WordPress Restricted Site Access (SAR) - Restricting File Permalink vs URL
Restricting File Permalink vs URL
The WordPress Restricted Site Access plugin allows users to create a membership and content restriction solution. The content restriction is based on user WordPress roles and whether or not they are logged in.
In the case of media files, the plugin will restrict access to the media's Permalink, but not to the File URL.
The File URL usually follows the structure https://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/file
When the user accesses the direct URL in the browser, then no WordPress file executes - so the plugin can not restrict such kind of URL.
The image below shows the examples of Permalink and File URL:
It relates to all file extensions, such as images (png, jpg, etc), videos (mp4, avi, etc), audio (mp3, wav, etc), documents (pdf, docx, etc), archives (zip, rar, etc).
