For example, this one is accessible to logged-in users but not to guests: https://addons.wpforo.com/community/forofile/5bc46206c6a07314eb37a94059e49590/.

You can try checking it again.

Or am I wrong?]]> General Discussions Elli https://wpforo.com/community/general-discussions/attachments-visible-to-all-in-forum-for-registered-users-only/#post-122631 RE: Attachments visible to all in forum for registered users only https://wpforo.com/community/general-discussions/attachments-visible-to-all-in-forum-for-registered-users-only/#post-122575 Thu, 12 Dec 2024 10:05:19 +0000 @spider24 

You can check the option here: addons.wpforo.com/community/

Now the "Secure Attachment URLs" option is enabled.

It might just be what I need (also to better manage attachments), have you had a chance to test it?
Thanks :)]]> General Discussions Elli https://wpforo.com/community/general-discussions/attachments-visible-to-all-in-forum-for-registered-users-only/#post-122538 RE: Attachments visible to all in forum for registered users only https://wpforo.com/community/general-discussions/attachments-visible-to-all-in-forum-for-registered-users-only/#post-122535 Mon, 09 Dec 2024 07:41:38 +0000 @tutrix hi!
OK, everything is clearer to me now, thank you very much!
I definitely have to test these plugins, also for other problems...

Thanks :)

This setting only blocks visibility in the forum.
If you know the direct link, you can still open the file, but this applies to the complete upload directory.

but you can test plugins that protect the files

for example

I tried that too, but it doesn't work...

The image above is from wpForo version 1.x.x.
This has changed in the current version 2.x.x

I checked, there is no ‘Can view attached files’ permission for forum access.
However, I have noticed that all files in my forum's ‘Media Library’ folder can be accessed by unconnected users, and the attachments end up in that folder.
Could it be due to that? My site is private, in theory, unregistered users should not be able to reach these files... I'm definitely doing something wrong, but I don't understand what... 🤔 

Elli
