Toolbar style changed after upgrading to 2.9.42

I have reverted to version 2.9.4 (from 2.9.42) to restore the compact toolbar with the [wpdm_category] shortcode. When you have a way for me to upgrade while retaining the compact toolbar (pull-down menus for Asc/Desc and Order By), please let us know.

Thank you again for your support and for a great plugin!

I’m not sure if this helps to explain the toolbar style issue that I reported (above), but it looks like the toolbar style change is the result of coding changes in wpdm-functions.php. If this change is related to the “Added page template selection option” change that you applied in 2.9.41 and there is a template setting that will restore the compact toolbar, please let me know.

Thank you very much for your great plugin and your support.

Don’t worry, we shall add old compact toolbar as a short-code option with the next update.

Thank you! Looking forward to the update with the new short-code.

Thanks again for this great plugin and great support!

Hi, @codename065,

Did 2.9.43 include this new short-code option to restore the compact toolbar?

Thank you.

Sorry, not yet, it will be available with next update for sure ??

Hi, @codename065,

Did 2.9.44 include this new short-code option to restore the compact toolbar?

Thank you.

Sorry no, but we have restored it for next update (v2.9.46)

@codename065,

Thank you for posting v2.9.46. Could you please let me know the shortcode option for [wpdm_category] to restore the compact toolbar?

Thank you.

@codename065,

Sorry to bug you about this. Could you please post the shortcode option for [wpdm_category] to restore the compact toolbar in v2.9.46?

Thank you.

please use parameter toolbar="skinny" with shortcode,like:

[wpdm_category id="category" toolbar="skinny"]

@w3eden,

Thank you for the suggestion; however

[wpdm_category id="category" toolbar="skinny"]

does not retore the “skinny” toolbar style. We’re running WPDM_Extended_Shortcodes 2.7.2 and Download_Manager 2.9.48 with WordPress 4.7.3.

If you have any other suggestions to restore the original “skinny” toolbar style (short of reverting to Download_Manager 2.9.4 which we are already doing), please let me know.

Thank you.

It should look like this:

Please give me your URL to check.

@w3eden,

You are correct – that is the new “skinny” toolbar format in version 2.9.48. The original toolbar format (the format in version 2.9.4 that we prefer) displayed the “ORDER” and “ORDER BY” as pull-down menus.

We have two prototype websites that implement the Download Manager plugin. Site 1 is on version 2.9.48. Site 2 is on 2.9.4.

Site 1: https://www.deerfieldknoll.com

Site 2: https://www.riverhoa.org

We would like to apply a short code option to Site 1 (version 2.9.48) that restores the toolbar to the format in Site 2 (version 2.9.4).

If you cannot see the websites, it is because your CIDR is blocked. If you can’t see the websites, just let me know how I can send you a screenshot.

Thank you.

Sorry, The 2.9.4 style is not possible anymore, as removed drop-download, it is was causing trouble for my users, so now, we changed those into buttons, which is also easier to use.
