A private client portal for WordPress — let each client log in to view, preview, and download only their files.

Lucian Radu

<p>Filevue turns your WordPress site into a secure client portal. Create clients with unique IDs and encrypted passwords, upload files into organized folders, and give each client a private login page where they can view and download only their own documents.</p>
<p>Everything uses your site name for branding — no “Powered by” labels or third-party logos. The portal UI automatically adapts to your WordPress admin color scheme.</p>
<h4>Client Management</h4>
<ul>
<li>Create clients with a unique Client ID, encrypted password, optional email, and internal notes.</li>
<li>Search, paginate, and manage clients from a clean admin dashboard.</li>
<li>View client details in a quick-view modal — copy credentials, see file stats, and jump to the portal link.</li>
</ul>
<h4>File Uploads and Organization</h4>
<ul>
<li>Drag-and-drop single or multi-file uploads directly from the admin.</li>
<li>Organize files into named folders with custom SVG icons and accent colors.</li>
<li>Drag files between folders to reorganize — no page reload needed.</li>
<li>Supported formats: PDF, Word, Excel, images (PNG, JPG, GIF), text, ZIP, and RAR.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Client Portal</h4>
<ul>
<li>Filevue automatically creates a dedicated portal page at <code>/client-portal/</code> when the plugin is activated.</li>
<li>Clients log in with their unique Client ID and password — no WordPress account required.</li>
<li>Collapsible folder tree with icon and color theming, matching the admin folder setup.</li>
<li>Inline file preview for PDFs and images directly in the browser — no download required.</li>
<li>One-click secure downloads with nonce-verified, path-validated file delivery.</li>
<li>Sessions expire after 1 hour for security; clients can log out manually at any time.</li>
<li>Admins can preview the portal as any client with a single click from the Clients page — no need to copy credentials.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Data Sheets</h4>
<ul>
<li>Attach editable spreadsheets to any folder — add rows, columns, and multiple sheets.</li>
<li>Clients see a read-only view of shared data sheets in their portal.</li>
<li>Download any data sheet as an Excel file — both admin and client side.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Email Notifications</h4>
<ul>
<li>Send branded HTML credential emails with portal link, Client ID, and password.</li>
<li>Automatic new-file notifications when you upload documents to a client’s folder.</li>
<li>Emails use your site name and are styled to match your brand.</li>
</ul>
<h4>SMTP</h4>
<ul>
<li>Built-in SMTP configuration with test-before-save — your settings only activate after a successful test email.</li>
<li>One-click provider presets for Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo with setup guidance.</li>
<li>Passwords are encrypted at rest using AES-256-CBC.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Team Access</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Portal Contributor</strong> — Staff members who can manage clients and upload files, but cannot change settings or delete content.</li>
<li><strong>Portal Manager</strong> — Full portal access including settings, user management, and content deletion.</li>
<li>Both roles see only the Filevue menu in the admin — no distractions from the rest of WordPress.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Security</h4>
<ul>
<li>Client passwords encrypted with AES-256-CBC using your site’s AUTH_KEY.</li>
<li>Upload directory protected with .htaccess rules and a silent index.php.</li>
<li>Every download, upload, delete, and login action is nonce-verified with path traversal protection.</li>
<li>Data protection toggle — choose whether plugin data is preserved or removed on uninstall.</li>
</ul>
