Block Logged-Out Users from Accessing Sub-Directories via .htaccess

Comes in handy if you have items saved in a Plugin’s additional folders that you’d like to only be accessible to your paid / subscribed users.

The below example shows the plugin directory wpfb-file.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*wpfb-file/.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*wordpress_logged_in.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule . /index.php?redirect_to=%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
