Easy Digital Downloads - Content Restriction

Stores that sell digital products often have content meant for certain people only: subscriber files, member pages or private posts. Easy Digital Downloads – Content Restriction handles this by tying access to user roles. You choose what to restrict, and visitors without the right role cannot view or download it.

The plugin is built for Easy Digital Downloads, so access rules sit alongside the store you already run. You can set up members-only downloads, VIP content sections or access bundled with digital products. Admins manage permissions from a simple interface, and you can show a custom message or redirect people when access is denied.
