   How would I keep the /wp-content/uploads hidden from users and forward it to the main site?

   Basically if someone tries to view those folders I want them forwarded to the website homepage.

   thanks

   You can block access to the folder with a .htaccess file. You may not want to put a redirect there because it *may* (meaning I don't know) cause problems with image paths not resolving properly. There are plugins for restricting access to files & folders.

   I don't want the wp-content folders able to be browsed.

   Is there a simple code I can add to the .htaccess file ?
