Simple. The forum and download are available only to paying customers? Pretend for a moment that the download is a video file. It's not, I know, but just pretend for a moment.

Then you would have a site that allows only paying customers to download the video and access the other content (the forum, etc.) That's called a pay site. It doesn't matter if the download is a video, a software program, or a spreadsheet. It's really just a pay site.

So how do you integrate secure protection for your content on a pay site that uses Wordpress? Same as on a pay site that doesn't use Wordpress - Strongbox. The Strongbox plugin for Wordpress takes care of letting Wordpress know who the user is. How do they pay? Paypal, CCBill, whatever you want, Strongbox works with any of them and makes it totally transparent to Wordpress. There's no need to integrate payment and CMS content (Wordpress) because you let Strongbox take care of figuring out if they are a paid user and informing Wordpress.
