    Plugin is incompatible with scaled files created by WordPress.

    If user upload very big image and WordPress scale image creating -scaled file, the scaled file is saved into media library on the list of files.

    After Click button Protect file, plugin move all files to /uploads/_pda/ directory, but not move original image (not scaled) to /_pda/ directory.

    So, if there are files:

    kadry_2021-1024×1024.jpg
    kadry_2021-300×300.jpg
    kadry_2021-scaled.jpg
    kadry_2021.jpg – original file

    To /_pda/ will be moved only these files:

    kadry_2021-1024×1024.jpg
    kadry_2021-300×300.jpg
    kadry_2021-scaled.jpg

    File kadry_2021.jpg won’t be moved.

    Hello @mkdes,

    Thank you for bringing this up!

    To better understand the issue, could you confirm:

    • After protecting the file, is the original image (kadry_2021.jpg) still accessible via its direct URL?
    • Does this happen with all large images or only specific ones?

    We’ll investigate this behavior to see if adjustments are needed. As a workaround, you might try manually protecting the original file separately.

    Let us know if you notice anything else!

    Yes. kadry_2021.jpg is stil accessible by direct access by URL.

    All images make by WordPress if big_image_size_threshold is enabled.

    Hello @mkdes,

    Thank you for confirming.

    We’ll investigate this further. In the meantime, could you try the following?

    1. Manually Protect the Original File – If you select and protect kadry_2021.jpg separately in the Media Library, does it move to /uploads/_pda/?
    2. Check File Accessibility – Do all other generated sizes (e.g., 1024x1024.jpg, 300x300.jpg, -scaled.jpg) remain protected, or are any still accessible via direct URL?
    3. Disable big_image_size_threshold Temporarily – If you disable this feature, does PDA Gold move all files correctly?

      To further assist you, please reach out to us via our Contact Form with details about your setup. This will help us investigate and provide a solution faster.
