Restrict Content Pro Download Monitor

Description

The Download Monitor addon connects the file library of the Download Monitor plugin to the subscription levels of Restrict Content Pro, restricting each download only to members with the corresponding active plan. The integration reads the registered packages, links them to specific levels, and blocks the direct link for visitors without permission, giving control over who accesses each file within a members’ portal.

Key Features of the Download Monitor

• Restriction by subscription level
  Links each download to one or more levels registered in Restrict Content Pro.
• Direct link blocking
  Prevents file URLs from being accessed outside the context of an authenticated member.
• Integration with existing library
  Utilizes packages already registered in Download Monitor without requiring a new parallel structure.
• Granular control per file
  Allows setting individual rules on each download, not just by categories.
• Checkout flow compatibility
  Unlocks access to files automatically after the subscription is confirmed in Restrict Content Pro.

How to Download the Download Monitor

The Download Monitor is available for download here in Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the .zip and activate.
