Hide Link Download

Open themefour opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Hi. After updating the plugins on the page update-core.php?action=do-plugin-upgrade by clicking on "more details" you can see the link/address to download the zip file. I want to hide this address.

Some developers have hidden this address. Please tell me which file to edit?

I'm not aware of any effective way to hide the URL. You could of course hide the "details" link with CSS or something like that, but this would not stop someone who's familiar with web development from finding the URL.

If you have a plugin that hides the download URL in a secure way, I would also be curious to hear how it does that.

But they use your same library and have hidden the download url only for their plugin! If I write css, it applies to all plugins, even those not with your library.

Unfortunately, I don't know how they did that. I haven't tried it myself, and I haven't seen how other developers do it.
