 * Is there a way to restrict direct media links to members only?
 * E.g. [https://www.bahiadecasares.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/](https://www.bahiadecasares.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Normas-de-regimen-interior-2024-BdC-EN.pdf)
   xxxxxx.xxx is now direct accessible for anyone….
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frestrict-direct-media-link%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Restricting access to the files system is different than restricting access to
   content that is stored in the database. But you can do it with the plugin’s [Download Protect premium extension](https://rocketgeek.com/plugins/wp-members-download-protect/).
