TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who need to restrict access to uploaded files like PDFs and images so only logged-in users can view them. It solves the problem of private files being directly downloadable via their URL even when embedded in private posts or pages, by having the web server route requests for a designated private folder through WordPress for authentication.

  • Restricts private folder file access
  • Requires logged-in users
  • Returns 403 for unauthorized requests
  • Web server rewrite rule integration
  • Efficient, only runs for private files
