MemberPress AWS

Description

AWS addon connects private content to Amazon S3, generating temporary links for protected files and embedding audio or video in pages and posts via MediaElement Player. In MemberPress, this extension adds a convenient flow to release downloads, lessons, internal materials, and media restricted only to authorized members, reducing direct exposure of files on the WordPress server.

Main Features

• Files on Amazon S3
  Hosts private materials in S3 buckets linked to the site.
• Temporary links
  Generates expiring URLs for downloads accessed by authorized members.
• Subscription protection
  Restricts files according to access rules configured in MemberPress.
• Embedded media
  Displays protected audio and video in WordPress pages and posts.
• Compatible player
  Uses MediaElement Player for playback on desktop and mobile browsers.

AWS Benefits

• Less public exposure
  Paid files stay out of permanent URLs easily shareable.
• More controlled distribution
  Members access materials based on active permissions, plans, and rules.
• Lighter server
  Heavy downloads and media are hosted on S3 infrastructure.
• Protected premium content
  Courses, videos, and internal files gain an additional control layer.

Who Is It For?

• Member sites distributing protected digital files.
• Course creators with videos, audios, and materials for subscribers.
• Companies using MemberPress to control access to private content.

AWS fits subscription operations that need to separate storage, access, and media playback without relying solely on WordPress’s default library. By combining S3, expiring links, and MemberPress permissions, the module helps keep restricted materials under control and eases file distribution to paying members or authorized groups.
