Hello,
my blog is based on images. One post = one image (uploaded by WP) and the goal is to protect the image with S2member.
I did protect one category and tried to look if there was some possibility to see the images in this category by other ways.
First, I create an .htaccess with Options -Indexes in the upload folder to block navigation through the folders (very easy to know where the images are with WP).
I took a look in the sitemap.xml I created with a plugin and saw links like these:

Code: Select all

http://www.sitename.org/blog/protected-category/post-title/attachment/name-of-the-file-without-extension/

If I copy these links in my browser I go to a page where the image attached to the post is visible. If you have an idea to hide or protect these adresses. Will the Alternate View options influence the sitemap.xml file ?
Thank you for eventual answer...

After some tests, there is no problem. I can hide posts from the sitemap with the plugin I use and the images do not show in Google search. You can delete this thread.
