Generate Unique and Secure Download Links for your files

WP One Time File Download (WP OTFD) is a Premium WordPress Plugin that generates Unique Download Links for your files. Simple to use and customize, fully compatible with any WordPress theme and plugin. Use it as a shortcode on your website and display it as a link/form or just generate download links from the admin dashboard.

Version 2.6.4 / Updated October 17th, 2021

Why you should use WP One Time File Download?

WP OTFD plugin will help you to grow your audience and engage more visitors on your website. A direct link to a file can be sent via multiple channels like slack, messenger, skype etc. and the user doesn’t have to visit your website to download it. Our plugin comes with a solution: it generates Unique Download Links for each visitor and once it was used to download the file, it will not work anymore. Of course, you can set a validity period for a download link – for example, from the moment that file was downloaded, the link should be valid 10 more minutes (or whatever value you want). To find out how to use the plugin, check the ‘Plugin Functionality’ section.

Main features:

• Create secure download links for your files
• Set the link expiration time
• Display link via shortcode
• Send link via email after form is submitted
• Easy to customize
• Works with WordPress Multisite
• Easy to generate unique one time download links
• Compatible with all themes & plugins
• Create unlimited number of links
• Add multiple shortcodes on same page
