Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of the PPWP Lite plugin to check if the issue has been resolved?
I believe Wordfence clearly recommends, “If you see a lot of changed files in a plugin that have been made by the author, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin to force an upgrade.”
If you don’t cooperate with us, there’s little we can do to resolve the situation.
We have reviewed your email, and we apologize for any inconvenience and delay you may have experienced. Our support team member encountered difficulties accessing your account, prompting us to escalate your request to our development team.

We sincerely appreciate your patience regarding this matter. If you require further assistance or have any additional concerns, please do not hesitate to inform us.
Yes, you can set up Cookie Expiration Time to determines how long your visitors can access the protected content without having to re-enter the password.
By default, if users don’t reload/refresh the page, they will still be able to access protected content even after the cookie has expired.
>>>I have hundreds of posts with photos I need to show online (plus thousands in the media library that are not associated with posts and should be hidden from the public). Is there a fast way to tell PDA to let all published posts show the pictures on them? Like “all published posts” can show the photos within the page? I can’t imagine how long it will take to fix them one by one.
I’m not sure I understand your mean.
Are you looking for a way to protect multiple/all files in the Media File and Search & Replace all the pages/posts?
>>>Images visible if they’re loaded as part of another content (post, table, etc.) and Images not visible if a visitor tries to access them directly
Do you mean that authorized users are only able to see your image on the page or post but cannot view the image if they copy the image URL?
Yes, it was a long thread, and I’m not entirely confident that I understood you correctly. Allow me to summarize it here. Please feel free to inform me if there are any wrong.
You’re looking for a protection method (protect folder) that doesn’t change the URL or move the file.
I also recommend cloning your site to a staging environment for testing purposes to ensure everything works properly before implementing it on the live site.
We also have a great dev team to help you if you meet any issue.
To clarify, once a file is protected by Prevent Direct Access (PDA) Gold, its URL is actually changed as we move the file into our protected folder, i.e. _pda. So if you protect media files already embedded in your content, those images or documents (URL) will go missing. That’s why it stopped all your photos from showing on posts.
Here are the steps how to set up our PDA Gold: 1. Protect your files with our PDA Gold plugin
2. Under your WordPress admin dashboard, click on “Prevent Direct Access Gold” menu to set up your file permission (3).
3. Enable Search and Replace option (5) (if you have media files already embedded in your content) and add which pages or posts you want to replace unprotected file URLs in content.)
If you want to Search and replace the unprotected links in a custom post type or select the entire post/page, you need to use some custom codes. (feel free to ask us if you have any questions).
At the moment, we have Passwordless Authentication extension (along with PPWP Pro plugin) that can help you protect your content with reCAPTCHA only. Users just need to verify reCAPTCHA or fill in a form to access your protected content without entering passwords.
So far, we’ve supported this function for whole (individual) page protection, not for partial and sitewide ones.
Glad to hear that you able to fix the crashing issue.
>>>Since I have password protected the entire site, when I enter https://lake2forest.de/ it does not accept password entry for the first time. He accepts it the second time he logs in. Same problem on different devices on different computers.
It looks like a cache issue. Your website still show the cached version of your protected page, i.e. with the login form instead of the private content.
Once you’ve installed and activated the plugin, you can go to *Dashboard* → *Health Check* to see various details about your site and server. Select the *Troubleshooting* tab and then click **Enable Troubleshooting** to automatically disable all plugins and add a new *Troubleshooting Menu* item in the toolbar at the top of the wp-admin dashboard.
From here, you can enable and disable plugins and change the theme for you, but without affecting normal visitors to your site.
Could you try to use the Health Check plugin to enable only PPWP Lite and then run that test again? If those errors are clear, then we’ll know that a conflict with another plugin is causing this.
Awaiting your reply.
