File List - Wordpress/Elementor Plugin

Recommendations

Use a path in /wp-content/uploads/your-path

If you have your files elsewhere, link (symlink/haedlink - what ever your system is and what is enabled in your nginx/apache config) your folder into the uploads folder to have inherit any protection configured on your upload folder.

This also keeps the files in reach for the download link to work.

Protect files with a password

If you need to protect your folder or any specific file or filetype with a password, and you are using apache:

Add a .htaccess and a .htpasswd to trigger a Basic Auth password dialog when accessing it.

This plugin does nothing special to the files, just genertes the link, so any other plugin protecting files would work (you might need to configure the path-prefix).

Updates

Automatic updates are supported using this repo. Just install the plugin first.
