Paid Memberships Pro Download Monitor Integration 1.0

Paid Memberships Pro Download Monitor Integration is a WordPress plugin add-on that helps you protect downloadable content by membership level when you use the Download Monitor plugin. Instead of relying on manual checks, it adds an easy “Require Membership” option directly on the Edit Download screen. You can restrict which members can access each file and show non-members clear guidance about the required membership levels.

With ready-made templates and shortcodes, the integration works smoothly with your existing Download Monitor setup, supporting a consistent member experience. When someone tries to use the [download] shortcode, non-members receive a link to your membership levels page along with the levels required to download the file.

Main Features

• Require Membership meta box — Adds a “Require Membership” control on the Download Monitor “Edit Download” page.
• Membership level access toggle — Lets you select one or more membership levels that can download the file.
• Download access restriction — Blocks non-member and unauthorized users from downloading protected files.
• [download] shortcode messaging — Shows non-members a membership levels link and required level list when they attempt to download.
• Ready-made “pmpro” template — Provides a template for rendering membership requirements on the frontend.
• Additional templates for layout — Includes “pmpro_box” and “pmpro_button” for box- or button-style membership prompts.
