Blocks not working

    Hi,

    I am currently relaunching our website. Part of that process is getting a new download manager up and running. Before, we used WP Filebase, but since this plugin is no longer developped, we needed to change. Worpress Download Manager (free) looks like a viable alternative. The plugin itself seems to be running oK, I can create categories, upload files, etc. Now I want to create apage where users can navigate all available downloads. For that, using Gutenberg Blocks seem to be the way to go. Downloaded and activated the plugin. I then can create a page and insert the respective block. I tried Categories / Category blocks / Packages. Problem: I cannot choose any category or package, the list just remains empty, although there are categories and packages, and they are set to be available for all users. No error message. Plugins are latest versions, as well as WP itself. Any idea of how to tacle that – or some workaround? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Uwe

    If you didn’t enable flat permalink, please enable the option to make it work.

    Hi,

    thanks for your reply. I’m not quite sure what you mean by “flat” – is that “default”? If so, that is active…

    OK, found it. If I use names, it works. I wasn’t aware, however, that I’d need another paid plugin für blocks to work. So, for the time being, I’ll go for tree. Thanks!

    Hi,
    you will not need any paid plugin for Gutenberg Blocks by WordPress Download Manager to work properly.

    Hi,
    thank you for your reply and sorry for the delay.
    I manage to see the blocks. If I, for instance, select the category block and try to tick the respective categories, I get “This block requires WPDM directory add-on”
    And as far as I can see, this is an add-on to be purchased for $49.
    Is there any mistake from my side?
