Hello does WP Download Manager provide an RSS Feed so users can subscribe to it?

Thank you

Hi, we have successfully modified the Link Template in WP Download Manager to disable the single file page link by using the [title] tag. Currently, when a user clicks on the file title, it no longer redirects to the single file page, as intended.

However, we would like to enhance this functionality by making the file titles directly initiate the download when clicked, instead of opening any page. We need assistance in configuring the template to make the file title a direct download link.

Below is the full code from the template we have edited so far:

<!-- WPDM Link Template: Default Template -->

<div class="link-template-default card mb-2">
    <div class="card-body">
        <div class="media">
            <div class="mr-3 img-48">[icon]</div>
            <div class="media-body">
                <h3 class="package-title">[title]</h3>
                <div class="text-muted text-small"><i class="fas fa-copy"></i> [file_count] [txt=file(s)] <i class="fas fa-hdd ml-3"></i> [file_size]</div>
            </div>
            <div class="ml-3">
                [download_link]
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Is there a shortcode or method to achieve the following functionality in WP Download Manager?

We want the file title to directly initiate the download when clicked. If the user is not logged in, clicking the file title should redirect them to the login page instead of showing the single file page.

Could you please let us know if there is a built-in shortcode or a recommended approach to implement this?

Thank you!

Is there anyway to use a custom form plugin like forminator to create a custom form to use with download manager for uploading?

Hi, we are using this plugin to upload files and download after member login. So https://shortcutmoz.com/bio-exam/ Here are a couple of files as demo, if we Enable modal login form option from the plugin settings, we see there is a button on files from the front end with login text.

So if we disabled this Modal login, we see button disapper and there is no login option and even if click file, it goes to file detail instead login page which we have set already : https://shortcutmoz.com/download-login/

Issue No. 2: We would like to display pdf files in 1 column from top to bottom instead grid view.

Thank you!

Hi,

New version (3.3.01) gives database update notification on dashboard : “A database update is required for WordPress Download Manager Pro 3.3.01. Please click the button on the right to update your database now.” When clicking “Update database” button, I have the “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page” error. Moreover, I don’t use Download Manager pro.

Regards,

I made a prototype for a site. Download manager and the rest of the site works fine.
Than i migrated the prototype to the final domainname with WP All in One migration and the site crashes.
All plugins are up to date, so is WordPress and Themes and they both run on PHP 8.1.
Any ideas?

When I search using keywords, there is no change in the download list.
When not using ajax, the search results page rendered is wrong and is not the download manager’s list or template page.
I’m wondering if my settings are wrong?

Hello, I installed the plugin locally to test, then I installed it on the remote server with downloads reserved for logged in users (No access page = not selected, and No Access Modal = checked). For the local installation, I did get the styled modal window from Download Monitor to indicate that the download was not possible. But on the remote server, the modal window is with the default WordPress style (no warning logo, no title and close button). I tried on another server with an identical result.

How to enable/re-enable the plugin modal window style?

When activating the plugin via WP-CLI, the following warning is reported:

I guess, when activating in CLI mode the redirect should not be executed. Maybe it’s a good idea to print some post-installation instructions like visit <url> to setup the plugin. This would be a good fallback.

Hello. I’m wondering if it’s possible in the category shortcode or all_packages shortcode to include either the excerpt or description field in the display? I’ve searched the shortcode documentation but I’m not seeing anything… is this possible?

Here’s the shortcode I’m using so far:

[wpdm_category id=”geocaching” cols=1 toolbar=”0″]

Hello,

We are using your plugin to lock down access to files in the WordPress Media Library to only logged in users. We are having issues with certain files giving a “Media Not Found” message when they exist in the correct uploads folder. I believe this may have to do with the .htaccess rules that are being put in place by your plugin. It happens often when they are replacing a file with a file of the same name. Have you seen this issue and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

I created an individual list template and deactivated all others. But inside the block editor I can still chose all templates, not only the one which is activated.

Hi,

Trying to setup sign in or singup required to download a file but I dont see any options from the plugin backend.

I have the latest free version installed with almost 700 download items. All items are in categories. When I try searching for a category I get zero results. There also doesn’t appear to be a way to sort results by category.

Am I missing something?

Hello!

We would like to bulk protect our existing media pdf files and automatically protect any future uploaded pdf files. Is there a way to do that?

Your last reference to updating OneDrive support was 9 months ago when it was going to be ready “in a few weeks”. Any news?

Hello,

My site uses Paid Memberships Pro.
I want to make sure that the files I have set up in Download Manager can only be downloaded by certain memberships.

Initially, the membership names did not appear in Allow Access in the package settings.
After installing and activating ‘Paid Memberships Pro – Roles Add On’, I was able to set memberships in Allow Access.

