  I want to restrict some content for paying members only.
  I recently installed MemberPress plugin.
  It works well, there’s an option on blog posts or pages on my site to only allow members to view, etc
  I was wondering how to also do this with a url.
  In other words, I have a file (game) that I uploaded to my site via FTP. To access the file, I put in the url – mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/games/blablabla
  Is it possible to restrict access to the game/url to logged in (paying) members only?
  If yes, what’s the best way of doing this?

  TIA!

  Thanks for your response!

  I’ve restricted access to https://torahgames.org/alefbeisfamily/

  But people can still access the game if they enter the url ……/index.html

  I’m trying to change that. So that the user will need to be logged in to access the game
