This is seems to be a nice plugin and I have the following questions.

1. I want to alllow every user to login only from their own IP address, Is this possible? This is to avoid sharing of login details.

2. If the number 1 question is possible, does this plugin do it automatically, or should I each user’s IP address? How to find users’ IP addresses?

Thanks a lot and I’m really hoping for your answer…. I tried restrict ip login but it does not give me what I need… Hope this plugin does..

Thanks a lot,
Raden

Unfortunately, due to the way WordPress handles files, files are only hidden by obscurity. If someone has a direct link to an upload, theyll be able to retrieve, it regardless of whether theyre logged in / unblocked.

The only way around this would be to use htaccess level protection on that folder. I would have to modify the plugin to block direct access to files in that, and stream them through a PHP script for download.

Of course, this could be trickier than first blush might suggest. For instance, what about images embedded on a page? Streaming those in (instead of a plain old image src reference) would be confusing and complicated to implement. Perhaps there would be a checkbox for media items called secured file that would control which files can are blocked / have to be streamed. Of course, then they would also have to live in a seperate folder.

Ill investigate further, but theres no quick fix for this that I know of. If someone would like to fork the code to do this or sponsor the feature, it could get attention sooner!

In short, no access to anything on the site, unless you have a login?

Thanks,
