## Descrizione

**Secure Private Files** allows you to securely manage and share private files with
selected users or user roles in WordPress.

Files are protected using **unique token-based URLs**, ensuring they cannot be accessed
without proper permission. You can define **who can download each file**, set an**
expiry date**, and track **download activity**.

This plugin is ideal for:
 – Membership sites – Client portals – Secure document
sharing – Restricted downloads – Private resources for logged-in users

### Key Features

 * Secure token-based file access (no public URLs)
 * Assign files to **specific users**
 * Allow access by **user roles**
 * Optional **expiry date** for each file
 * Logged-in user verification
 * Download activity logging (user, IP, date)
 * Dedicated **Private Files** custom post type
 * Media library integration for file selection
 * AJAX-powered user search (Select2)
 * Frontend shortcode to list accessible files
 * Works with any WordPress theme
 * No third-party dependency required

### How It Works

 1. Admin creates a **Private File** post
 2. Uploads or selects a file from Media Library
 3. Assigns allowed users and/or roles
 4. (Optional) Sets an expiry date
 5. Plugin generates a secure download token
 6. Authorized users can download the file using the secure link

### Shortcodes

## Changelog

#### 1.0.7

 * Added a Docs page under Secure Private Files with shortcode instructions
 * Improved [secure_files] frontend layout with responsive file cards
 * Added file type, size, expiry information, and secure Download buttons
 * Expired files are hidden from the frontend list
 * Added secure, sanitized dynamic frontend display fields to the Docs page
 * Added customizable eyebrow, title, description, available count, download label,
   and empty-state text
 * Dynamic display settings affect presentation only and never bypass file access
   controls

#### 1.0.6

 * Compatibility : WordPress 7.1

#### 1.0.5

 * Security fix: protected files were previously stored as normal media
    attachments
   under wp-content/uploads/, making them directly downloadable via their public
   URL and enumerable via the unauthenticated /wp/v2/media REST endpoint, bypassing
   all login/role/expiry checks. Protected files are now relocated on save into 
   a dedicated directory that is denied at the web-server level (.htaccess / web.
   config), are excluded from REST API media responses, and existing sites are migrated
   automatically on upgrade.

#### 1.0.4

#### 1.0.3

 * Few minor bugfix and improvements

#### 1.0.2
