Excellent, I added cat_order=”asc” to the shortcode and it is now all working perfectly!
Thank you very much.
Hello again,
Just to clarify, the packages are being sorted “asc” by their Titles which is what we want, but the Categories are not being sorted “asc” by their Names. Is there a way to fix this now or will we have to wait for a fix in a future update?
Thank you.
Hi Nayeem,
Thank you so much!
I see wpdm_tree is working now on both the Main and Christmas Library pages.
But it looks like the additional parameters aren’t working yet? [wpdm_tree category=”main-library” orderby=”title” order=”asc”]
The pages are being sorted alphabetically but in descending order. I would like them to appear in ascending order.
order_by: field name to sort packages, you can sort by title, download_count, create_date, update_date or id, its an optional parameter, if you skip this parameter “id” will be taken as default.
order: asc or desc, optional parameter
Is there a setting somewhere else that I should be using?
Thank you.
Another week has gone by. We need to get this issue resolved, I have members asking why they can’t access their music!!
OK, what’s going on here?!!!
THIS ISSUE IS STILL UNRESOLVED FROM JUNE 2020 – THAT’S 3 MONTHS!!!!
I just updated to the latest v5.2.2 and am running WP 5.5.1.
Please, at least let us know if the issue is still being investigated or if we need to find another plug-in to replace this broken one.
Thank you.
Hello,
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: another month has passed I have received no further response and the issue has still not been resolved.

Hello,
I’m still waiting for a resolution to the problem.
Thank you.
Hello Nayeem,
Thank you for your reply. I look forward to receiving the update.
Thank you.
Hello,
It has now been 11 days since this issue was first reported and it is still not resolved.
It is important that we get this working again as it is the main function of the website.
As a paid license, it would be helpful to receive at least some regular update on the progress until it is resolved.
Thank you.
Hello,
I’m just following up to see if any further support can be offered to resolve our outstanding issue.
Thank you.
Main Library is a Parent Category for 200+ Categories. I also have Christmas Library setup as a Parent Category for 30+ Categories. There is a separate page setup to display each of the Parent Categories:
Each Child Category is the title of a musical composition and all the orchestral parts (Packages) for a musical composition are assigned to their respective Child Category.
The Main Musical Library
would display a list of the respective Child Categories and when you clicked on one of the Child Categories (Titles of musical composition), the list would expand to show all of the Packages (orchestral parts) within that Child Category. You could then click on one of the Packages to see the individual package details with a link to download.
It has run this way since we first set it up 3 years ago. Did something change in the recent updates of either Download Manager or the Extended Short-Codes plugin that would cause this to no longer function as it did previously?
Thank you.
Hi Nayeem,
The basic short code works as you have it on the test page: [wpdm_tree]
but I am wanting to display a specific category sorted in order: [wpdm_tree category="main-library" orderby="title" order="asc"]
When I updated your test page with [wpdm_tree category="main-library"]
it doesn’t display anything.
This works but isn’t the full control I need: [wpdm_tree orderby="title" order="asc"]
Perhaps there is an issue processing the category slug?
Hi Shariar,
Thank you for your prompt reply and for the information. I updated the code as directed on our two pages and that resolved the issue.
There are a few instances of the code on the WP Download Manager Short-codes page that perhaps should be updated to reflect this change: https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/
Category Short-code > Parameters:
order_by: field name to sort packages, you can sort by title, download_count, create_date, update_date or id , its a optional parameter, if you skip this parameter “id” will be taken as default.
Thank you,
Michael
Hello,
I just updated WordPress 4.8.4 to v4.9.1 and it looks like the issue has recurred where this code no longer works:
[wpdm_tree orderby=title order=asc]
I just downloaded and replaced v4.6.8 with 4.7.2 and that didn’t resolve the problem.
Help!
I would also like to sort wpdm_tree:
[wpdm_tree order_by=”title” order=”ASC”]
The displayed list of Categories is sorted alphabetically, why aren’t the respective Packages?
How are the Packages sorting? by creation date order?
Thank you,
Michael
Thank you very much for your prompt reply and information.
I had WPDM Extended Short-codes add-on installed but not activated. I activated and added the following code and all is well:
[wpdm_tree]
Thanks again!
Michael
