The reason is so that different authors will be able to post with a standard template and more structural in a way. Have you had a look at podsframework. Now that Angela mentions it, yes that would be an excellent solution. I think Gravity forms can also accommodate this when combined with Custom Post Types. The files I want to make available for download are created as the result of a non-logged in user,s form inputs i. So I am looking for a download manager that has a broad enough API that it can automaticially add a new download file via the API ideally using a product template to the the files, price and control features are copied from.
Do any of these do that?? Appreciate the post! Just wanted to show some love for taking the time to write this article. Very helpful. Hi, i am looking for a solution for people to put upload file to out ftp server. Jean Any suggestions if I need an alert on file expiration, When file expires I need a notification email sent out to the admin that the file is about to expire.
So each product will have graphics files and branding guides and perhaps even a few videos. I would really like to be able to show thumbnails automatically generated of course of all files or the file type icon and an option to download or preview.
Primarily as a repository for uploads and downloads but again with nice thumbnails and previews. Thanks for this extensive list. I have become the new webmaster for my club site, and as such, and trying some new things. We currently have a very archaic site that has to be updated each time a document is added, such as monthly meeting minutes, or a news letter. I am looking to replace that with something more dynamic, using WordPress as the front end.
It seems several of the plug ins you mentioned here would do the trick, so I am curios which one would be the best. I manage and Institute at the University of Houston and we have lots of corporate members who have authored white papers and other studies. They want to be able to share these documents with people in our industry. What tool would be the most effective way to gather these documents and allow people to log in and download whatever they are interested in.
It was discontinued for a while, now there is a new version, updated the post, thanks for reminding me. Hi nice post Came across your site when searching for a plugin or maybe a mix of plugins to achieve the following.. If the link self expires would be desired too. You know of such functionalities? Their service is the absolute worst I have ever seen.
Hi, is there a download manager so user get 1 on 1 sharing. Great article, thanks for sharing. These is a lot of useful information to take away from this post. Perfect for folks who have clients who have staff. Remember, I have NOT purchased or installed, just going by feature-set. I want to put premium content such as white papers behind a registration form. This premium content will be written by various third party authors, and I want to share the contact info of my members with the authors whose content got them to sign up.
For example, an author will write Paper A, so I want to be able to identify every member who downloaded Paper A and share that with her, but not members who only downloaded Paper B. My question is, which of these plugins will allow me to export a csv file containing email addresses of everybody who downloaded a particular file?
WordPress Download Manager has all the features you need there. Came across your site when searching for a plugin,Appreciate the post! Useful article, but its not economy for big sites like movie sites. I using big and unlimited free storage like megafile to upload and keep my files. Then i use uploaded link to share on my site content. Its my experience on data storage, finally because of economy reason you need a trustable free storage. Thank you for this overview of document management plugins.
I was looking for document management plugins to create a system that meet ISO standards. I have been using professional DMS software before, but I think it has to be possible to compose the same thing using wordpress as a CMS. That one might be interesting reviewing. You can use the external document server and call lists of documents at your website. Good recommendation. Wordfence Security is a great security app too. I use it and it provides functions of three plugins from the above combined.
Login locking, Force locking out bots or heavy users or lechers and many more. Glenn Shepherd actually talked about this in one of his first Techy Thursday webinars. There are two free plugins that we can get to cover a lot of what you mentioned and some things not mentioned here:. One of the things not mentioned has to do with the changing the login page URL from the standard one provided by WP when you first install it. It can be done in the All In One plugin listed above.
Each one is added as a post or custom post, and the plugin dynamically displays them as an interactive table which you can search, sort etc. Hi Jack, you could do this using Gravity Forms which can automatically create a post with the download attached when a user submits the form. You can then hold it for moderation by the administrator if needed.
You could then display the user-submitted posts or custom posts in the usual way or as a table using Posts Table Pro — barn2. Ajudou muito. Nice collection! There is a free version as well as a Pro version. I have seen comments about this which are more than 3 years old on the plugin forums for Download Monitor, which has a new owner.
Hey Sam, have you contacted their support team about this issue, or did you just see the existing comments? Interesting Article What is a good word press solution to allow automatic access to files only after registering through an online NDA or contact form etc…? This will send their details to you via email. Alternatively, do you mean that you want to show the document library to everyone but only allow people to download files after they register.
Advanced Access Manager comes with a shortcode that you can wrap around the download button or links so that they only appear for logged in users with the correct role. Thanks for compiling these plugins but I like the idea of SharePoint when sharing a secured file for a specific client.
Thanks for the list. I think Prevent Direct Access Gold is also a good file management to try out. It allows users to protect and manage WordPress media files in the Media Library. Each protected file will have one management popup including all its information such as private download links, expiration time, download limit, access permission, and ton more. You happen to know if any of these will do a download rotation?
So i think before choosing these plugins. Always do some research first, check reviews and always check the security of the plugin. I have run into issues support has been fast and helped me solve them, most have not been issues with the plugins by my implementation, I highly can recommend.

This page is really useful for fixing this issue, but I just want it to stop! I read this article but the sharing and permissions menu on a mac does not show a numeric value field.
For files you state to give permissions for owner,group,others. Why do you give file read permissions 4 to others. Is there some reason others require file read permissions, why are all files not set to ?
Thanks for the tutorial. I could fix this problem for files already on the website, but everytime new files are uploaded they have the same problem again! If this issue is constant, we would recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to take a look at possible causes. Any other ideas? You would want to check with the localhost tool you are using for your site as which one you are using would determine the options you have available and the possible issues. Thanks for sharing another recommendation people can try.
Any help? And i have to do the permissions again. If the method in this article does not remove that error, you would want to reach out to your hosting provider. Thank you, have a great day!
