Pre-sale questions about WP File Download

Hi!

We're developing a site in which our client has several files in different categories. These files are fee schedules from different brands that the site owner offers to its customers. We'd like to know if WP File Download can help us achieve two things:

1.- I can create a login system (with wordpress users) that allow a certain user to only see certain categories (maybe this can be achieved with very narrow user roles)
2.- When we update a file the users that can view/download that file get a notification email.

Is this possible? Thanks, Sergio

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us here about this extension.

1. While WP File Download doesn't include a built-in login system, you can achieve the desired functionality by configuring category visibility settings.
This feature allows you to restrict access to specific categories based on user roles or individual users, which should work perfectly for your brand-specific file organization needs.
You can find comprehensive information about setting up file access and visibility controls here:

2. Yes, WP File Download includes an email notification system that can automatically notify users when files are updated or modified.
This feature will ensure your clients stay informed about the latest fee schedule changes.
Details about configuring email notifications can be found here:
