How private and secure is it?

  • Hi,

    Just would like to ask a question if I may, as to how “Private” and secure Front End PM really is.

    What I mean is, can Any search engine, search bot, bot, robot..anything…etc, in any way….. index, log, download, save or even see it / the messages or any part of it.

    I mean Any Way?

    Since it’s a private messaging for logged in users only.

    Thanks for replying.

    I did not find any issue yet.
    Since it’s a private messaging for logged in users only. So no bot can access it.

    Also you can add noindex robots meta for message page. Eg. add following code in functions.php

    function fep_no_robots_meta() {
	global $post;
	if( is_a( $post, 'WP_Post' ) && has_shortcode( $post->post_content, 'front-end-pm') ) {
		echo "<meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />\n";
	}
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'fep_no_robots_meta', 5);

    Also for attachment, add following code in .htaccess file of uploads/front-end-pm folder (create one if does not have already).

    deny from all

    I am working on how to make it more secure. Next version will be more secure i believe. Any suggestion from anybody are welcome.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I may have an idea – (for obvious reason) lets take if off-forum.
