Prevent not logged users from downloading the elements of your media library that you decide to keep private.



== Description ==


Install and activate **Restricted Media** plugin, then enter the WordPress Media Library, select an element and look at the right sidebar. You'll find two new fields:

* a **checkbox** that let's you define if the selected element is to keep restricted or not
* an **alternative URL** for the element to download

When "Is restricted" checkbox is flagged, the selected element will get downloadable only to logged in users and only through the alternative URL (original URL will display a 404 page). 
When "Is restricted" checkbox is not flagged, media element will be downloadable for not logged in users too, through both the original and the alternative URL.

So, what you need to do to keep a media private is to tick on "Is restricted", copy the Alternative URL provided and paste it on pages or posts where you want the let the media to be downloaded: if a not logged in user tries to download it, he will be redirect to homepage or to the page you have defined into "Restricted Media" plugin options. 

Since release 1.2 it is now possible to prevent access to selected pages, post and public custom posts by checking "Is restricted" into post editor.

That's it! Simple, effective and safe.

In association with [Main Entrance](https://wordpress.org/plugins/main-entrance/), Restricted Media helps you to build a restricted content page, for allowing to download documents only to logged in users.
