Every plan includes
Server-level file denial
Protected files live in a directory denied by .htaccess / NGINX rules. No direct URL access, even if someone guesses the filename.
Hardened PDF viewer
Built on PDF.js with toolbar stripped, download disabled, and print intercepted. Your PDF renders in the browser — never leaves the server.
Role-based access
Gate files by any WordPress role, custom group, or WooCommerce purchase. Combine rules — "subscriber AND paid customer" works.
Print & save blocking
Ctrl+S, Ctrl+P, right-click, and drag-to-desktop are all intercepted. Screenshot is the only remaining vector — and watermarks handle that.
File manager & shortcodes
Upload and organize files from wp-admin. Embed with [mediaguard] shortcodes — one line, any page or post.
30-day money-back guarantee
If the plugin doesn't work for your setup, email us and we refund you. No forms, no tickets, no guilt trip.
One plugin. Not a stack of four.
To match what Media Guard Pro does, most sites end up buying PDA Gold ($119), a PDF viewer plugin ($59), a print-blocking plugin ($39), and sometimes an EPUB reader ($49). That's $266+/year in plugin licenses, four different settings pages, and four different update cycles.
Media Guard does it all for $79/year. One install, one settings page, one update.
Before you buy
01 What happens when my license expires?
Your files stay protected — access control and the PDF viewer never stop working. What pauses are Pro-tier features: watermarks, access logs, EPUB, video, audio, and the library shortcode. Renew whenever you're ready. No lockouts.
02 Can I upgrade from Free to Pro later?
Yes. Install the free plugin, set up your files and shortcodes, and when you're ready for unlimited files and Pro features, buy a license and enter the key. Nothing to reinstall — the same plugin unlocks Pro features instantly.
03 Is there a lifetime option?
Not currently. Annual pricing lets us keep shipping updates, security patches, and new features consistently. The $79/year Pro tier is intentionally underpriced compared to alternatives that charge $119+ for less functionality.
04 Do I need WooCommerce?
No. The core plugin — viewer, file manager, role gating, shortcodes, print blocking — works on any WordPress install. WooCommerce adds two extras: purchase-gated access and the [mediaguard_library] shortcode for customer download libraries.
05 What payment methods do you accept?
Credit card and debit card via Stripe. Checkout is handled securely through WooCommerce + Stripe — we never see or store your card details.
06 Can I use one license on staging and production?
Yes. Pro licenses activate on one production domain. Localhost and common staging subdomains (staging.*, dev.*, *.local) are not counted against your site limit.
07 What's the refund policy?
30-day no-questions-asked refund on Pro and Agency. Email us, we send your money back. That simple.
