Link privacy to uploaded content
Quote from mari on October 10, 2018, 1:40 amHello,
We have a private membership site. I would like to know how to prevent links to uploaded content from being public. If you click on an uploaded file in the forum, then it will go to the link of the stored file. You can then copy that link and share it across the internet.
Thank you.

To have a complete access-protection for the folder, you have to apply some kind of .htaccess protection-rules. You can read more about it here:
