Adding the rel="nofollow"
attribute in download link will instruct robots not to crawl the download link. Replace <a href="[download_url]">[title]</a>
with <a rel="nofollow" href="[download_url]">[title]</a>
in your link/page template.
You didn’t fix the shortcode as I have shown in the example above. You shortcode was set to orderby=date
. Anyway, I have updated the shortcode, now packages are sorted by ID.
As you are updating from a very old version, you have to migrate old packages using migration add-on. The migration process discussed here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/updating-from-wpdm-pro-v3-to-v4/
Anyway, I will do the migration for you but the login didn’t work. Could you please recheck the credentials?
It is not the archive shortcode creating the performance issue but rather the all package table. When jstable=1
the all packages table retries all packages instead of the first 10 packages.
If you want the search feature, use the Archive Page ajax search. Disable the jstable by setting jstable=0
in all package shortcode. That will perform much better.
Hi,
Looks like the old dynamic thumb method cropped the image to fit the provided size but current version keeps the full image visible by preserving the width/height ratio.
If you want I can apply the old style with the latest version on your site. We just have to replace the imageThumbnail
function in /download-manager/libs/class.FileSystem.php
with the old code.
Let me know if you want to do that. I need plugin editor access to update the code.
Thanks.
I have added a minor patch to fix the error ( commented the line 745 in /wpdm-premium-packages/includes/libs/functons.php
). We will add that on our next version, so updating plugin won’t remove the patch.
Yes, it is possible. Use the ” Generate Download Link” button under the package name ( In All Packages admin page ) to generate the link.
Download count wasn’t working for Dropbox file. I have added a patch in Dropbox add-on to fix that. Please check now.
txt files are for tracking user session. The size of these files is negligible. And image files are created for dynamic thumbs you use on your link/page template. The template reuses the dynamic image when available. Both of these are necessary for the plugin. You can stop generating dynamic thumb by using the only full thumb on your link/page template.
How many packages do you have? If you have lots of packages then your best option is clearing the cache periodically.
Do you have the latest version (2.9.9) of the Archive Page add-on? If not, please update the add-on. Latest versions are working fine on my setup.
Please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply if you had encountered the issue with latest Archive Page add-on.
Please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply to check the issue. Although, WPDM Dashboard icons are working fine with Verse theme on my setup.
Login Page http://zgemma.org.uk/login/
Registration page http://zgemma.org.uk/registration/
If you want you can set clean login/signup page by activating the options from Downloads Settings Frontend Access Tab.
Please send me the page link to check how you are rendering download urls.
You do have the Directory Add-on ( Archive Page ) in your account which you purchased long ago. The version you have on your site has been outdated long ago. It won’t work with the latest Download Manager. If you want to use Archive shortcode please install the latest version.
As your Directory Add-on ( Archive Page ) order has been expired, purchase a new one from here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/download/wpdm-directory-add-on/
In your pacakge settings, Allow Access: option was empty. That’s why there was no download button. You have to set some roles there. Or just ‘All Visitors’ if you want to make the download publicly available.
Hi,
Do you mean the icon you set isn’t visible in frontend? Could you please send temporary wp-admin login info? This feature is working fine on my setup.
Thanks.
Please send temporary wp-admin login info in private reply to check the issue.
Please send me the page URL to check.
If you want to test the URL feature you can just add a valid URL of any sample file from the web.
1 ) Setting up the slider
i ) Set slider category from Appearance Theme Options. I have set a category there.
ii ) Slider images come from the featured image of the package. So, when creating a package set feature image.
2 ) Set “Subscriber” in the “Allow Access” option if you want only registered users to download the package ( http://zgemma.org.uk/?wpdmpro=instrukcja-obslugi-zgemma-h5-fhd ).
Set “All Visitors” in the “Allow Access” option if you want the download to be publicly available ( http://zgemma.org.uk/?wpdmpro=backup-softu-openatv-6-2-zgemma-h9s )
Also, when creating a category do not set any access setting. All your categories were accessible “All Visitors” which made all packages publicly available. I have removed those access option from category settings.
Please send me the CSV file. Title with parenthesis worked fine in my case.
Hi,
You can clear the cache folder from Downloads Settings Privacy Tab. If you do not want to cache zip files then uncheck the ” Cache created zip file from multi-file package” option from package settings.
Thanks.
Maybe template name was incomplete in your pacakge shortcode. That’s why the shortcode didn’t generate the correct view when you placed the custom link template files in your theme dir. But you did saw the custom template in the Template list.
When writing the pacakge shortcode write the full filename of your custom link template as shown below,
[wpdm_package id=10 template="link-template-custom.php"]
