Strange thing with Media

[smart_x]

Hi X Team,

I have a strange thing with all my media. I discovered that all of my media is accessible. Do you know how this is possible? Check Secure Note.

Thanks

Hello @smart_x,

The media is accessible because you have categorized it. This is also needed so that the image file will be visible publicly. If it is private, then the image will not display in your site.

Hello X Team,

I have a plugin Enhanced Media Library that can organize the images. I don’t understand what I should make private?

Hello @smart_x,

The media category page is generated by the plugin that you are using. Since it is a third party plugin, we are not use how to control its display. Kindly get in touch with the plugin developer for questions about the plugin.

Thank you.
