I am trying to: to monitor the downloads of files created in a custom type and some times I want to protect one of the with a password
I visited this URL: Documentation and I can't find anything
I expected to see: some plugin that solved it
Thanks!
Hi there
You have a custom post type and a custom field assigned to that post type which is a file, yes? So when posts of that type are displayed, a link to the file is output, yes?
Regarding the question of password protection first.
You cannot add password protection to individual fields from particular posts, but you can add password protection to the individual posts themselves. That is done on the post edit screen (and is a standard WordPress feature), see screenshot.
Regarding collecting download stats, that is not something Toolset is equipped for.
You might be able to use an existing analytics solution such as Google Analytics, or set up some custom code on your server to track requests for files, or add some custom Javascript on the front end to track clicks on the links.
Or you might want to use a 3rd party plugin that is dedicated to managing file downloads, such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/, although may entail changing your set-up somewhat from how you currently have it.
