Warning: mime_content_type():

I fixed the issue!

I found that using the Hide My WordPress Plugin, this fiddles with the path on the front end…

Solution was adding:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} my-contents/(.*)$
into htaccess, so it looks like this as a whole:

# BEGIN AAM Media Access Control
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(pdf|doc|docx|ppt|pptx|pps|ppsx|odt|xls|xlsx|psd)$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} wp-content/uploads/(.*)$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} my-contents/(.*)$
    RewriteRule . /index.php?aam-media=1 [L]
</IfModule>
# END AAM Media Access Control

Hi,

I have the same problem.
I use Elementor and have a file in

. /wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/150px-Coat_of_arms_of_Berlin-ofi3z58ba0smvu00f7jufefe2cqb2z2rndy3dgnrpc.png

that is not shown upon activation of the media protection.
However the media protection for direct access to media files wors very well – no access being logged out, access being logged in.
Only said file is NOT accessible being logged in.
If I am going for the solution mentioned by Daniel Moore, all files become accessible again even if not logged in.
I tried to add
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} my-contents/(.*)$
as well as
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/(.*)$

what am I doing wrong?
thanks in advance for any suggestions.

greetings

Seb.
