Because you were using “Memphis Documents Library” and the fold created by the other plugin was set to inaccessible using directory permissions. Kindly check the directory permissions and let me know if your issue get resolved. It has nothing to do with wp-docs plugin, it is not managing the directory permissions for the other plugins.
Thanks so much for the quik response. It refreshing! It was the .htcaccess file. This is what was in the mdocs folder:
(mdocs directory)
Deny from all
Options +Indexes
So I modified it to the same file permissions as the Uploads folder:
#Begin Really Simple Security
<Files *.php>
Require all denied
</Files>
#End Really Simple Security
Options +Indexes
That fixed the issue. Do you see any security risks in this change?
Again, Thanks for your support!
Security risks are always related to write permissions not the read permissions. Obviously you are providing a file in the directory navigation, you are making it public with your consent by removing the restrictions from the .htaccess, see those restrictions were not added by WordPress or wp-docs plugin but memphis. I am repeating, security risks are related to write permissions basically. And you just changed something regarding file access/read permissions. So it is not a security risk. You just removed an additional stuff added by another plugin.
I’m new to Apache so the reasurance helps. Thanks for your time.
