Topic: Download link not showing in post nor in download page

[rana]

Hi,

This plugin was still working when I was using the previous version of WP until I updated to 2.8.5. The list of download still shows in the admin section, but the links don't show in my post nor in the download page and even in the sidebar.

I use this code: [download id="24"]   

I am currently using Duffy 1.0 by InfoCreek.com
I tried the default WP theme, but still doesn't work. I deleted the entire plugin and re-installed again but still doesn't work.

Thank you for your help.

ensure that the code [download id="24"] is a line on its own and it is entered using the html editor.

Hi,

I tried that but still not working...

the widget does not work either in my sidebar.
it shows N/A under downloads section..

Try removing the widget and re-adding it also ensure you are using WP-DownloadManager 1.50

As for why the shortcode does not work, I have no idea, maybe a problem with WP instead. Search for "shortcode" in this forums

I was having the same problem.
Turns out that when I upgraded all file permissions were changed to "hidden" by default.
It's the second time this happens. A bug perhaps?
Also, I wish there was a way to do batch changes to multiple files. It was real hard to manually change every single file's permission back to "all".

Oh that problem, weird I thought I fixed it. I will take a look at it again. You can run SQL query to fix it.

hi
thank you for your replies

Just to make sure for the SQL query.. do I put this

$wpdb->query("UPDATE $wpdb->downloads SET file_permission = -2 WHERE file_permission = -1;");
$wpdb->query("UPDATE $wpdb->downloads SET file_permission = -1 WHERE file_permission = 0;");
$wpdb->query("UPDATE $wpdb->downloads SET file_permission = 0 WHERE file_permission = 1;");

to the box when click run SQL?

or can I change the file permissions by ftp?

[GaMerZ]

Code: [Select]

UPDATE wp_downloads SET file_permission = -2 WHERE file_permission = -1;

Code: [Select]

UPDATE wp_downloads SET file_permission = -1 WHERE file_permission = 0;

Code: [Select]

UPDATE wp_downloads SET file_permission = 0 WHERE file_permission = 1;
One query at a time.

Ok, i run the SQL query, but is it normal that is says there is 0 affected rows?
I'm sorry, I never mess around phpmyadmin..

After that, I deactivated then activated the plugin;change the layout to classic; took out the widget and put it back in...nothing happened. It still shows n/a on my sidebar unders downloads, and none in the post..

I am using WP download 1.50..hmmm..I don't get this..

thank you again for your help!

[rana]

hmm...the files are still hidden.
Maybe I'm doing the SQL query wrong..please help

I got where to change the file permission, actually I changed the allowed downloads to everyone. I didn't notice that. It worked, but I have to change them one by one. I still don't know how to use phpmyadmin on that..
