Prevent Direct Access – Protect WordPress Files
Description
Prevent Direct Access (PDA) offers a simple solution to protect your WordPress files as well as prevent Google, other search engines and unwanted users from indexing and stealing your hard-to-produce ebooks, documents, and videos.
We have created an intuitive user interface directly in your Media Library. It is simple and easy to use. You will be able to protect your private files in no time.
The PDA Lite version allows you to protect unlimited WordPress media files such as images, documents, audios, and videos that you upload to your website. Once protected, only admin users and the file's author can access them directly.
You can customize the page that unauthorized users see when they attempt to access protected files. Instead of a 404 page, you can show a registration or login page.
Prevent Direct Access also provides the ability to block Google from indexing your files and prevents image hotlinking, ensuring your media is secure and not misused.
With features like auto-generating private URLs and restricting access based on IP addresses, PDA ensures that your files remain protected and only accessible to those you choose.
