Disable direct downlaod links

  • thanks for your useful plugin
    I use the latest EDD plugin , my upload direction is
    mydomain/wp-content/uploads/edd/year/month/
    I noticed that when I open this adress “mydomain/wp-content/uploads/edd/year/month/ ” all files are shown to the user and he can download them !! so I created blank index.php file in this directory to hide these files
    1-Do I have to create index.php manually in every new month folder to hide files ?
    2-How can I disable direct download links ? and the users have to download only with link given to them after payement… I am afraid someone find the direct link adress.
    thanks

    There is supposed to be a .htaccess file created in wp-content/uploads/edd/

    Go to Downloads > Settings > Misc and make sure that “Download Method” is set to “Forced”. Once you do that (even if it is already set to Forced), click “save Changes”.

    Does that successfully create the .htaccess file?

    Ok manually create the .htaccess file. Sometimes it cannot be created due to restrictive file permissions.

    Create the file, place it in wp-content/uploads/edd/ and then place these rules in the file:

    Options -Indexes
deny from all
<FilesMatch '\.(jpg|png|gif)$'>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</FilesMatch>

    thanks mordauk for your reply.my problem is solved.
    in Iran we can not use paypal and another services so I published my wordpress plugin.this plugin will add bank mellat gateway to EDD plugin (bank mellat is one of iranian banks).
    and now iranian webmasters can use EDD plugin for their websites and their web stores.
