Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about BF Secret File Downloader

The plugin supports most common file types including documents, images, archives, and media files. For security reasons, program code files are blocked, including PHP, JavaScript, Python, shell scripts, and other executable file types.

The plugin implements multiple security layers including nonce verification, user authentication, and sanitized file paths to prevent unauthorized access.

The plugin automatically creates secure directories with unique names when activated. These directories are protected with .htaccess and index.php files to prevent direct access and have unique names for additional security.

Yes. The secure directory is a hidden directory (its name starts with a dot) under wp-content/uploads. Most Nginx configurations for WordPress deny access to hidden files and directories (location ~ /\. { deny all; }), so direct access is blocked without any additional configuration. The plugin checks whether direct access is actually blocked and shows a warning on its admin screens if it is not. In that case, add the following to your Nginx configuration, or ask your hosting provider to add it: location ^~ /wp-content/uploads/bf-secret-file-downloader/ { deny all; } If you upload files via FTP, enable the option to show hidden files in your FTP client.

Currently, the plugin is designed for single-site installations.
