    I use WPDM on several sites. I am finding that one of the sites has an “Asset Manager” function. I’m not sure what I might have done to enable that on one website, but is there a way to disable it?

  • Hello @matt6303,
    Thank you for your question.
    You can disable the Assent Manager option by using the below code in the wp-config.php file.
    define('WPDM_ASSET_MANAGER', false);
    Thanks

    Thank you very much for the prompt reply. I added that to the wp-config file and the menu option is no longer showing in the WordPress dashboard, and I get “sorry, you are not allowed to view this page” when attempting to go to the direct URL. I appreciate it.

    Once taking care of this, what additional steps can I take to permanently remove the wpdm-assets folder from my wp-content directory? I presume this folder is connected to the Asset Manager functionality, since it also is not present on my other WPDM sites. But when I delete the folder, it immediately is re-created. I’d prefer to permanently remove this folder since it is not needed. Thank you.

    Hi @matt6303,
    The folder is not related to the Asset Manager function.
    WPDM creates it automatically and you can use it to add additional assets into that directory. All sites with the latest version of WPDM will have that directory by default. On the other hand, it stores custom assets like link templates and page templates.
    Hope you understand.
    Thanks.
