<\/span>\nHow can I use the new Library Viewer Admin Page?\n<\/div>
\n
\n

Starting from version 3.3.0, you can access your library directly from the WordPress back-end. Simply navigate to Media > Library Viewer<\/strong>. You can browse your files in the “Library” tab and customize the page title or access permissions in the “Settings” tab. This is perfect for administrators who need quick access without leaving the dashboard!

<\/span>\nCan users upload or manage folders & files from the front-end?\n<\/div>
\n

<\/span>\nCan I display a folder that is outside of my WordPress root directory?\n<\/div>
\n
\n

Yes, with Library Viewer Pro<\/a><\/strong> you can display any folder on the same server, even if it is outside your WordPress installation directory (e.g., above the public_html folder), as long as the server’s PHP has access to it.
\n This can be achieved using the lv_filter_global_abspath<\/code> filter to change the default ABSPATH to the root path of the folder you want to display.
\n For more detailed instructions and code examples on how to set this up, please feel free to ask in the support forum<\/a><\/strong>. As you can see, I usually respond within a few hours to help you out!<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/span>\nCan I hide specific folders or files from the library?\n<\/div>
\n
\n

Yes. By default, the plugin hides:
\n * Folders containing the string “hidden-folder” in their name.
\n * Files containing the string “hidden-file” in their name.
\n * All .php<\/code> and .ini<\/code> files.
\n Rename your files or folders accordingly to hide them. For more advanced control (including specific inclusion\/exclusion lists), you can use Library Viewer Pro<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/span>\nCan I forbid the direct access to the files in my library?\n<\/div>
\n
\n

Yes, with Library Viewer Pro<\/a><\/strong> you can protect your files so they are only accessible through the plugin’s viewer, preventing direct URL access.
