Plugin / Prevent Direct Access – Protect WordPress Files

Description

Prevent Direct Access provides a simple way 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’ve created an intuitive user interface under Media library list view. It’s simple and easy to use. So you’ll be able to protect your private files in no time.

An Inside Look at Prevent Direct Access Gold

Our Free version offers the following features:

Protect Up to 3 Uploaded Files

Prevent Direct Access is designed to protect all your WordPress media files such as images (PNG, JPEG), documents (PDF, DOCX) and videos (MP4) that you upload to your website via Media, Pages or Posts.

Once protected, they cannot be accessed directly anymore. Unwanted users will be redirected to your 404 not found page if they attempt to read and download these files using their original URL.

Auto-generate Private URLs

Once a WordPress file is protected, Prevent Direct Access will automatically generate a private download link containing random strings for you to access the file. This private download link is the ONLY way for you to access the protected file.

You can then copy that private download link to clipboard and subsequently paste it on your browsers and/or email by clicking on the Copy URL button.

Block Google from Indexing your Files

Prevent Direct Access explicitly tells Google and other search engines not to index any of your protected files so that their content and original URLs will never appear on the search results.

Prevent Image Hotlinking

Our plugin also stops others from stealing and using your images on their website by linking them directly from your website, which could slow down your website significantly.

Protect Uploads Directory

The wp-content/uploads folder where all your uploaded images and files are stored will also be protected. No one will be able to see and browse the content on that folder anymore.
