WP Folio Team

Hi fatherb,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

It seems you’re using the rule of PDA Gold version instead of the rule of PDA Free version and it’s still working for some reason.

Could you help to provide the rule you’re using for us to take a look please?

If you’re using PDA Free version, please help to check if you’re using this rule:

rewrite wp-content/uploads/_pda(\/[A-Za-z0-9_@.\/&+-]+)+\.([A-Za-z0-9_@.\/&+-]+)$ "/index.php?pda_v3_pf=$1&is_direct_access=true&file_type=$2" last;
rewrite private/([a-zA-Z0-9-_.]+)$ "/index.php?pda_v3_pf=$1" last;				

Awaiting your reply.

Hi @itapress ,

Sorry for the late response.

>>>I am referring to the placeholder string “Enter one password per line” which uses the esc_attr() function and not the esc_attr__() function which allows translation. Then the text domain should also be corrected from ‘wp-protect-password’ to PPW_Constants::DOMAIN.

Yes, we have already fixed it in version 1.9.2 by replacing ‘wp-protect-password’ with PPW_Constants::DOMAIN.

>>>But I think it’s better to delete the unnecessary text domain reference where is ‘<?php echo esc_html( $password, PPW_Constants::DOMAIN ); ?>‘ in this line:

Thank you again for your feedback. We truly appreciate it.

I have notified our development team, and they will remove any unnecessary text domains in the plugin in the next version.

Hi @kristtranslate ,

Thank you for the information. There was a misunderstanding, but we understand your point now.

Using APIs (specifically wp-json/wp/v2/ route) to bypass Sitewide Protection has been identified as a bug reported by WordFence, rather than a feature.

Therefore, we have addressed this issue in version 1.9.1+. The WordPress site’s APIs must remain protected until you use the password to unlock Sitewide Protection. If they aren’t protected, unauthorized users could potentially access your site.

If you need to bypass Sitewide Protection, we recommend using our quick access link (QALs), Whitelist specific user roles, or Whitelist specific IP addresses provided via the PPWP Pro plugin.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi @abbielee ,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

It looks like the issue related to your themes.

We’re able to enter the password if we adjust your site width. You can watch the video we attached below.

Hi @dviolante ,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

>>>BTW your video at https://preventdirectaccess.com/extensions/protect-wordpress-videos/ doesnt work either

Could you help to use the link below and check if it works please? It could be a cache issue.

https://preventdirectaccess.com/extensions/protect-wordpress-videos/?=123123

>>>when i protect a video with your plugin, as admin i can see the video but no one else can see the video, we see Media error: Format(s) not supported or source(s) not found message.

To clarify, PDA Gold/PDA Lite does protect your video URL against custom user roles but it doesn’t allow anyone to view your videos online

To view your protected videos which are embedded into your pages/posts online, you will need the PDA Gold and the PDA Protect WordPress Videos & Audios extension.

Which PDA version are you using? PDA Lite or PDA Gold? and have you purchased the PDA Protect WordPress Videos & Audios extension yet?

Hello @webbmasterpianise ,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

To be specific, password-protecting entire shop page is an advanced feature, which requires our WooComemrce Integration on top of PPWP Pro plugin.

By default, WooCommerce doesn’t allow password protection for your entire WooCommerce shop. 

That’s why we need an integration with this platform for our protection to work properly.

To protect your entire shop, simply go to Pages and click on “Password Protect” button next to the Shop page.

 As a result, your entire shop will be hidden under a password form while the rest of your website is still accessible to the public.

Our plugins allow you to create multiple passwords to unlock your protected shop page. 

You can also manage all passwords at the same place, e.g. restrict passwords by time or usage, view total usage.

Let us know if that makes sense.

Hi @designerchrome ,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

To better assist you, could you please provide:

• A sample protected page URL and the password so we can take a look.
• The hosting server and cache details you are using.
• The theme you are using.

Awaiting your reply.

Hi @xscontrol ,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

To assist you better, could you please provide the following information?

• Which PDA version are you using: PDA Lite or PDA Gold?
• What hosting server and cache server are you using?
• Could you provide us with the .htaccess file to review?
• Was the file on the product page created before or after the file protection was applied?

Awaiting your reply.
