The Challenge
Our client needed a solution that would enable their website users to upload, download, and manage files from the frontend of their WordPress site, without granting direct access to the server file system. Our team developed a custom WordPress plugin that implemented user role-based restrictions to ensure that only authorized users could access specific files, streamlining the file management process and enhancing the site’s security.
The Solution
Our team developed a custom WordPress plugin that enabled frontend file management with user role-based restrictions. To prevent direct access to the server file system, we implemented a custom URL rewrite rule that redirected all file requests to the main index file of the plugin. This allowed us to perform the necessary role-based checks to ensure that only authorized users could access specific files.
We created a custom file manager interface on the frontend that allowed users to navigate through folders, view and download files, and perform basic file management tasks such as renaming files and creating folders. However, we did not provide a frontend file upload form, as this functionality was restricted to the admin user.
For the admin user, we developed a backend file management system that allowed them to create folders and subfolders, upload files to specific folders, and manage the files and folders with ease. The folders and files were saved logically within the plugin’s database, rather than on the actual file system, ensuring better organization and easier management.
Our solution streamlined the file management process for the client’s users and enhanced the security of the site by preventing unauthorized access to sensitive files. The plugin also offered a more efficient and organized way for the admin to manage files and folders, reducing the chances of human error and saving time.
