Okay this completely confuses me:

On my page I have a Download area. This Download area I made with the “WPDM – Archive Page” Extension. All downloads in this area are public available.

Now I wanna add some more Files which I do not see on the Download area. Instead I want them to just be available by manually generated links which I send by Email to the customers. How can I make that?

Additionally I just updated to Version 4.7.9 of WPDM and now when I try to generate a download link I get the following Error “Error! Unauthorized Access” instead of the link in the field. Is there maybe a bug in the newest version?

Please read accurate what I´m writing to you.

1. I do NOT want to color the default theme title in black. Instead I want to color the DOWNLOADS menu item in black, as the black color is the active state for the menu.
2. The /plugins/download-manager/tpls/wpdm-category.php is not been used at all. I can change in this file whatever I want and nothing happens.
3. I need to add the name of the category as title into the view List-of-files-in-category.jpg above the list of files. This view is using the archive.php template for any reason and no specific wpdm template. How can I change this AND how can I add the name of the category as title?

Hey,

I attached three files.

• Categories-view.jpg: You can see the view of the categories. I did this by the following tag [wpdm-categories cols=4]
• List-of-categories.jpg: These are the categories you can see in the first screenshot but defined in the backend
• List-of-files-in-category.jpg: If you click on one category as you see in the first screenshot, you get a list of all files in that category

What I want to change is that template of the List-of-files-in-category.jpg screenshot. As described in the posts before, I was able to change this template by adding a file archive.php into the active-template-folder. But this is not pretty nice, as the archive.php is been used by wordpress also for other pages.

In this view I need:

1. The menu item DOWNLOADS needs to be colored in black as it is still the active navigation point, but even if the URL is /downloads/hotfixes-und-patches/, in the menu the navigation point is not set as active one
2. On that page there should be a headline with the name of the category, where files belong to. (In this case it would be Hotfixes and Patches)

I hope my problems are clear now and you are able to help me.
Thanks!

Hi,

thanks for your response.

I already read this how to guide for creating a custom template but FIRST this doesn´t work as every file which is in a new download-manager folder just gets ignored and SECOND as I wrote before, the template which is been used for the listing of the download links in one category is the {active-theme}/archive.php and this one is not provided by wordpress instead of the download manager plugin.

Hope you can help me.
