Hidden's backup folders from the public eye

  • At the moment, any person who knows that the site is used WordPress and Easy Watermark can go into the folder “ew_backup” and see the original of any image. In this case, it lost the very meaning of creation watermarks. Is it possible to hide the folder from the public eye, but to leave access for the plugin? Perhaps “.htaccess”? If yes – what specifically needs to be done?

    In general, such an option would be good to include in the functionality of the plugin by default. For example, how about the ability to manually specify the name of the folder for backups?

  • Hi zhart,

    You would need to use .htaccess and redirect the user to an other location when they go to the backup folder.

    This can be done within the main .htaccess or within a .htaccess file in the backupfolder.

    This might work:
    RewriteRule ^ew_backup/(.*)$ /uploads/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

    This should redirect the user to the uploads folder (where the watermarks are applied).
