Re: change secured directory files

Thanks for the excellent question.

If you'd like to move your protected files:

Create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php

Inside the file, do this with PHP code.

Code:: add_filter("ws_plugin__s2member_files_dir", "my_files_dir"); function my_files_dir(){ return "/usr/home/path/to/files"; } ?>

* Change "/usr/home/path/to/files" to the full server path leading to the location of your protected files.

For a custom logs directory, the process is the same:

Code:: add_filter("ws_plugin__s2member_files_dir", "my_files_dir"); function my_files_dir(){ return "/usr/home/path/to/files"; } add_filter("ws_plugin__s2member_logs_dir", "my_logs_dir"); function my_logs_dir(){ return "/usr/home/path/to/logs"; } ?>

change secured directory files

2011-03-17T16:05:24-05:00

I've got

WP Version 3.1
S2Member version 3.5.4

I've read the part that says

s2Member's directory locations for /s2member-files/ and /s2member-logs/ are now nested into a sub-directory of /app_data/ ONLY on Windows® servers. This way all files in these directories will be secured from public access in a Windows® environment. On a Windows® server, the /app_data/ directory name is special. Files within a directory with this special name are automatically protected from public access, without needing to create an .htaccess workaround, or use a web.config file. In addition, s2Member now makes two WordPress® Filters available ( ws_plugin__s2member_files_dir and ws_plugin__s2member_logs_dir ) giving developers the ability to move their protected files and/or logs to a custom directory of their choosing; if/when this is needed in special cases.

just exactly how do you do it? can you please give me a step by step tutorial?

Thank You!
