I have a wordpress site in which some files are allowed to few members only So after going to restricted area the url is shown as

http://domainname/theme_name/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/file_name.pdf

I have managed forced download but still by viewing source anyone can see absolute url So i want to hide this url and show something like

http://domainname/theme_name/duplicate_name.pdf

or some other suggestions. Help me if it is possible. Thanks in advance

I don't believe there is any way to hide this url. If you include the Url on a page, you are making it public. I would be interested to see the answers you get. – The Humble Rat Nov 10 '14 at 10:23
So how can i make file available for download other than using a tag? Like readfile() or something? – lcshobin Nov 10 '14 at 10:27
Or should i use one time usable url? – lcshobin Nov 10 '14 at 10:31
