Instead, the files are served through WordPress, allowing you to check if a user is logged in or has the required permissions before granting access. **Features:** * Adds a checkbox to media attachments to mark them as „Authorized only“. * Creates an internal page and rewrite rules to intercept requests to protected file types. * Checks user login status (or other custom logic you add) before serving files. * Provides a settings page to specify which file types should be protected. ### License This plugin is licensed under GPLv2 or later. ## Fota wobrazowki [⌊Settings page where you define protected file types and user roles.⌉⌊Settings page where you define protected file types and user roles.⌉[ Settings page where you define protected file types and user roles. [⌊Media modal showing the "Authorized only" checkbox.⌉⌊Media modal showing the " Authorized only" checkbox.⌉[ Media modal showing the „Authorized only“ checkbox. ## Instalacija 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/z-authorized-downloads/` or install via the Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ screen. 3. Go to **Settings Authorized Downloads** to set which file types should be protected and which roles can download protected files 4. Mark attachments as „Authorized only“ in the Media Library to restrict access. 5. Optionally, override the default permitted roles per attachment in the Media Library. ## HSP ### Can I customize the authorization logic? Yes. The plugin checks if the user is logged in by default, but you can extend ` handle_protected_request()` to add role checks or other conditions. ### What happens to unprotected files? Files that are not marked as „Authorized only“ will still be directly accessible by URL. ### Do I need to manually edit .htaccess? No. The plugin will manage the `.htaccess` rules for you when you save settings. ### Do you have plans to improve the plugin? We currently have on our roadmap: * Make the plugin pluggable – adding hooks for certain checks. * Adding a custom capability to manage which users can edit settings( both general and per file). * Adding more translations.