But on the download page, it shows ‘You are not allowed to download’.

How can I apply membership restrictions?

Thank you.

Hi,

How can we get pdf attachment id in link template? I have override one link template and i need the id of pdf attachement. Please help. Thank you!

Hi, I have many PDF files associated to download manager. But recently download manager is conflicting with server side cookies and does not allow any download to go through. I consulted with hosting provider and they asked to change the module as this download manager is terrible. They found bellow error. I don’t want to change download manager, if you please get back with any solution.

$ grep -rli wpdm_client wp-content/
wp-content/plugins/download-manager/src/__/Session.php

As others have stated we get security warnings when using the free version due to (already fixed) security issues in the pro version. The free version currently has version numbers around 3.* and the pro version has them around 6.*. Since you’re using the same plugin name for both you’re unintentionally provoking confusion for security software and users. Hosters will warn about using the free version and some even will block / delete them.

(My situation is that a customer has two websites, one with the free version and one with the pro version. The hoster complains about the free version even if the fixed update was already installed. They offer a “Scan + Repair” function and I fear they might delete the free plugin and thus break the site.)

So my strong suggestion is, that you use different plugins names for the two different versions. Basically all vulnerability databases depend on a unique plugin name. This could be download-manager and download-manager-pro which makes it obvious, that they are different plugins. Other plugins do this as well (i.e. Solid Security, Yoast SEO, etc.).

Hi, im using the Downloadmanager on a Separate Page: https://wpt.sms-medipool.de/downloads/
But the CSS and Javascript Loads on the Startpage already https://wpt.sms-medipool.de/

Its simply a hit in Google Pagespeed and i can’t do anything to avoid it, trying already since hours to optimize every bit of the Page…

/download-manager/assets/js/front.js?ver=3.2.98
/download-manager/assets/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js?ver=6.6.1
/download-manager/assets/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css?ver=6.6.1
/download-manager/assets/css/front.css?ver=6.6.1

Can you maybe load the downloadmanager only with the corresponding shorttag or at least add some layload option like deferring?
Or at least least Compress/Minify those files if you don’t see any way of loading only on the corresponding page? ??

I believe this isn’t simple what i request, however maybe you’ll find a way ??

Cheers & Thanks! ??

PS, just dont tell me to use a Caching Plugin xD
I come from W3 Total Cache and Tryed already all out, 99% of them Slowdown the Site with PHP8.3 & JIT, so im not using any, just some nginx Rules which does a better job.

Hi ,

I am using ‘Download manager’ plugin but it’s on display image name on this page /download-category/software-downloads/
Can you please help us that how to display image name on this page.

The shortcode stopped working a while back I dont know which update caused. so instead of audio player I just get the plain text audio_player text.

I’ve got a few clients who installed this plugin on their websites …. but the security I provide has just put this notice on the plugin:

?“This version contains a known vulnerability CVE-2023-1809. Updating the plugin to a version higher than 6.3.0 is strongly recommended. The full report is?here.”

From what I can see, you don’t have a version 6.3.0 BUT …. the linked page is full of notices about the issue.

What is currently being done to address this vulnerability? I can’t leave these people hanging long as I’m the one who will be stuck fixing issues that arise from having a vulnerability on their sites.

Hi, I’ve had this plugin set up a while, and users must be logged in to view my files.

I’ve just put a file url into a private browser and it’s letting me view it… https://ceba-uk.org/pdf/design-construction-specification-and-fire-management/

What do I need to do to prevent this from happening?

Thanks, hope you can help

Hello, I want to purchase and install this extension on my WordPress: Share on Facebook to Download. My question is whether I can use it with the free version of Download Manager. I currently have version 3.2.97, or do I necessarily need the pro version of the main plugin?

how can i remove table from custom the_content and return the_content to default

Hello,

the download URL on my website is visible and accessible when you open the inspector and inspect the download button.

I am using a membership plugin (Simple WP Membership) and this way you can download a document even when you are not logged in.

How do I hide the download URL in the inspector or at least make it inaccessible for logged out users?

Thanks in advance!

I have templates in PDF format that are downloadable for free from my website. They are stored in the default /wp-content/uploads/ directory. I’m considering transferring these PDF files to a Cloudflare R2 bucket.

I’m also considering using Download Manager for the following functionalities:

• When a user clicks on the file download button, a pop-up appears requesting the user to share the webpage on Pinterest or Facebook.
• Hide or obfuscate the location of the files being downloaded.
• Track the files being downloaded.

Note: I do not require a shopping cart or e-commerce/payment functionality. My template PDF files will remain free for download.

Question: Can Download Manager integrate with Cloudflare R2?
