    Hello,

    I have just noticed that your plugin saves exported DHL labels to mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/woocommerce_dhl_label

    Surely this is a security issue as it is directly allowing this folder to be accessed via bots? You have added no line in the robots.txt to disallow indexing of these files.

    Can you please explain this ASAP? Thank you

    There is an .htaccess file within that folder that denies access to all users including bots.

    Are you saying you were able to find the files on search engines?

    Hi @shadim

    OK well that’s great news. Sorry then it was my lack of understanding, as I did not check for the .htaccess file in that folder. Thanks for your quick reply.
