how it worksif you've been uploading stuff through wordpress lately and didn't know your images could be hotlinked or show up in search results, well. now's a good time to learn. by adding some server-level protection like noindex headers ⚑, blocking direct links with. htaccess rules ️, plus securing attachment pages via plugins - you can keep those files safe and sound.
i've tried out this setup on my site, it's not too complicated but definitely makes a difference. i highly recommend giving these steps a shot if privacy is something that matters to your content! what about y'all - have any other tips for keeping media secure? share away or let me know how you're dealing with hotlinking and search indexing!
>anyone else feeling like their uploads are being stolen left & right?i've noticed more than one site struggling here.
