WordPress File Manager Plugin (CMDM) - Getting Started - JS and CSS errors


JavaScript Errors

Back to User Guides

The WordPress File Manager plugin is partly based on JavaScript. When there is a JS error in another script, the browser stops the JS interpreter from working which can cause various issues.

If you are having any of the following problems with the WordPress File Manager plugin, this could be caused by a JS error on your console. 

  • File List Shortcode: URL download package is not displaying a download button.
  • File Upload: File upload does not work, and redirects you to a page that doesn't have CSS applied.
  • Request Email Address for File Download: When this option is enabled, the user name or email input are not displayed.

To solve this issue, navigate to the Admin Dashboard â†’ CM Downloads Pro â†’ Settings.

CSS Errors

If you notice issues with the WP Editor's CSS, or if the top user bar icons don't display on the upload page, you may need to fix the dashboard CSS. The WordPress File Manager plugin has a built-in setting that allows you to correct this issue.
