Overview
Limit access to specified media files to logged in users. Very simple interface with no unnecessary features.
Create a new ‘Download’ post, give it a title and upload a file for it. Files are stored in a protected directory under wp-content/uploads. This prevents anyone from accessing a file, even if they have the url.
Access is via a custom download url that can be copied from the plugin’s admin screen.
Downloads can be assigned categories though these are for site admin organisation use and are not used in the custom url.
The download url is not the url of the file; it is a custom url with the post ID. This allows you update the downloadable file without having to change the download url.
The plugin is enabled for translation.
