Thank you for the update
I have looked at this filter hook already and am confused at exactly how to implement: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/filter-reference/wpdm_download_expired_message/. I’m not sure I’m code savvy enough, so any help you could give me to know exactly how to use this would be helpful. The commented out portion is confusing…I’m unsure of what objects I need to target. For instance…if I want the message to say “Resource Expired” instead of “Package Expired” and then “This resource expired on [date/time] and is currently with Compliance for review” how would I do that exactly?
Thanks for forwarding the PDF Viewer issue. Again, it is a big process for us to grant temporary access to our site, so if there is any way for you to adjust using your test site and providing code for us to implement, that would be preferred. Or if it can be released in the next update?
I do now see it appears to be working, but it is displaying differently than it used to. Do you know if there is a way to alter the message that displays on the PDF Viewer when a package is expired? Our users tend to notice that red bar that says “invalid or corrupted PDF file” before seeing the expiration message which causes confusion as they think the file is just broken.
Additionally, I’d like to change the message that is displayed when a package is expired. I found this, but don’t understand how to alter it to work in my functions: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/filter-reference/wpdm_download_expired_message/. Can you assist me with what exactly the code would need to be?
Is there any chance you can look into this without logging in to my site? It is a whole process to grant access and get approval from our IT team to unblock external countries, so I’d like to avoid opening that back up since we just finished working through an issue together for several months.
I am unsure of when this issue began, but my live site is running WPDM version 6.6.2 and my staging site is running version 6.6.0 and I don’t see an expiration message working on either.
My Pro license just renewed in October. Is there a way to upgrade that license to a Business one without paying for a completely separate business license?
I need the license to remain on my live site, so I cannot move it around. But we must also have a staging/test environment of our live site. This single license key used to work on both. Has something changed? Is there no ability at all to use it in a staging instance?
I have already checked and the issue isn’t there until I reset the limit again following turning off all plugins. This makes it impossible to determine where the conflict exists (if there is one) because the issue does not occur unless all of the plugins are active. If we cannot get further assistance, we will just discontinue the use of this plugin which is very unfortunate.
Nayeem, I do appreciate your assistance, but we are just continuing to have a repeat conversation. This is the same process I have followed twice already at your request on September 26 and again on October 9. When I deactivate all plugins and reactivate it works until I reset the limit and then the issue begins again as documented on October 9: https://ae22.wistia.com/reviews/vawkwvap3k. We have spent 2 months just trying to see the issue and have yet to make any headway toward a solution. I do not know what you want me to continue to kindly check when we have not made any updates. Each time you request this, there is no change in what I’m seeing, so being asked to keep checking is getting frustrating.
Can we please loop in additional support on this issue or get a refund for the plugin?
Additional roles have been added.
The video is no longer available. I wasn’t able to see it before it expired. But yes, I would like to get this resolved. Nothing has been changed since we began this thread so the issue is still persisting. It has not been working properly since installing the plugin over a year ago and I’d really like to get this fixed or get a refund for the plugin. I understand your experience has been that things are working, but as provided multiple times, it isn’t working for me as seen in the evidence I’ve provided throughout this thread.
No, it is still not working. I was working on some other things and viewed packages and the downloads jumped from 2 to 5 without even downloading anything. If we can’t get this resolved, is it possible to get a refund for the plugin as we are not able to use it as advertised?
I see no errors on my side. Please try again.
Is it possible to loop in a team authority? We have been working on this for months, and I’d like a second opinion. It takes days to make any progress and the only progress seems to be us going back and forth about things that aren’t the actual issue. I have provided so much information and am growing very frustrated at the lack of movement being made toward a solution.
No, I haven’t adjusted any settings. I am seeing that box on my end.
I am out of the office for a few days, but will provide this info next week.
I cannot continue to take our site down for “maintenance” to test this. I think what I need to do is clone the site so I can test without impact to the live site. If I do that, I don’t have license keys for our Download Manager plugins. Is there a way to get dev licenses for testing purposes without having to purchase additional licenses?
I’d like to repeat this and record for you exactly what was occurring because all was fine until it wasn’t and there isn’t an obvious action taken that caused it to not work.
Nayeem, that is the testing I did…I deactivated all plugins and the issue wasn’t there. BUT even with all of the plugins activated, the issue wasn’t there either UNTIL I had to reset my limit again. The issue appears to be tied to the download limits plugin because one I reset the limit, it stops working properly. I did what you asked and am really needing some additional assistance here. Is there a team authority we can loop in for a second opinion?
I have completed my testing and it was inconclusive. I turned off all plugins and added them back one by one, downloading packages in between each activation and it counted fine. I did this with all of the plugins with success. I had the download limit set to 10 and hit that limit multiple times during turning the plugins on, reset the limit and continued with no issue. After getting all of the plugins activated it was still working perfectly until I hit my limit again. Once I reset the limit with all plugins on it started counting in threes again.
I don’t understand why I was able to reset the limit throughout the whole process, but once I activated all plugins and then reset, it glitched again. I don’t have the time to repeat this process tonight with resetting the limit between each plugin activation. There definitely seems to be an issue, but I cannot identify the source.
In the meantime, I’ve still been looking to confirm with you that when you were testing on our site you experienced the issue that I documented. I will do the testing that you’re suggesting, but it would be helpful to know that you have seen what we are experiencing.
I am planning to try to do this tomorrow evening. I’ll report back at that time or first thing Thursday morning.
Hey Nayeem,
I understand you have tried to replicate on your test site. I’m still curious if you have been able to successfully see the issue I’m describing on my site.
As I explained on Monday, turning off plugins is going to be difficult for us to do as our site is used 24/7 and making these kinds of adjustments would greatly impact user experience. I can try to find an opportunity to do this via a planned maintenance session, but if there’s a chance you know what plugins or types of plugins I should maybe be focusing on, that would help. Every plugin on our site is essential, so if this is a conflict of some kind, I’m interested to know what the process is moving forward…can we be refunded for the inability to use your add-on, or will you work to provide a fix for it?
I have not restricted this. I just turned it back on and am seeing the download limits box on the front-end in the lower left corner just fine. I’m turning it back off though since we are during business hours.
Have you had an opportunity to pull in a team authority by chance? We’ve been going at this for weeks and aren’t making progress. I just feel like we aren’t jiving with one another and the miscommunication occurring is adding to the increased time it is taking to troubleshoot this issue.
I’m not sure I understand your question. The column you said was missing from the screenshots I provided has been added back (Users > All Users
), but I can only do so with the Download Limits Add-On activated. I am leaving the plugin activated now so you can test.
But I keep turning off the Show download limit notice at front-end
option in the settings because it displays on the frontend for all of our users, even those we haven’t set a download limit for. I don’t want to confuse our users by displaying a box that says “Download Limit: 0/0.” If you need to turn that on temporarily for testing, that’s fine. But I do want to leave it off when we aren’t testing so they don’t get confused…because it is weird that the backend says 0/Unlimited while the frontend says 0/0, almost like 0 downloads are allowed to users without a limit set.
