Thank you for the reply. I have created a staging site that is an exact copy of the live site. I changed the theme to Twenty Twenty One, and disabled all plugins except for Download Manager and WPDM – Extended Short-codes. The file tree still does not display.

I can provide a login if you would like. Any insight is appreciated. Thank you.

Update – in troubleshooting another issue for another website (I’ve had several today after updating sites to WP 5.5) I found that installing the WordPress-developed plugin “Enable jQuery Migrate Helper” fixes the main issue. The tree now shows and is functional again.

However, the order of my tree is now in reverse order from how I’d like it, and changing the order from “asc” to “desc” makes no difference. My orderby title results in a Z-to-A sort. Is there a way to remedy this?

I just found that your latest version makes $operator a variable…and I have now been able to set operator=AND in my shortcodes. No more manual edits every time I update the plugin!

Thank you for making this modification, and continued success. I use this plugin on multiple sites and it does what I need.

Update #2 – I found that all of the existing downloads had been set to a status of “Scheduled”, with a to-be-published time a couple of hours in the future. I’m not sure why that happened, but I simply waited a couple of hours and the files now are showing on the pages where I have included the category shortcodes.

Now that everything is showing, I’m finding that my order field = id in the shortcodes isn’t putting things in the intended order anymore because the ID’s were reassigned; everything is jumbled up. But at least the content is there.
