Show download button to logged in user

[hostingpeep (Alex Standall)]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a forum where downloads are only available to logged-in users. I couldn’t find any option in the text editor for this, so I’m asking for your help on how to implement a button that is only available to logged-in users.

My links are coming from external source (blackblaze). So it is kind of fake link protection.

I don’t want to make the entire post private for logged-in users, as this could hurt SEO. If only the button that allows users to download the content were private, it would be much easier for me to implement my forum idea.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

• Showing two banners: one to anonymous users, and one for logged-in members

Enabling prevent anons from downloading files site setting will only for logged in users allows download the attachments.

Thanks Don for replying. It might be helpful but I have attached an external link to button. Only logged User click on button and download the file. It is kind file sharing forum.
