Protect WordPress Media Files Support

<p>Prevent Direct Access (PDA) offers a simple solution to protect your WordPress files as well as prevent Google, other search engines and unwanted users from indexing and stealing your hard-to-produce ebooks, documents, and videos.</p>
<p>We’ve created an intuitive user interface directly in your Media Library. It’s simple and easy to use. You’ll be able to protect your private files in no time.</p>
<h4>An Inside Look at Prevent Direct Access (PDA) Gold</h4>
<p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/37wP7TTcW4Q?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></span></p>
<p>Our PDA Lite version offers the following features:</p>
<h3>Protect Unlimited WordPress Media Library File Uploads</h3>
<p>Prevent Direct Access is designed to protect all your WordPress media files such as images (PNG, JPEG), documents (PDF, DOCX, PPTX), audios, and videos (MP4, MP3) that you upload to your website under Media Library or via Media, Pages or Posts.</p>
<p>Once protected, only admin users and the file’s author can access them directly. Unwanted users will be redirected to your 404 not found page when attempting to read and download these file URLs.</p>
<p>You can protect unlimited file uploads with our PDA Lite alone.</p>
<h3>Customize “No Access” Page</h3>
<p>Instead of redirecting unauthorized users to the 404 page, you can show them a custom page, e.g registration or login page. Users will have to log into your site in order to access these protected files.</p>
<h3>Auto-generate Private URLs</h3>
<p>Once a WordPress file is protected, Prevent Direct Access will automatically generate a private download link containing a random string for you to access or share this private file with others.</p>
<p>You can then copy that private download link to clipboard and subsequently paste it on your browsers and/or email by clicking on the Copy URL button.</p>
<h3>Restrict Access based on IP Addresses</h3>
<p>Private Download Links can be accessed by anyone who knows the exact URL. You have an option to block unwanted IP addresses from accessing your private links. You can also expire them automatically by clicks or time with our PDA Gold version.</p>
<h3>Block Google from Indexing your Files</h3>
<p>Prevent Direct Access (PDA) explicitly tells Google and other search engines not to index any of your protected files so that their content and original URLs will never appear on the search results.</p>
<h3>Prevent Image Hotlinking</h3>
<p>Our plugin also stops others from stealing and using your images on their website by linking them directly from your website, which could slow down your website significantly.</p>
<h3>Protect WordPress Uploads Directory</h3>
<p>The <code>wp-content/uploads</code> folder where all your uploaded images and files are stored will also be protected. No one will be able to see and browse the content on that folder anymore.</p>
<h3>Disable Copy and Right Click</h3>
<p>Our plugin provides you with an option to disable text selection and right-click on all your web pages to prevent content theft.</p>
<h3>Restrict Media Library Access</h3>
<p>Instead of allowing users to view all file uploads in Media Library, you can restrict users to view their own ones only.</p>
<p>We also provide a premium <a href="https://preventdirectaccess.com/extensions/wordpress-restrict-page-file-access/?utm_source=wp.org&utm_medium=premium-after-gold-features&utm_campaign=pda-lite" rel="nofollow ugc">Folder Protection</a> feature that allows you to protect all files inside the private folder with just one-click.</p>

Prevent Direct Access – Protect WordPress Files

I have had need to contact a couple of times and each time the support has been great.  Fast to respond. In fact faster than I would have expected and always helpful and their advice has answered my questions.  So fully recommend.  Nina is a great contact.

Excellent Support


Almost every useful feature is locked away. Uninstalled immediately.


Free Version barely usable

A simple way to prevent search engines and the public from indexing and accessing your files without complex user authentication.
