Nevermind, I think I’ve worked it out.

The arrows that appear when you hover over image, I mean.

I have the same request too! Hope this can happen.

Hmmm, the WordPress test did actually work in the end. But just didn’t reach my inbox until a whole day later for some reason. It’s working now though with no such delay, so please ignore this topic.
And thanks for the plugin!

Got it working with pdf files now… I’m not sure, I played around with adding
AddType application/pdf .pdf
to .htaccess. Tt still works even when I remove that code. Don’t really know what happened, I just googled and stabbed in the dark but it’s working! Got the idea from this thread
Thanks for this plugin! I’ll test out some more before I give a review.

I found a fix for my issue, at least for file types other than PDF files. I’ve installed wordpress in another directory, lets say /core, and so I edited the .htaccess to reflect in the code then, like:

# Media Vault Rewrite Rules
RewriteRule ^core/wp-content/uploads(/_mediavault/.*\.\w+)$ index.php?mgjp_mv_file=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(?:.*&)?mgjp_mv_download=safeforce(?:&.*)?$
RewriteRule ^core/wp-content/uploads(/.*\.\w+)$ index.php?mgjp_mv_file=$1 [QSA,L]
# Media Vault Rewrite Rules End

That fixed my issue with direct download links, hope that helps some of you if you have your WordPress installed in an extra folder.
I don’t know why PDF files are still not being protected, while other file types are….? If you are only testing with PDF, try testing with jpg or some other file type as well.

First time install. Didn’t work/fix for me either, direct links not protected. Would really like this plug-in to work…

Files are being served from the Media Vault protected folder e.g. sitename/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/_mediavault/2014/02/filename.pdf
The Media Vault rewrite rules are present in the .htaccess file
I am using pretty permalinks
Running on WordPress 3.9.1

PS. I’m using a child theme with Celebrate as the parent theme.
