Password protection disappeared in file settings but still active on page

Password protection option moved into Lock Options tab ( https://www.evernote.com/l/AV1kmCMIIlFPiLl263u9gh15QPfdX6B3xpUB/image.png )
Style needed to change a bit because of new option “CAPTCHA Lock”

I found that but the main point is that formerly password protected files are unchecked in that dialog box. Enable password lock is not checked, nor is Enable captcha lock. Yet on the page the password protection is still enabled, and I have no way of checking back to see what the password is.

What do I do now?

Formerly password protected files still will be protected, even it lock option unchecked, we had to keep it in that way to avoid the conflict with old data, but if you want to remove password protection, check the option, clear password, then uncheck and update.

Oh brilliant. So once again I have to go through ALL the files one by one and redo everything. Updates should NOT result in having to revisit all files one by one and re-edit them.

Sorry, probably I was not very clear in my explanation, you don’t have to go though any file, if a file was password protected earlier, it still will be password protected, you only need to update the file if you want to remove password now from a protected file, and you certainly will have to update the file again to remove password, even if you don’t update the plugin.

Yes but the files had different passwords for each year. I rely on seeing the password in the files list as other users set different passwords.

Without an overall password list I now have to go through every file, one by one, and set a new password. Unless there is a group way of doing it.

“an overall password list”? not clear. sorry, can’t remember if wpdm had anything like that.

Sorry, unclear. I meant my own list of the passwords.

Normally I keep a copy of all passwords but not with WPDM. I was relying on being able to access them from the files list.

Where are the icons linked to the files in the files list and the downloads on the page?

A lot of icons have been lost and it would be much quicker to relink them in eg the database rather than edit each file.

I can find the files in the database but I can’t see any link to the icons.

How are the icons stored in relation to the files, or linked to the files?

File Type Icons are located in ../download-manager/assets/file-type-icons/ dir.

In new version of Download Manager file icons are not shown in All Packages Page if package has a featured image. If featured image has not been set than we look for file type icon set for that package.

If none ( featured image , file type icon ) are set not for that package, image field are kept empty.

I know where the icons are located. I don’t know where the link is in the database.

Well I didn’t but I think I’ve just found out where – __wpdm_icon in postmeta

Do a search for wpdm_icon and browse the results in postmeta. Copy the generic icon address and use it in a SQL query. Copy the address of a file where there IS a custom icon and use that for the replacement term. Thus:

SQL search and replace of the generic icon:

UPDATE `wp_postmeta`
SET `meta_value` = replace(meta_value, ‘file_extension_pdf.png’, ‘https://yoursite/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/assets/file-type-icons/pdf.png’)

The same could be done for passwords.

If you are going to disrupt the icon links, password links, file list display etc every time there is an update, then the least you could do is put all the options in Bulk Actions – Edit, so that it makes it easier to restore.

I have got the icons back on page, and for those files the icons are back in the dashboard wpdm all files list as well.

Other categories, which were unaffected on the page and retained their icons, lost the icons in the dashboard. I’m not sure I can be bothered to fix that.

Actually it was easy. You must have changed the file path by putting file-type-icons into a folder ‘assets’.

UPDATE `wp_postmeta`
SET `meta_value` = replace(meta_value, ‘https://yoursite/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/file-type-icons/’, ‘https://yoursite/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/assets/file-type-icons/’)

Which retains the original various file icons.

So is there any way to use the database to set any unchecked ‘Enable Password Lock’ in the All Files list where the file is actually password protected?

Without this option being in ‘Bulk Actions’ it is incredibly laborious to change a large number of files.
