    I’ve installed Prevent Direct Access free version as a test prior to upgrading to gold. Problem is when I click “Protect this file” in my Media Library I get the following warning, “www.mydomain.com says No! No! No! Verify Nonce Fails!”. I have re-uploaded the pdf with a different file name but same result. I get the same result whether the file is attached to a post or unattached. Also I get the same result with .jpg files. I am running WordPress 4.9.8 and the latest version of Prevent Direct Access. Appreciate your assistance.

    Update – In the Media Library files on which I have clicked the “Protect this file” checkbox show no sign of having been protected – the “Protect this file” box remains unchecked and a new url does not appear. However, when I edit one of these files I see the word “Protected” with a red cross. Despite this, the url has not changed (e.g. it still contains “wp-content/uploads/” etc) and still gives access to non-logged users. Further I cannot remove this “protection’ by re-clicking the “Protect this file”. Please note I am not getting confused with the 3 file limitation.

    Problem solved. Turns out Chrome wasn’t playing nice with the free PDA plugin. PDA have fixed this with a plugin update (2.4.0.5). If you’re having similar problems update to the latest version and/or try a different browser. Big thanks to Tim and and the team at PDA for their fast and effective response!
