by Louis Friederichs·2 weeks ago
Probeer dit te gebruiken i.s.m. Paid Membership Pro. Even goed doordenken voor het in gebruik te nemen. Wel de oplossing voor mijn vraagstuk!

Ce plugin est gratuit et constitue une solution de gestion des téléchargements à la fois simple, performante et conviviale. Il répond parfaitement à mes besoins.
Un grand merci aux développeurs pour cette version gratuite, précieuse et indispensable pour ceux qui n’ont pas la possibilité d’acquérir la version payante.
Fastest at releasing OBR documents

Brilliant plugin for making it easy and surprisingly fast to download important documents. You also have many security options via server configuration and membership plugins to restrict access if that is what you want.
Excellent Plugin
by smb5564·4 months ago
I got this plugin to serve digital downloads on a woocommerce site. I was having trouble implementing a custom feature and reached out to customer service. They replied very quickly and was able to provide some custom code to get what I needed done. Excellent customer service, highly recommended.
