How to Display Protected Content

The protected content feature can be used in a variety of ways. In this article we’ll cover how to display protected content.

If you are new to this feature and want to learn how to use it see articles on this feature here.

Display Protected Content in Menu

When protected content is displayed in a WordPress menu a client can click a menu link to go directly to your protected content. This is great if your protected content is in an offering, but you do not need a page of content to go with it.

Client view

Upon click the file will either download or open in a new tab in browser (this is different for every client based on their browser and chosen settings.)

Display Protected Content in an Objective Checklist

You can display protected content in objective checklists. Once the client clicks on the file it will either download or open in a new tab in browser (based on the client’s browser settings) and mark this item complete on the checklist.
