 * I am setting up this Download Manager application on a couple websites to see
   if it is the right direction for our needs. When I use the Front End shortcode
   provided, nothing happens: [wpdm_frontend]
 * It simply shows me the shortcode and nothing else. Other shortcodes are working
   just fine, but not this one. There is something in the instructions about setting
   the upload page in Settings, but I do not see this in my admin panel. [https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_frontend-front-end-uploader-ui/](https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/doc/short-codes/wpdm_frontend-front-end-uploader-ui/)
 * I tried this on a website with no other plugins installed, so I know nothing 
   is interfering.
 * How do I get the front end form to work?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi [@multimediocrity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/multimediocrity/)
 * Greetings and Welcome to the Support forum.
 * `[wpdm_frontend]`shortcode is not available with the Free version and will only
   work with the Pro version.
 * I hope it answers your query.
 * With Regards
