Kind regards.

Thanks for the reply ??
Sadly no :/

As I understand the plugin, it creates a page for each file. This page is visible in the search results on wordpress.

For exemple, here is a search on my website for “shoji”, the first result is the download page for a file added to the plugin ( because counting and monitoring ): screencapture of shoji results

How can I remove/hide the file to show up in the search results ? Or more acuratly, is it possible to do so ?
I thought of naming my file differently but then it’s counter-intuitive for the monitoring.

Unfortunately as far as I know there is no option to hide the download page from the search option in WordPress. Are you wanting to password protect the download pages?

Kind regards.

Sadly no, I’m not looking to password protect, just to avoid duplicates.
Thank you for your help.
