Member Only Download Without Fancy Display

[ChrissyW]

Hi,

I would like to use a Member Only Download button without any of the fancy displays, i.e. just the button.

Reason being I use Elementor page builder for my product displays as it’s mostly videos that I’m selling.

Is there a way to do this please, or to have a simple Download now button that I put the protected code into so it only works for the correct member level?

Thanks in advance

Have you tried these instructions?

Hi, I did try those instructions but I’m using wp eStore in conjunction with wp eMember. I wanted to automatically show a Buy Button for a product to non-members and a Download Button to Members.

I can’t work out how to do that without the fancy display. I only need the button element, not the rest of the fancy display that comes with it.

Or, alternatively, can I use a Download Button, but have it only work for Members of a certain level?

If so I could put this alongside or under the normal Buy Button for the product.

Thanks in advance.

You’re going to use an eMember feature called “Partial Protection,” to create a page that conditionally displays one button to a particular member level, and another button to non members.

Does this help? Remember, each conditional section gets its own button. Anything that is common to both sets of users will go outside the partial protection sections.

Sorry to labour the point, but I bought WP eMember for the sole purpose of using the WP eStore Members Only Download Button Plugin.

The intention was to have a single button, which is displayed as a Buy Button, or a Download Button, conditional upon whether the Member is logged in and has access to the particular product in the eStore.

The concept is perfect for what I wanted, but the available shortcodes produce Fancy Displays with images, descriptions, pricing etc, which I don’t want.

I just want the button part.

I do understand the concept of creating a protected section with a separate Download Now Button and protecting it with eMember, but I could achieve that with a different Membership plugin I already own, i.e. without the need to have purchased WP eMember.

Okay, I misunderstood the request. You are using this addon?

And you only want to see “Just the button.”

You are limited to the fancy display formats shown here:

There are some elements that can be left empty, in the setup, to achieve something close to what you want. But to get “just the button” will require editing of the addon’s PHP code.

Hi again, yes I’m using the addon. Sorry if that wasn’t clear from my initial posts.

I’m not familiar with PHP so that sounds like something outside of my capability unfortunately, unless there are any tips for how to edit it and what to change?

Also I requested new downloads for the other plugins I own. How long does it normally take for me to receive those please?

Thanks again.

If you are unfamiliar with PHP coding, you could either hire a programmer of your choice, or request a custom work order quote, and a developer will get in touch with you:

Thank you. No, I requested the new downloads manually using the form (2 separate submissions) as I couldn’t locate my transaction IDs.

Hi Chrissy,

Using the section protection shortcode to wrap the download now button is the preferred solution for this. The section protection shortcode can be configured so it shows one section for members and then a different section for non-members.

We don’t have an existing solution for what you are asking for in terms of the eStore members only download addon. It will need a custom development job for this. If you are interested, use this form:

I have also emailed you the download links for the update.
