How do I set up this pay per view situation?

    I will be creating lessons on my blog, and I would like to have users pay to view the page with the lesson. I have a video embedded on each page of the lesson and currently, YouTube is where the videos are stored (I read somewhere that was preferable to uploading the video as media to WordPress). My main concern is I don’t want the video to be downloaded or shared – the only way that a user could have access to the video is to pay for the lesson that has the video on it. The user then has access to the video but isn’t allowed to download or share the video.

    Also, I want to make sure the user who has paid for access to the lesson is the only person that can access it – I don’t want the user to be able to give his credentials to another user so that person can then access the lesson.

    I think those are my main concerns at the moment. If there are other issues that I might need to address that I have not addressed, please let me know. Thanks.

    I believe that a moderator must have added the blog site after I submitted the post based on my login information – actually the site I need help with is mycovidandmusicblog.com.

    Hi there – The site you have at https://mycovidandmusicblog.com/ looks to be hosted at Bluehost.

    Since the support forums here are for sites hosted at WordPress.com, you’ll need to try a couple of things to get the support you need.

    1. Since your site is hosted at Bluehost, it’s possible you are already paying for their support and so you should try to reach out to them first for help on this.

    2. For all support inquiries Bluehost can’t help you with, feel free to post on the WordPress.org support forums to get help and guidance from the WordPress community there: https://wordpress.org/support/forums

    Lastly, what you are wanting WordPress doesn’t do by default, so you’ll need to look for plugins that offer this specific functionality, or something relatively close. Visit the plugins area of WordPress.org here and try using the search to narrow the plugin options based on your needs: https://wordpress.org/plugins/

    We hope this helps, and good luck on your new project!
