I’m building a tour company website and I want to add a download link – Download Itinerary – to each of the tour pages which users can download if they login or register e.g. they click on link asking them to login/register to download and are then redirected back to page where download link is now available or something similar.

At the moment, when user logs in/registers using [wpdm_login_form] or [wpdm_reg_form] shortcodes, they are then asked to Go to Dashboard, but once they get to the dashboard ([wpdm_user_dashboard]), they then have to manually navigate back to the page with the file they want to download (see screenshot attached) which is not intuitive. Is that correct?

Also, on the Dashboard page, the Download History, Edit Profile and Logout links lead to 404 pages.

Finally, is it possible to use the Google Drive add-on to host my downloads and still protect files initially by making users log in or register?

Would appreciate you support. Many thanks,
Shane
