you for noting this for future implementation. I just sent you an email to find out about the custom service.

Web Guy
Participant

Thanks. Would it be possible for this to be a feature that is added in a future update? I imagine many of the users of your plugin have different categories with different settings for different products and would not always want to do a bulk update that impacts ALL of their downloads. Please consider this as a future feature. Thanks

As a follow-up to this, does the Default Values plugin let you do bulk updates of the download label of packages based on specific criteria (i.e., configure it to only apply the changes to packages that are listed under a particular category)? Or is the bulk update an all or nothing update?

For example, we would want to change the download button on our products that are classified under Category A, but not to products that are classified under Category B. Please advise if there is any flexibility in what the bulk updates are applied to.

Just an update. The thumbnails finally showed up on my site, but it was probably 1-2 hours after I had posted this problem. Are the thumbnails generated by WordPress cron or something, which could cause delays in the thumbnails being generated? Please advise.
