WP-Filebase – Datei Download Manager für WordPress 16. September 2009
WP-Filebase is a powerful file/download management plugin for WordPress.
It uses a category/sub-category/file taxonomy to keep everything structured. Providing a template system, the plugin is made for consistent output for file attachements and file lists including pagination and search functions.
With WP-Filebase you can…
- create dynamic paginated and sortable file lists
- build photo galleries
- embed flash (or other formats) videos using a template player
- easily publish MP3 and other audio files with automatic ID3 tag detection
- restrict downloads for certain user roles
- upload files from the front-end via widgets
Check out WIP documentantion before leaving a comment below. Feel free to post any bugs or feature requests. And remember: cool people donate.
Currently in Development:
- File Tags: Like tags of WordPress Articles, files can have multiple tags. In 0.2.9.9 you can only set tags and display them with the template variable %file_tags%. Listing all files with the same tags and tag links are not implemented yet.
- Bulk Actions, I know they are greatly missed
I also am seeing some problems with WP 3.0 and this plugin.
1) all my hit counters have gone to 0
2) all my last download dates have gone to -
But luckily it still handles downloads. Haven’t tried uploads yet.
Great plugin!
Since is possible to automatically create thumbnails from a PDF file (e.g. http://www.redvodkajelly.com/blog/2008/04/15/how-to-create-pdf-preview-images-in-php-part-2/), can we expect to have this feature soon?

Does anyone know if there will be WordPress 3.0-version of this plugin? Some say this version work with 3.0, but it would be nice with a version that has been tested and if necessary updated for WP3.0.
Testing for WP 3.0 is in progress. This Blog is now on 3.0 with WP-Filebase running fine.
I didn’t experience this hit counter issue. Will explore this.
More things about WP 3.0.1:
1) Can not add thumbnail to existing file (Tools->WP Filebase->Manage Files->Edit file, error: “Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in [...]/wp-content/plugins/wp-filebase/wp-filebase_file.php on line 247″)
2) Permalinks fails
Storage linked to page “/files”. If permalinks ON, link to “library” section in root is: “/fileslibrary” (404). Manually “/files/library” in location bar – OK.

Thank you for the great plugin! The issue I am having with it, however, is when you go in to edit the file, it seems that the thumbnail is getting erased when uploading a new file (not touching the thumbnail settings at all). Any way to resolve this?
Also, when I do a synchronize with the server after uploading a bunch of files via FTP, it also uploads all of the thumbnails as files. If I delete the thumbnails from the filebase, they get deleted from the server and than I have to manually re-add them to the files.”
Is there going to be a fix for this?
Great plugin btw!
will wp-filebase be included in the wordpress search function? as of now, files do not show up the search results…

Can you make a files per page option,because i have 1700 pps files and i would like to show 50 files per page and not all at once.
Any news/updates about the WP3 version of WP-filebase?
Hi Fabian
well.. first of all congratulation for your great plugin. I think it’s the best file download plugin ever seen for wordpress!
I’m trying to use it in a Red Cross website, but I got an issue, using PHP5, wp 3.0.1 and latest version of your plugin
admin side is ok, but when I try to attac a file, or a category list to any page, I push the little icon, a popup shows up with files/categories choice.. but when i choose to insert the file… nothing happens. Popup closes but nothing is inserted in the arcticle.
no error shown in page.
many thanks for your help
best regards,
Francesco
The new update has a counter bug. All the counters are stuck and not working. Can you tell me a fix for this please?
how to include counter in custom themes ?
how to show download statistics, or show last uploaded file in a widget ?
thanks
I guess there still are no news about an update that makes this plugin work with WP 3.0.1? Sad.
Busy with other things atm. Are you using IE? If yes, try using Firefox. This issue is known and happens only on some blogs. I’m working on an update, that should fix this.
Really appreciate it man…
@francesco
Go into widgets and add the filebase widget to your sidebar.. simple
Great Plug-in.
Is there a way to limit the number of download files displayed on a page? I’m going to have hundreds of files and it would be nice to only show maybe 20 at a time with a link at the bottom.
I too am having problems with the counter not keeping track of the number of downloads with WP 3.0.1
Yes, the counter was working in the older version with wp 3.0.1 but the updated one isnt.
@Mike
You can add whatever number of links you want in your post.
@Saqib Mansoor
Thanks for your reply. However, I don’t think I was clear. Let’s say I have 100 downloadable files. I want to display the first 20. Then at the bottom of the screen it say or or whatever. Then on the second page it would say . These would be links to the previous and next 20 files.
That way visitors won’t have to scroll through 100 (or maybe hundreds) of files on one page.
Mike
well you want to display 20 links per post on your site. You can try creating categories. 1 category for each 20 links.
[...] WP-Filebase – This plugin allows us to offer downloadable files. We can insert them into posts now. The first post we used this on was our work on Saskatchewan Energy Future. [...]
Very handy plug-in for restricting attachment downloads to authenticated users;
although the distinction between redirect to login form, category “For members only”
and file “For members only” is unclear.
One minor nit though, the post browser for attaching files on the upload page does
not list private posts… which adds a few extra steps for those wishing to use this
nifty module to protect files.
Cheers!
Thanks and congrats, great plugin!
I’m using it mainly because I want to limit download speeds for each users and it’s working really fine.
There are two things I’d really want to be there though:
1. link to file to download, instead of having to upload through WP, as WP limits uploaded file size to a maximum of 16MB.
2. adjustable timeout for downloads, as it’s limited to 60 secs now (or is it only my WP?)
Anyway, thank you so much.
Hello,
I have used wp-filebase and it works fine. The only problem is that the screen in tools-> wp-filebase does not appear. I have tried reinstalling. disabling all plugins, and only activat the wp-filebase plugin, but the screen does not appear.
The screen in settings->wp-filebase does work.
Jeroen.
