## Beschreibung

**A simple WordPress download manager for secure file sharing, access control, and
download tracking — perfect for digital products.**
 ★★★★★

Do you need a simple yet powerful way to manage file downloads on your WordPress
site? This plugin makes it easy to upload, organize, and control access to downloadable
files of any type. Whether you are sharing free resources, selling digital products,
or delivering private documents, this plugin gives you full control over who can
download your files and when.

With unlimited downloads, flexible restrictions, and detailed tracking, you can 
confidently provide files to your audience while keeping them secure.

### Key Features

 * **Add unlimited downloadable files** – Add and manage as many downloadable files
   as you need, with no limits.
 * **Password Protection** – Protect individual files with custom passwords so only
   authorized users can access them.
 * **Restrict downloads to specific user roles** – Control file access based on 
   WordPress user roles, ensuring that only administrators, editors, subscribers,
   or custom roles can download.
 * **Restrict downloads to specific IP addresses** – Restrict downloads to specific
   IP addresses to prevent abuse or unauthorized sharing.
 * **Restrict downloads to specific users** – Assign downloads to specific registered
   users for secure, private file delivery.
 * **Restrict downloads to newsletter subscribers** – Restrict downloads to Noptin
   newsletter subscriber, making it an excellent tool for lead generation.
 * **Track file downloads** – Track every file download with detailed statistics,
   helping you understand how your files are being accessed.
 * **Simple Management** – A user-friendly interface makes uploading and managing
   files straightforward, even for beginners.

### Why Use This Plugin?

access can’t easily be restricted, and tracking is limited. This plugin solves those
problems by giving you advanced tools to:

 * Protect digital products such as **software, themes, and plugins**.
 * Share private **PDF documents, contracts, or reports** securely with clients.
 * Provide exclusive resources like **eBooks, whitepapers, and templates** to email
   subscribers.
 * Control access to files for **membership sites and online courses**.
 * Monitor and analyze download activity to make better business decisions.

### Benefits for Your Website

By installing this plugin, you’ll be able to:

 * Grow your email list by offering subscriber-only downloads.
 * Monetize your website by controlling access to premium resources.
 * Increase security by preventing unauthorized downloads and link sharing.
 * Gain insights into how your downloads are performing.

Whether you’re a blogger, developer, marketer, educator, or business owner, this
plugin gives you all the tools you need to manage file downloads effectively in 
WordPress.

Take control of your downloads today and provide a seamless, secure experience for
your users.

### S3 Sync Configuration

The plugin supports automatic syncing of uploaded files to S3-compatible storage
services like Amazon S3 and Cloudflare R2.

To enable this feature, define the following constants in your `wp-config.php` file:

    ```
    // Required constants
    define( 'HIZZLE_DOWNLOADS_S3_ENDPOINT', 'https://{$bucket}.s3.{$region}.amazonaws.com' );
    define( 'HIZZLE_DOWNLOADS_S3_ACCESS_KEY', 'your-access-key' );
    define( 'HIZZLE_DOWNLOADS_S3_SECRET_KEY', 'your-secret-key' );
    define( 'HIZZLE_DOWNLOADS_S3_BUCKET', 'your-bucket-name' );
    define( 'HIZZLE_DOWNLOADS_S3_REGION', 'your-bucket-region' );
    ```

#### How it works

When the S3 credentials are configured:
 – Files uploaded to the `wp-content/uploads/
hizzle_uploads/` directory are automatically synced to your S3-compatible storage–
Files are organized by hostname (e.g., `my-site.com/path/to/file.zip`) – The sync
happens automatically when downloads are created or updated

#### Cloudflare R2 Example

Set you Clouflare details as shown below:-

    ```
    define( 'HIZZLE_DOWNLOADS_S3_ACCESS_KEY', 'your-r2-access-key' );
    define( 'HIZZLE_DOWNLOADS_S3_SECRET_KEY', 'your-r2-secret-key' );
    define( 'HIZZLE_DOWNLOADS_S3_BUCKET', 'your-bucket-name' );
    define( 'HIZZLE_DOWNLOADS_S3_ENDPOINT', 'https://your-account-id.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/your-bucket-name' );
    ```

#### DigitalOcean Spaces Example

Set your DigitalOcean Spaces details as shown below:-

    ```
    define( 'HIZZLE_DOWNLOADS_S3_ACCESS_KEY', 'your-spaces-access-key' );
    define( 'HIZZLE_DOWNLOADS_S3_SECRET_KEY', 'your-spaces-secret-key' );
    define( 'HIZZLE_DOWNLOADS_S3_BUCKET', 'your-space-name' );
    define( 'HIZZLE_DOWNLOADS_S3_ENDPOINT', 'https://your-space-name.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com' );
    ```

## FAQ

### Can I see how many times each file has been downloaded?

Yes, Hizzle Downloads allows you to view how many times each file has been downloaded,
as well as which users have downloaded the file. This information is available in
the Hizzle Downloads dashboard, where you can see a list of all your downloadable
files and their download stats. You can also see which users have downloaded the
files, and view their information and activity in your mailing list. This can be
useful for tracking the popularity of your files and understanding which users are
interested in them.

### Can I restrict downloads by user role or newsletter subscription status?

Yes, Hizzle Downloads allows you to restrict downloads by user role or newsletter
subscription status. This means that you can choose which users are able to download
your files, based on their user role on your website or their status as a newsletter
subscriber. For example, you can make a file available only to users who are registered
as members on your website, or only to users who have subscribed to your newsletter.
This can be useful for creating exclusive content or offers for your users, and 
for encouraging people to sign up for your newsletter. You can set these restrictions
for each of your downloadable files in the Hizzle Downloads settings.
