I too would like to know this! instead of showing the default-template, I would like to redirect the user to a custom page on my website.

Nayeem,

I only came on here to see whether something was possible, that is, a better way to create a direct link to a download. You have made it clear that this is not possible with either the free or pro versions of WP Download Manager. So I will continue to muddle through with my Option 4 workaround.

If you want to take this as a customer feature request and develop this for your customers, please feel free.

Please also feel free to close this ticket. Bye.

David.

Nayeem,

OK, this doesn’t meet my requirements. I don’t want to control access to a download, I just want to link directly to the download in a secure way.

Perhaps linking in this way is just not possible without having to manually craft the link?

Nayeem,

Can you send me an example of how the feature constructs the link? Does it just link to the download page or the download directly?

Nayeem,

Is that ‘Email Download Link’ a pro feature? It doesn’t appear on my installation with Download Manager v3.2.32.

Nayeem,

I’m sorry, I have been unclear. I am not looking to protect files, I am looking for a better solution to creating a link to a download package. Is there any chance we could meet? I don’t feel as if I am able to get my message across in text.

David.

Neyeem,

OK, I understand. This is not related to my query. Once again, you are focussing on the webpage, instead of the direct download link. I do not want my visitors to visit a web page, I want to provide a link that takes them directly to the download.

Take option 4 above. When the receiver clicks the link (e.g. from an email):

– If they are already logged into the website, the PDF download opens in the browser.
– If they are NOT already logged into the website, they are taken to the login page and after they login, the PDF download opens in the browser.

At no point does the receiver visit a web page (except the login page).

Does that now make sense?

The issue I am finding is that I have to hand-craft that URL for every single download. I am trying to find a better solution.

If this is still not understood, could we get on a shared-screen somehow?

David.

Nayeem,

Could you help me to understand the relevance of that button/feature to creating a link to a download package? Does that button create a link?

Still awaiting a resolution. Gentle chase.

Nayeem,

Thank you for your response. Forgive me for not being clearer; the link needs to be sent in an email, not via or on a webpage.

Make sense?

Nayeem,

Thank you for your response. Respectfully, you’ve missed an important aspect of my query: “I don’t want to link to a page, I want to link directly to the download”. In order to see the image above, the visitor would have first needed to browse to the package page. This works fine but doesn’t meet my requirements.

Make sense?
