Prevent file downloads

Hashtags: #WordPress #WPSecurity #FileProtection #RestrictedAccess #ExclusiveContent

This article explains how to prevent direct downloading of files in WordPress, allowing access only to users with specific roles. The strategy includes filtering files by type (PDF, ZIP, DOCX, JPG, PNG) and name (those that begin with “protegido_”), redirecting requests through WordPress to verify permissions before allowing the download. A combination of rules in the .htaccess file and PHP code in functions.php is used to implement this restriction.
