WordPress Download Manager Pro Download Folders in Archive

If you use WordPress Download Manager Pro (WPDM) to handle your website's downloads, you may have encountered the need to make your downloads available in an archive format. This is particularly useful if you have many files that you want to make available to your users at once, or if you want to compress your files to save space on your server.

Thankfully, WPDM makes it easy to create archive files from your download folders. Below, we'll walk you through the steps required to set this up.

Step 1: Create a Download Folder

To start, you'll need to create a download folder within your WordPress site. You can do this by navigating to WPDM > Files.

Click on the "Add New" button to create a new download folder. Give your folder a name, and add any relevant details in the description field.

Once you've created your download folder, add your files by clicking on the "Add New" button within the folder.

Step 2: Open the Download Folder

Navigate to the download folder you created in step 1. You can find this by going to WPDM > Files and finding your download folder in the list.

Click on the folder name to open it.

Step 3: Create an Archive File

Within the download folder, you'll see a button labeled "Create Archive". This will allow you to create an archive file from your download folder. Click on this button to get started.

You'll be asked to choose which files you want to include in the archive file. Select the files you want to include, and choose a format for your archive (e.g. ZIP, RAR).

Once you've made your selections, click on the "Create Archive" button to generate your archive file.

Step 4: Download the Archive File

After you've created your archive file, you can make it available to your users by providing a link to them. You can do this by going to WPDM > Files, finding your download folder, and clicking on the "Download" button next to your archive file.

This will provide you with a link that you can embed in your website or share with your users via email or social media.

Conclusion

Creating archive files from your download folders in WordPress Download Manager Pro is an easy way to make multiple files available to your users at once. By following the steps above, you can create archive files in just a few clicks, and make them available to your users with ease.
