HI thanks for reply.
Ok so I think the issue is I need the PDA gold version in order to be able to allow the logged in clients to download the protected files?
My html form looks like this:

<label for="DS_files">Report form:</label>
<form id="msform2" onsubmit="this.action = document.getElementById('report').value">
    <select id="report">
        <option value="https://sherver.co.za/funtronics/wp-content/uploads/_pda/lm_uploads/2022/11/ER02-Day-Skipper-Exam-Report-Form-v2.0.pdf">Report Form</option>

    </select>
    <input type="submit" value="Download" class="grey-btn">
</form>

I can download the file only if I am logged is as admin.
Is that correct?
Russel

Hi Thanks for reply.
htacces contains:

# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.

# END WordPress

Further: I cleared the browser cache: and I can’t access the files (just get my 404 page)
the Protected link is:

Hi , thanks for the reply.
There will be maybe three levels of permissions.
I have used the Simple WordPress Membership plugin to allow a particular page to be accessible for a particular level user. (So level 1 can access page 1, level 2 can access page 2, etc.)
So at a page level once that user has logged in and has accessed that page, they can download any file on that page.

A list would be fine too. Any secure means of presenting the files on the page would be fine.
The only thing then would be to make the download links secure so that
they can’t be viewed by inspecting the page HTML .
(My clumsy workaround at the moment is to add a (identical) password for each file to download, just to prevent direct downloading from outside.)
Thanks and regards
Russell

Thanks for the reply – any idea if there’s a different form plugin (or different smtp plugin) that may work together.
Otherwise will try make contact.
Thanks
Russell
