Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Library Viewer

Starting from version 3.3.0, you can access your library directly from the WordPress back-end. Simply navigate to Media > Library Viewer. You can browse your files in the "Library" tab and customize the page title or access permissions in the "Settings" tab. This is perfect for administrators who need quick access without leaving the dashboard! Read more in ADMIN PAGE DOCUMENTATION

You can use the Library Viewer for WooCommerce Add-on. It allows you to link specific folders to WooCommerce products, granting access automatically upon purchase.

Yes, by adding the Library Viewer File Manager Add-on. This enables front-end uploading, renaming, and deletion of files and folders based on user roles.

Yes. By default, this feature is disabled. You can enable Media Library attachment creation using the lvfm_create_attachment_for_uploaded_file hook.

Yes, with Library Viewer Pro you can display any folder on the same server, even if it is outside your WordPress installation directory (e.g., above the public_html folder), as long as the server's PHP has access to it. This can be achieved using the lv_filter_global_abspath filter to change the default ABSPATH to the root path of the folder you want to display. For more detailed instructions and code examples on how to set this up, please feel free to ask in the support forum. As you can see, I usually respond within a few hours to help you out!

Yes. By default, the plugin hides: * Folders containing the string "hidden-folder" in their name. * Files containing the string "hidden-file" in their name. * All .php and .ini files. Rename your files or folders accordingly to hide them. For more advanced control (including specific inclusion/exclusion lists), you can use Library Viewer Pro.

Yes, with Library Viewer Pro you can protect your files so they are only accessible through the plugin's viewer, preventing direct URL access. See this support topic: wordpress.org/support/topic/executable-pdf-file

To enhance security, you should add the following code to a .htaccess file inside the folder you want to protect: <Files *.php> deny from all </Files>

You can test your own use cases in the DEMO

Library Viewer have been tested with TinyMCE (Classic Editor), Gutenberg, WPBakery, Visual Composer, Elementor and works fine! Generally can be used, everywhere that shortcodes are accepted...
