HELP!!!
-
I need to make pages unable to be directly accessed. I was told to use Prevent Direct Access. I have it installed but it is giving me a message:
‘It looks like you’re using NGINX web server. NGINX doesn’t have .htaccess-type capability, Prevent Direct Access Free cannot modify your server configuration automatically for you. Here’s how you can do it manually:
Update our rewrite rules on your NGINX server as per this instruction:’
rewrite wp-content/uploads/_pda(/[A-Za-z0-9_@./&+-]+)+.([A-Za-z0-9_@./&+-]+)$ ‘/index.php?pda_v3_pf=$1&is_direct_access=true&file_type=$2’ last;
I tried to follow the instructions but I have no idea how to. Can someone please give me step-by-step instructions? It says ‘Find your website’s Nginx config file which is often located at /etc/nginx/site-available or /etc/nginx/conf/site-available (if you’re using Arch Linux)’ and that doesn’t tell me where to go to find it. I am not a website builder just the company owner but I have been able to figure the rest out. This one is just frustrating.

Hey there,
It is not possible to edit the NGIX configuration for your site. Please reach out to the plugin developer directly to see if an alternative solution is available. You can learn more here:

staff-dragon thank you for replying. The plugins was suggested on the WordPress site. Is there another way to accomplish what I need done? I have been searching for days and can’t find anything relavant.

If I do that, will it still display when the user travels from one page to another through designated paths?

@emlllc If a post is set to Private, then only the site Admin or Editors will be able to access it. Anyone else navigating to the page will see an error message.
As far as using the WordPress platform, I do not know of any way to funnel traffic through specific pages while preventing users from accessing other pages.
I have seen websites that operate in this manner, but I don’t know how it may be replicated here.
