# Hiding Directory

 * How do I hide the directory for this plugin but still be able to use it properly?
   I am being asked to block directory browsing i.e. [http://sitename/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce](http://sitename/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce)
 * When I block it, the product data section stops working. How do I fix this? I
   need to secure the directory but not break the plugin?
 * So far, I used a .htaccess file in the directory and it did block the viewing
   of the directory but broke the plugin.
 * Thanks in advance for you help.

 * You mean directory listing? Add this to .htaccess file:
    `Options -Indexes`
