Thank you for the suggestion of the .htaccess method. My requirement is to secure all files from reading by anyone unless logged on to the site, similar to what was asked by the OP. I would think that this would be possible by placing the files within the database tables rather than on filesystem directories.

Thanks for the reply – I had installed your plugin specifically for this functionality, but see it as a great utility regardless. Unfortunate that this functionality is not native to WordPress or easily available via plugin. I’ve found “Download Monitor” as a potential solution, but have installed it and it’s convoluted in it’s use.

The Prevent Hotlinks feature does not work for me. If I utilize the direct URL to the file (while no logged on to site), I am able to access the file.

Thank you for the reply.

Is this a setting only available on the purchased version?

The only options I see under settings are:

Reload Enabled – On/Off
Ajax refresh frequency –
Backup Destination path – hardcoded to wp-content/uploads/backup-guard, not able to change.

There are no options for me make the changes to the settings you reference.

Thanks
