I am looking for a plugin that will work with the free Members plugin by MemberPress which allows for custom roles to be created. Then we need to be able to upload about 100 PDF's and have different PDF's show on one download page based on member level. For example User A at level bronze sees 14 files but user B at gold level sees 48 files on the same page after login. In addition, its critical we hide the direct url path when people download or hover over a file.

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us here about this extension.

Our plugin integrates seamlessly with the Members plugin!
You can create custom roles directly in Members and then assign them to specific categories or files within our plugin's settings, giving you full control over who sees what.
This means you can easily set up different access levels (such as Bronze, Gold, etc.) and display only the relevant files to each member type on the same download page.

For a detailed step-by-step guide on how to configure file access and management limitations, please visit:

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Cheers,

Great. Are the file paths obfuscated as well to prevent direct access?
Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me with more information.

Yes, absolutely! Even if a user somehow knows the file URL, they won't be able to download it without the proper permissions.
Access is controlled server-side, so the URL alone is never enough.

Cheers,
