外掛說明
This plugin allows site admins to protect specific attachment file types (e.g. Pdf, Doc(x)) from direct access. Instead, the files are served through WordPress, allowing you to check if a user is logged in or has the required permissions before granting access.
Features:
* Adds a checkbox to media attachments to mark them as “Authorized only”.
* Creates an internal page and rewrite rules to intercept requests to protected file types.
* Checks user login status (or other custom logic you add) before serving files.
* Provides a settings page to specify which file types should be protected.
License
This plugin is licensed under GPLv2 or later.

常見問題集
-
Yes. The plugin checks if the user is logged in by default, but you can extend
handle_protected_request()to add role checks or other conditions. -
What happens to unprotected files?
-
Files that are not marked as “Authorized only” will still be directly accessible by URL.
-
Do I need to manually edit .htaccess?
-
No. The plugin will manage the
.htaccessrules for you when you save settings. -
Do you have plans to improve the plugin?
-
We currently have on our roadmap:
* Make the plugin pluggable – adding hooks for certain checks.
* Adding a custom capability to manage which users can edit settings (both general and per file).
* Adding more translations.If you have a feature suggestion, send us an email at plugins@zodan.nl.
