FAQ
-
Where are my files stored?
-
Your uploaded files are stored in an isolated, secure directory within your WordPress uploads path. To prevent direct hotlinking and unauthorized directory browsing, the plugin automatically creates server configuration guardrails (including
.htaccessandindex.phpblocks) to ensure files can only be accessed securely. -
Does this plugin place artificial limits on total file uploads?
-
No, never. Simple File Vault adheres strictly to the WordPress.org guidelines. There are no artificial limits, caps on file count, storage restrictions, or speed throttles imposed by the plugin. The only physical limitations are those of your hosting server or storage quota.
-
Can I restrict uploads to logged-in users?
-
The free version allows you to place the upload form and directory vault on any page. If you need advanced, fine-grained access rules (such as restriction by specific user roles or private individual folders), you can extend the plugin using the Access Manager add-on to configure custom role walls.
