I fixed the issue!
I found that using the Hide My WordPress Plugin, this fiddles with the path on the front end…
Solution was adding:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} my-contents/(.*)$
into htaccess, so it looks like this as a whole:
# BEGIN AAM Media Access Control
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(pdf|doc|docx|ppt|pptx|pps|ppsx|odt|xls|xlsx|psd)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} wp-content/uploads/(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} my-contents/(.*)$
RewriteRule . /index.php?aam-media=1 [L]
</IfModule>
# END AAM Media Access Control

Hi,
I have the same problem.
I use Elementor and have a file in
. /wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/150px-Coat_of_arms_of_Berlin-ofi3z58ba0smvu00f7jufefe2cqb2z2rndy3dgnrpc.png
that is not shown upon activation of the media protection.
However the media protection for direct access to media files wors very well – no access being logged out, access being logged in.
Only said file is NOT accessible being logged in.
If I am going for the solution mentioned by Daniel Moore, all files become accessible again even if not logged in.
I tried to add
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} my-contents/(.*)$
as well as
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/(.*)$
what am I doing wrong?
thanks in advance for any suggestions.
greetings
Seb.
