    1. Remove all restrictions from media library files
       This is not an option. The 
       client has hundreds of files restricted and they are restricted for a reason.
       They are running a site that has files only accessible to logged in users. This
       would make the files accessible to the public and therefore negate the use of
       your plugin entirely.
    2. delete all rules from .htaccess file
       This essentially does the same thing as#
       1 and then when the client restricts a file it will rebuild the entire .htaccess
       file from the database entry. So this is not really an option either.

 * We’re having a similar issue on many of our sites. I don’t understand where I’m
   supposed to make these changes based on your comment. Can you provide screengrabs,
   please? Or the exact wording for what it is that needs to be changed? Example:
   Forms to protect > Custom contact forms > On

 * To me, the easiest fix would be to build the htaccess file in the opposite order,
   if possible.

 * I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking but this is in regards to the .htaccess
   file located in the uploads directory.

 * I also tested it on a clean WordPress install with only your plugin installed
   and it did the same thing. Just wanted to eliminate any theme or plugin things.

 * OK, I was able to recreate my issue using the following steps.
    1. Add a new file to the media library.
    2. Add protection to that file from the backend of the site using your plugin functionality.
    3. From the media library delete that same file permanently. (Do not remove the
       file protections)
    4. Add that same file to the media library again.
    5. Add protection to that file from the backend of the site using your plugin functionality.
    6. This causes two lines in the .htaccess file referencing the same file in the
       same folder with two different IDs. When you try to access the file it gets 
       to the old record first and returns a media not found error.
 * Example lines from the htaccess file.
   RewriteRule ^(2024/09/PDF-File-2.pdf)$ ../../
   index.php?wpdmmediaid=9493&wpdmmedia=$1RewriteRule ^(2024/09/PDF-File-2.pdf)$../../
   index.php?wpdmmediaid=9494&wpdmmedia=$1

 * Nayeem,
 * I have found the issue but I’m not sure what to do about it. It’s adding multiple
   lines to the .htaccess file that adds the protection to the file(s) in question.
   In this case there are multiple lines referencing the same file in the same folder
   but they all have different wpdmmediaids. The older ones are first in the list
   so once it hits that record it returns a file not found error and stops, not 
   making it to the correct line in the .htaccess file. Does that make sense? So
   either removing duplicates or creating the htaccess file in the opposite direction,
   placing newer records above the older records instead of below would fix this
   issue.
 * Thanks,
   Mike

 * Hi Nayeem!
 * Yes, when uploading a file, we would like the Allow Access to be automatically
   applied with a default setting instead of manually going in and configuring it.
   If possible, we would also like to select multiple files and apply the Allow 
   Access settings as well.

 * We’re running 2.7.3 on a site until they get this fixed. We couldn’t add an embedded
   Google map. The plugin strips out the code. I’ve even had a few instances where
   it completely corrupts the job listing and we need to delete and rebuild it.
