See my question and answer again, you linked it already in your question: simple solution for restricting access to (some) uploads/downloads The solution isn’t that hairy the only necessity – besides configuring the plugin correct – is to create a .htaccess, which you could do programmatically. For that you have to automate the creation of … Read more
It looks like whatever the issue is has something to do with upgrading to 3.8 and Magic Fields V2 being up to date. I changed define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); to false, made sure WordPress was up to date, made sure Magic Fields V2 is up to date, no other plugins were active and there were no other … Read more
I’m copying a previous answer here as I think it will help. What this will do is whenever the media library pops up, instead of showing all media for a given post it will filter down to only images attached to the post. You could paste this right into your functions file: /** * Media … Read more
You can’t right now. This needs to be fixed in wordpress core. Probably this can be temporarily circumvented for a fraction of the problems with a plugin, but it’s much more valuable to invest the time developing something in an actual fix of wordpress.
Looks like this is a defect. Ish. As @s_ha_dum mentioned, this is to prevent a directory traversal attack. However, WordPress’ Media Library will happily let you upload a file with two or more periods in a row, even if ms-files.php will refuse to serve it up. So, nothing is technically “broken”, but this certainly isn’t … Read more
Here’s what I did (step 3 should probably solve your problem): 1. Update .htaccess File Add the following to the .htaccess file: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L] 2. Update WordPress Site URL Navigated to Settings > General and update the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) to https. 3. Update … Read more
I haven’t tested this in multi-site but can’t see any reason that it wouldn’t work. The Add from Server plugin searches for images that you manually upload to WordPress and adds them to the media manager. You can find it here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-from-server/ Tested on the latest WordPress.
Welcome to WPSE marctain! Edit There are some critiques on using the guid but no one of the commentators managed to edit this answer to a better one, so I’ll do it. Yes, using guid is a bad idea in the long run, I knew that and I should have pointed that out, I didn’t, … Read more
It’s because you’re not registering them as a media type. Every upload is a WordPress post of the attachment type. To start, it would be something like this: $file_name=”Some Name”; $file_path=”/path/to/uploads/2012/08/04/newfile.jpg”; $file_url=”http://url/to/uploads/2012/08/04/newfile.jpg”; $wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype($file, null); $attachment = array( ‘guid’ => $file_url, ‘post_mime_type’ => $wp_filetype[‘type’], ‘post_title’ => $file_name, ‘post_status’ => ‘inherit’, ‘post_date’ => date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’) … Read more
There’s a filter called media_upload_default_tab that you can use to do this. <?php add_filter(‘media_upload_default_tab’, ‘wpse74422_switch_tab’); function wpse74422_switch_tab($tab) { return ‘library’; } You can set the to be whatever — assuming the tab exists. The tab keys themselves are found in the functon media_upload_tabs. <?php /** * Defines the default media upload tabs * * @since … Read more
