Please try again. Thank you.
Yes, I tried those things. It would be great if you could take a look for me on the backend of the website.
Thank you.
Checking in to see if you were able to access the website ok?
The shortcode I used before worked for years, it seems to only have stopped working with the recent plugin update.
I am looking for a solution that I can apply a shortcode to one page and it will display only the logged in user’s download package.
It looks like if I use the solution you are suggesting, then I would only be able to select one user. We have over 150 users, and the shortcode needs to be able to show the correct download package depending on the user that is logged in.
I tried the login parameter. That did not work.
I am unable to use the author parameter because I cannot restrict by author for what I am doing.
To summarize what I am using this for. We use the download packages as a billing history. Each download package is assigned to a specific user using Advance Access Control add-on.
The following shortcode used to work by showing only the download package assigned to the logged in user as set by Advance Access Control add-on:
[wpdm_category id="resident-documents" title="Resident Documents" desc="" toolbar="0" order_by="field name" order="asc" template="55dcc3c348196" cols=1 colspad=1 colsphone=1 items_per_page=250]
This shortcode no longer works after updating Download Manager plugin. Also [wpdm_packages] shortcode did not work.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Thanks for the followup. I tried this shortcode in various configurations. No luck.
Here’s an example of what I’ve tried: [wpdm_packages categories="resident-documents" toolbar="0" order="asc" template="55dcc3c348196" cols=1 colspad=1 colsphone=1 items_per_page=250]
Not sure if it matters, but I use this with Advanced Access Control. So my intention is to only display the packages that the logged in user has access to.
I have a license key, but I have the key on the live website. The key doesn’t work for a dev website as well, so I have to manually update the development website before I deploy to the live website.
Thanks for the quick response. This also fixes an issue where an administrator saw the whole download listing of a given category. Now that I can keep the administrator non-selected, they can only access the download packages that are specifically assigned to them.
Everything is working as expected.
Shaon,
I attempted to uncheck “administrator” and save category. However, when I go back to the category, the “Administrator” is still checked. The user is still not able to download package contents.
I appreciate your looking into this, please let me know the next step to resolve this issue.
Basically, I want the user to be able to click and view the PDF in their browser instead of downloading it.
Thanks,
Okay, thank you.
As a followup, I noticed if I remove the category from the package, other users can’t see it, but I am still hoping to have packages available to single members only, even if a category is set.
