My uploads URLs shows the index of the whole folder

  • Hello,
    My uploads URLs shows the index of the whole uploads folder.
    For example, when I visit https://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/ it is showing a list of all the images in that folder. Also, the browser is showing all the files in /wp-content/uploads/ folder.
    Shouldn’t this page be inaccessible to the public? How do I make such listings inaccessible to the public?

    How are you hosting your site? If this is occurring on a hosting provider, ask them to disable site indexing. If they can’t, use a plugin like Sucuri or WordFence to disable directory indexing. If this is a system you’ve configured, turn off directory indexing in your Apache configuration.
