Download Manager Archive Page

Description

The Archive Page automatically generates directory pages for the Download Manager, organizing your files into browsable catalogs with filters by category, tags, and configurable sorting. The add-on adds shortcodes to embed these listings on any page or post on the site, enabling public libraries, member areas, and digital product catalogs with pagination, internal search, and switching between grid or list views.

Key Features

• Automatic directory page: builds a navigable index of all Download Manager packages without needing to manually create each listing.
• Listing shortcodes: embeds collections of files on any page, post, or widget with parameters to limit quantity, sorting, and category.
• Filters and categorization: shows controls for visitors to filter by category, tags, or a search term directly on the catalog page.
• Alternative layouts: switches between grid view with thumbnails or a detailed list view depending on the display scenario.
• Configurable pagination: sets how many files to display per page, keeping load time controlled in large libraries.

Archive Page Benefits

• Centralized catalog: brings all downloads together in a single access point, eliminating the need to manually build separate pages.
• Intuitive navigation: filters, search, and categories help visitors quickly find files in collections with many items.
• Content reuse: shortcodes let you reuse the same listing across different areas of the site with distinct segmentations.
• Scalable structure: supports libraries that grow over time without requiring constant reorganization of WordPress pages.

Who Is It For?

• Sites that maintain digital libraries, document repositories, or public collections.
• Member areas and e-learning platforms that distribute support materials in volume.
• Digital product stores and corporate portals that need to organize file catalogs by category.

Built for those who manage file libraries in the Download Manager and need a ready-to-use presentation layer, the Archive Page saves hours of manual page setup and keeps the catalog always synchronized with the registered downloads. The combination of filters, search, and grid or list layouts gives visitors a direct path to the desired file, even in collections with hundreds of items.
