Allow access to a certain folder to admin logged users only
-
Hi,
I wonder if we can allow access to a specific folder, something like
wp-content/my-folder, to admin users only, and return for example a 403 error to everyone else (visitors, users that aren’t admin…).I searched on the support forum but never found a real answer, most of time being costly files manager plugins advertising, that doesn’t interest me.
Do someone have a way to go with?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Thank for your fast answer, but thoses plugins are about restricting access to WordPress managed content (post-type, product, pages, API requests), is there no way to just block a folder?
I mean currently, if you tip https://mywebsitename.com/wp-content/my-folder/something.txt you’re able to open and see clearly what is in the something.txt file. I just want to prevent users that aren’t admin to see any file in this folder.
Also I don’t get why my threads are constantly moved in “fixing wordpress” section, if I asked it in the “Developping” section it’s precisely because I would have preferred a code approach and try to understand how it works rather than using a paid plugin.
