Big Changes

  • Markdown files are served by WordPress under the same role rule as the page, so restricted documentation is no longer readable by direct URL. On by default.
  • The documentation folder can live anywhere, including under version control with the project, via DOCSIFYDOCS_DOCS_DIR.

What's Changed

Docsify fetches every .md over the network, so restricting the page was never enough on its own: a documentation folder reachable by URL is readable by anyone who guesses the path. The new Protect Files setting closes that gap.

  • Files are served through /docsify-docs-files/, behind the same access rule as the page, and a deny rule is written next to them so the folder itself answers nothing.
  • The access rule moved into a single Access class shared by the page template and the endpoint.
  • Only a fixed list of extensions is handed out, paths that escape the documentation folder are refused, and authorization runs before the filesystem is touched so a 404 cannot report which files exist.
  • DOCSIFYDOCS_DOCS_DIR points the documentation at any absolute path. Also available as the docsify_docs_dir filter, with docsify_docs_base_path for the URL.
  • The DOCSIFYDOCS_DEFAULT_* constants can now be set from wp-config.php, so a project keeps its own defaults in the repository rather than only in the database.
  • An empty allowed-roles list now shows the access-denied page instead of redirecting home.

Upgrade Notice

Protected file delivery is on after the update. Documentation keeps rendering, but the .md files stop answering on their old URLs.

The endpoint is a rewrite rule, so it needs pretty permalinks. If your permalinks are set to Plain, the setting reports itself as inactive and nothing changes. On nginx, or any server that ignores .htaccess, add the equivalent deny for the documentation folder to your server configuration.

Install
