Only allow logged in users to download free product

[bynatasha]

Hi,

I’m just creating my membership site and I have the following question:

I have a free download, but I want users to be logged in in order to be able to download it.

I tried using the shortcode [emember_protected] and some others, but I don’t like the fact that they show the message.

I would like to do one of the following:

1. Ideally, I would like to be able to prompt users to the ‘Join Us’ page as soon as they click on the ‘Download Now’ button.

2. I would like to protect the download form (I have used the shortcode for the squeeze page) and only allow logged in users to download the product but with only showing the ‘compact login’ form.

How can I do that? I’m a bit lost in the information here!

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

“I tried using the shortcode [emember_protected] and some others, but I don’t like the fact that they show the message.”

You can easily hide the message by using the following section protected code, eg,

[emember_protected for=3 do_not_show_restricted_msg=1]

put your protected content here

[/emember_protected]

(where 3 above is an example membership level id)

Review the full documentation on section protection to see all the available option of that feature:
