Restrict Some Media
-
Hi there,
I have some videos and documents that I only wanted registered users to have access to. These videos and document are only on pages that registered users can access.
However if someone types in the URL of the media item of the video or document without being logged in, it shows the video or document. The URL is something like https://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/video.mp4
Is there a way to restrict these specific media URLs to only logged in users?
I did go to Media under Settings => Access, and checked the option for Mednia. I also checked “Restrict access to this post” and only logged in usersd can access the post on the specific media item, but if I type in the URL without being logged in I still get access to the media item.
Please advise.
Thank you.

You need a firewall plugin to prevent hotlinking of your files.
Two examples of plugins:
