Protected downloads

Hi all, is it possible to upload files to the protected folder /wp-content/plugins/s2member-files via the admin? I’m creating a website for a client and this would be much easier than sorting it out via FTP.

Cheers :)

Yes in wordpress under settings>media settings>Uploading Files

Just change wp-content/uploads to wp-content/plugins/s2member-files under ‘Store uploads in this folder’ and untick ‘Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders’

Not sure what would happen to existing content uploaded that way though

Hello Epix, thanks for your inquiry.

you can do it as Philly suggested above, or you can use a plugin for s2Member by another user, which has the same functionality that you’re looking for:

This is in the old forums. Hope this helps. :)

Wonderful! Eduan – does that plugin allow you to choose whether your uploading to the regular uploads folder OR the s2member secure folder?

Thanks :)

Thanks for the follow-up.

I believe this plugin is specifically for the s2Member protected downloads folder.

From what I understand, it simply allows you to upload the file to the s2Member protected downloads folder and gives you the shortcode necessary to put a protected download link to that file.

I haven’t really tried it, so you’ll have to see for yourself.

Hope this helps. :)

Hi Eduan, I’ve installed it and it gives you an extra button next to the usual upload/insert image button when editing a post or page! Pretty cool!

Thanks!

You’re welcome Epix!

Glad I was able to help. :)

Hi guys,

I’m having some issues with this plugin. I Installed the plugin, and I saw the video on how to use it, but the guy in the video has a different interface than the one I have. I have s2member pro installed, and I just find were to acces the plugin. I Looked in download options and it is there.

I appreciate the help.

Hello Gian, thanks for your inquiry.

Which video are you talking about currently? Thanks.
