Storage, security, and update improvements

WP FileShelf v0.1.3 improves where FileShelf files are stored, how older installations are migrated, and how plugin updates are handled from the FileShelf admin.

Storage changes

FileShelf-managed files now use:

WP_CONTENT_DIR/wp-fileshelf-uploads/
On a standard WordPress installation, this is:

/wp-content/wp-fileshelf-uploads/
This keeps FileShelf files inside the normal WordPress content area while remaining separate from the standard Media Library at /wp-content/uploads/.

Existing public FileShelf links, such as:

/hr-docs/example.pdf
remain unchanged.

Automatic migration

Existing installations using the previous root-level /wp-fileshelf-uploads/ directory are migrated automatically.

FileShelf will:

  • Attempt to move the existing directory directly
  • Fall back to copying and verifying files if needed
  • Remove the old directory only after a successful migration
  • Preserve and continue using the legacy directory if migration cannot complete safely
  • Run migration correctly during both normal upgrades and activation

Security improvements

  • Added direct-access protection files for supported Apache/LiteSpeed and IIS environments
  • Updated uninstall cleanup to support both current and legacy storage locations
  • Updated storage safety checks and marker handling

Plugin update improvements

The Plugin Updates section in FileShelf Settings now makes available updates much easier to identify.

  • Highlights the latest release when it is newer than the installed version
  • Adds an “Update available” status indicator
  • Shows clearer installed vs latest version messaging
  • Adds a direct “Update to vX.Y.Z” button
  • Uses WordPress’s native plugin upgrader for the update process
  • Shows update progress and success states
  • Reloads the FileShelf settings page after a successful update

Notes

This release changes the physical storage location and update workflow, but does not change existing FileShelf public URLs or file records.
