 * Hello,
 * I’m using shortcode to display download files from one category like that :
    [
   wpdm_category id=”my-category” toolbar=”0″ paging=”0″ order=”desc” items_per_page
   =”3″ template=”link-template-default-old”]
 * I don’t want to display pagination also : paging=”0″
 * PHP Error on front end :
    Notice: Undefined variable: pagination in /…/wordpress/
   wp-content/plugins/download-manager/tpls/shortcodes/category.php on line 18
 * —–
    Plugin dev fix proposal : Check if $pagination exists in the template file
   OR declare $pagination = “” before line 341 in wp-content/plugins/download-manager/
   libs/class.CategoryHandler.php —–
 * User dev temporarly fix :
    Thanks to the plugin developers, you can easly overwrite
   the shortcode template. – Create file wp-content/themes/egovenz-child/download-
   manager/shortcodes/category.php – Copy the content from wp-content/plugins/download-
   manager/tpls/shortcodes/category.php – Change line 18 to <?php if (isset($pagination)){
   echo $pagination; } ?>
 * Hope this help.
 * WP 5.5.1
    WP DM 3.1.07
