Protect uploads

Description

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 : https://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.

Available languages :

• English
• Fran?ais
• Espa?ol
• Italian (thanks to Marko97)

Installation

1. Upload protect-uploads folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory

Note : GD library is needed and being able to create a .htaccess file in uploads directory.

Plugin abandonné servant de support pour Hackers

cocagneolivier July 17, 2024

Ce plugin n’a pas été mis à jour depuis 3 ans. En revanche il sert de support pour des hackers. Ce plugin s’installe sans action de l’administrateur légitime, désactive les autres plugins de sécurité puis crée de nouveaux administrateurs. Le site ne fonctionne plus après piratage.

Thanks!
