Set download to "Members only" by default

Hello,

To make all the downloads “Members only” you would need to add below code to the “functions.php” file in your active theme.

**
 * All downloads require visitors to be logged in
 *
 * @param $can_download
 * @param $download
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function dlm_all_downloads_members_only( $can_download, $download ) {
?
	// No need for checking if access is already denied
	if ( false == $can_download ) {
		return $can_download;
	}
?
	// Check if user is logged in
	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
		$can_download = false;
	} // Check if it's a multisite and if user is member of blog
	else if ( is_multisite() && ! is_user_member_of_blog( get_current_user_id(), get_current_blog_id() ) ) {
		$can_download = false;
	}
?
	return $can_download;
}
?
add_filter( 'dlm_can_download', 'dlm_all_downloads_members_only', 10, 2 );

I hope that helps.

Hi Harish,

I tried adding your code to my functions.php file and I got the white screen of death. I don’t know enough about php to see where any errors might be. Can you take a look and re-post if the code requires editing?

Thanks!

Hi again,

I’m sorry to know you faced this issue. Would it be possible for you to email us at “[email protected]” with the copy of the functions.php file?

Hi,
Is this possible to remove members only option from download monitor?
Like anyone can download the file.

function dlm_all_downloads_members_only( $can_download, $download ) {

// Check if user is logged in
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
    $can_download = true;
} 

return $can_download;
}
