## Descripción

The uploads directory is where the files of the WordPress library are stored. Unfortunelty,
this directory is not protected. A person who wants to see all your library could
list it instantly going to : http://yourwebsite/wp-content/uploads . This plugin
will hide the content by adding an index.php file on the root of your uploads directory
or by setting an htaccess which will return a 403 error (Forbidden Access).

 * Depending on your server setting, the htaccess option could be disabled.

**New Features in Version 0.6.0:**

 * **Image Watermarking**: Add text watermarks to your uploaded images with customizable
   position, opacity, and font size.
 * **Right-Click Protection**: Prevent users from right-clicking to download or 
   save your images.
 * **Password Protection**: Secure individual media files with passwords. Multiple
   passwords can be set for each file with custom labels.
 * **Access Logging**: Track who accesses your password-protected files with detailed
   logs including IP address and user agent.

Available languages:

 * English
 * Français
 * Español
 * Italian (thanks to Marko97)

Tried with «Protect with index.php files» Tried with «Protect with .htaccess file»
Neither one works. PDF happily appears in another browser where I’m not logged in,
it’s got a little menu, it loads completely, and the crooks are off and away with
my property. Wordpress 6.2. Thanks. Have a nice day.

This plugin is not malware.The ‘malware’ you claim is a ‘fake plug-in’ created by
a web server being hacked.A year after downloading this plug-in from the official
Wordpress.org , my site is still very fine and secure. Don’t be fooled by fake reviews.

It just does what it has to do. Restrict free browsing of your WP-content folder
and subfolder. You can still access a specific file if you have the exact path but
you cannot sneak around any longer.

Sure, could have done it all manually… but why!? If site maintenance/upkeep/security
falls within your purview… This plugin is a must have tool. What makes it good… 
1. Out of the box installs with zero compromises or changes to other plugins or 
server software. 2. Activation and settings are straight forward 3. Works exactally
as expected/should Job well done…
