Member Access Plugin

After a ton of research, I chose “Members” to restrict pages as either public or members only and then “New User Approve” to limit who could register for a site I’m working on for a client.

The reason I’m back here researching again now is that I have some PDFs I need to restrict to only approved members, and I’m finding that’s not so easy. No matter how/where I upload them, if someone has the link, they can view the PDF whether they’re logged in or not. Password protecting them isn’t an option. I’m mentioning this because you say your purpose is to place downloadables in a members-only area.
