Do I have to manage downloads (as Admin) from the WordPress dashboard?
No! We’ve included a dedicated Admin Dashboard for the Plugin so you can manage your downloads without having to log into WordPress. We’ve found some of our customers prefer this rather than getting distracted inside the WordPress back-end when they just need to manager their downloads.
To learn more about setting up and using the Downloads Manager Admin dashboard see this Help article.
Can I cluster or group users to distribute different downloads to?
Yes our Plugin can handle this. Downloads don’t have to be sent or assigned on an individual basis they can be distributed to defined user groups.
