MemberPress Downloads Add-on

MemberPress Downloads is an official MemberPress add-on designed to provide advanced access control and tracking for the downloadable files you share with your members. If you run a membership site, online courses, or a subscriber community, this extension lets you distribute PDFs, images, videos, ZIP files, and other digital resources securely and in an organized manner.

With MemberPress Downloads, you can upload multiple files directly from your WordPress dashboard, tag or categorize them, and list them on your site using a simple shortcode. Each file receives a unique URL, allowing you to protect it with MemberPress rules just as you would with any other content on your site. This means only members with the appropriate access level will be able to download the resources you specify.

The add-on eliminates the need to rely on the WordPress media browser to manage your membership files. You now have full control over all your membership content, including files. Additionally, it works on almost all web servers and most hosting configurations, so you don't need a specialized server or custom .htaccess rules. If you can upload files to WordPress, you can use MemberPress Downloads.

Its most notable features include tracking the number of downloads per file, allowing you to see which resources are most valuable to your members, and the ability to protect files with the same access rules you already use for your pages and posts. You can also set download limits and link expiration for even more granular control.

This add-on is ideal for membership sites that need to distribute digital products, course materials, templates, reference documents, software, or exclusive content. It is especially useful for online courses, coaching programs, subscription communities, and any business that requires detailed control over downloadable resources and the ability to enforce download limits.

MemberPress Downloads integrates natively with the MemberPress ecosystem, so if you already use this membership plugin, installation and configuration are simple and straightforward. Everything is managed from the same dashboard, with no need for external tools or complex configurations.
