Can someone explain the downloads manager to me. I am uploading multiple files in the download folder but nothing is showing up in the downloads manager.

Thanks.

Have you noticed the warning on your Beats page?

Well I fixed that problem then screwed it up so I just reinstalled it. So we will see what happens.

[dbltoe]

Sure.

You need to do what it says.

Correction -- SAID. You removed the item(s). Search the tutorials for download.

Lol sorry I'm new at this. But this time there is no error and it's still not showing my files. Is there some kind of setting that needs to be changed?

You don't have any products ...

Still not seeing anything in the downloads manager. I'm trying to set it up to where you download the file once you buy it.

I'm still seeing nothing in the downloads manager. I re installed it. No errors. Uploaded files into the download folder. No errors. Nothing shows in the downloads manager. I add products. No errors. Still nothing showing. Any ideas?

There is a specific procedure for attaching downloadable files to products: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=71
Once you have created your products, you must then add the attribute to the product, using the correct attribute type and linking the file in the attribute controller. The FAQ article explains the process.

The download manager doesn't simply show you a list of files you've uploaded. Instead, it shows you the list of files you've connected to products using the prescribed method.

Ah thank you so much.
