MemberPress Downloads

This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page

Core Features & Specifications

• Advanced File Management:

  • Direct Uploads: Upload files directly through the WordPress admin area into a dedicated “Files” section.

  • Organization: Supports Categories and Tags specifically for your downloads, making it easier to manage hundreds of files.

  • Custom URLs: Generates unique, protected URLs for each file to prevent “hotlinking” or unauthorized direct access.

• Access Control & Protection:

  • MemberPress Integration: Use the standard MemberPress Rules to protect files. You can restrict access based on membership level, specific user, or even by the file’s category/tag.

  • Direct Access Blocking: Prevents users from bypassing your paywall by guessing the direct file path on your server.

  • Bot Protection: Includes built-in measures to block bots from crawling and downloading your premium assets.

• Download Limits:

  • Total Limit: Set a maximum number of times a file can be downloaded globally (e.g., “Only the first 100 people get this”).

  • User Limit: Restrict how many times a specific member can download a file (e.g., “Each member can only download this twice”).

  • Redirects: Define a specific URL where users are sent if they attempt to download a file after reaching their limit.

• Tracking & Analytics:

  • Download Counts: View real-time stats on how many times each file has been accessed.

  • User Logs: Track which specific members downloaded which files and when.

Why use this instead of standard “Protect Files”?

While core MemberPress can protect files via URI rules, the Downloads Add-on is superior because:

• It provides statistics (knowing who downloaded what).

• It allows download caps (limiting quantity).

• It simplifies bulk protection (protecting an entire category of files with one rule).
