What’s new in Download Monitor - Document Library Manager 4.6.5
Version 4.6.5 · Sep 10, 2026
Latest
- NewFeatured Only option for the downloads listing.
What it does
Direct download links work fine for one or two files, but they get hard to manage once you have a growing library of documents, software or resources. Visitors end up scrolling through long lists or hunting for the right link. This addon gives your Download Monitor files a proper home: a dedicated page where people can browse by category or tag, check featured items, search, and open a detail page with context before they grab a file.
Setup centers on the [download_page] shortcode. Place it on a page and it builds the layout for you, with shortcode parameters that control how many featured downloads, categories, tags and search results appear in each section. Lists can be sorted and paginated, categories can be hierarchical, and you can choose to show only featured downloads in the listing. It requires Download Monitor, and developers can extend or customize it with code.
Best for
- Sites sharing documents, software or other downloadable files
- Digital product sellers with growing file catalogs
- Lead generation sites offering resources and lead magnets
Features
Download page shortcode
The [download_page] shortcode creates a self-contained page that gathers your downloads into one structured layout with categories, tags, featured files and search.
Adjustable section sizes
Shortcode parameters let you set how many featured downloads, categories, tags and search results are shown, so each section stays the size you want.
Categories and tags
Downloads are listed by tag and by hierarchical category in sortable, paginated lists, which helps visitors narrow down a large library.
Detailed download pages
Each file can have its own detail page with multiple versions, a description, a thumbnail, custom fields and a direct download link.
Built-in search box
A search box on the download page lets visitors filter across your downloads and find a specific file without browsing every category.
Featured only listing
An option for the downloads listing limits it to featured downloads, useful when you want to highlight a short selection of files.
Customizable with code
Developers can extend or adjust the addon to match a brand or workflow, while non-coders can use it through the shortcode alone.
