Editing Template Files:

If you want to customize a view in your own way, you need to edit template files inside /plugins/wpdm-arhive-page/src/Templates/****/views/ dir. Please follow the following steps to edit a template file so that the new update doesn’t erase your changes:

1. Create a dir path download-manager/wpdm-arhive-page/**** inside your active theme directory if it is already not there. Here replace  **** with simple or flat or filter or compact, depending on the template dir name, from where you are moving the template file.
2. For example, if you are editing template file from /wpdm-archive-page/src/Templates/Filter/views, you need to place it in {active-theme-dir}/download-manager/wpdm-arhive-page/filter/
3. Copy all the files you need to modify
4. Update template file(s) in {active-theme-dir}/download-manager/wpdm-arhive-page/**** dir as per your need
