Download Monitor MailChimp Lock

This plugin lets you restrict access to selected files until visitors subscribe to a MailChimp list. Use it to gate ebooks, software, whitepapers, and other digital content, making a subscription the step before a visitor can access a file.

Set up subscription forms with the MailChimp for WordPress mc4wp_form shortcode, then manage locked content in WordPress’s native editor. The plugin also supports double opt-in and unique download URLs in welcome emails or MailChimp campaigns. It requires Download Monitor Lite and PRO.

Features

• Lock selected downloads: Restrict access to individual files so visitors must subscribe to your MailChimp list before they can download the selected content.
• Use subscriber access: Allow people who are already subscribed to your MailChimp lists to access files, keeping gated content available to your mailing list.
• Support double opt-in: Use double opt-in for subscriptions, with unique download URLs available in final welcome emails.
• Add campaign links: Generate unique download links for subscribers through MailChimp campaign dynamic URL features.
• Manage locked content: Edit locked download content in WordPress’s native editor, and add subscription forms with the familiar mc4wp_form shortcode.
