<p>Limit access to specified media files to logged in users. Very simple interface with no unnecessary features.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Access is via a custom download url that can be copied from the plugin’s admin screen.</p>
<p>Downloads can be assigned categories though these are for site admin organisation use and are not used in the custom url.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The plugin is enabled for translation.</p>
<p>If you find a bug, have a feature request or want to translate the plugin, please create an issue via the plugin’s <a href="https://github.com/damiencarbery/downloads-for-logged-in-users/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub repository</a>.</p>

<h3>ToDo</h3>
<ul>
<li>Change list view Download link to a link (to allow right click Copy Link) though block left click with JavaScript.</li>
<li>Add a feature to move items from Media Library to private downloads CPT – possible ‘Pro’ option.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Developer information</h3>
<p>The access can be changed with the ‘<em>liudownload_check_perms</em>‘ filter, returning true to allow the download.<br />
For example:</p>
<pre><code><?php
// If the download ID is 1 then allow the download.
add_filter( 'liudownload_check_perms', 'my_download_perms_check', 10, 2 );
function my_download_perms_check( $user_logged_in, $download_id ) {
    if ( 1 == $download_id ) { return true; }

    return $user_logged_in;
}
</code></pre>
<p>After a file has been downloaded the ‘<em>liudownload_after_download</em>‘ action runs. This could allow tracking of downloads.<br />
For example:</p>
<pre><code><?php
add_action( 'liudownload_after_download', 'note_downloads' );
function note_downloads( $download_id ) {
    $download_count = get_post_meta( $download_id, 'dl_count', true );
    if ( $download_count ) {
        $download_count++;
    } else {
        $download_count = 1;
    }
    update_post_meta( $download_id, 'dl_count', $download_count );
}
</code></pre>
