Hi,

Thanks for your message!

The Content Expiry add-on isn’t built to support automatic deletion of files or content after a set period (such as one year).
This would require a custom solution using scheduled tasks — possibly with a plugin like WP Crontrol — and some additional code.

—

As for the Search add-on, yes, it allows logged-in users to search through their private content (files, pages, etc.) using a search form with filters such as:

– keyword (query)
– content type
– sorting options
– number of results

The results are grouped by content type and shown in a dedicated section.

Hi Mikel,

Sorry for the delay, and thanks for your message!

The categories key can work, but only with post types that support categories (like regular posts). Make sure to use numeric category IDs, like:

"categories": [1]

For example:

[
  {
    "type": "cuar_private_file",
    "title": "Confidential document",
    "content": "This is a file.",
    "categories": [12, 34],
    "owners": {
      "usr": [3]
    },
    "attachments": {
      "document.pdf": {
        "method": "move",
        "caption": "Attached file"
      }
    }
  }
]

Note that for custom post types like cuar_private_file, categories may not be supported unless specifically added via code or an add-on.

Let us know if this helps or if you have further questions!

Hi Mikel,

Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for your question!
At the moment, the Bulk Import add-on doesn’t support adding files to existing posts — it only creates new ones.
We’ll keep your suggestion in mind for future improvements!

Hello,

Best way and simplest way would be to create a private page. Even if you could use the Protect Post Types add-on to add an Owner Assignation box to your pages, in order to select an owner, this add-on is not recommended to be used for standard post_types such as Posts or Pages, but is best suited for Post Types you created yourself. The reason behind this is that WordPress or many plugins will by default manipulate those post types, and WP Customer Area won’t be able to make it private by itself. For instance, by default, your pages and their content will be populated into your RSS feeds, and will make them readable from anyone. This wouldn’t be what you mean by “privately sharing”.

Also, keep in mind that even if you create a private page, WP Customer Area cannot fully protect the photo galleries you’ll insert into those pages by using the DIVI content builder, or even the WP Media upload gallery.
Any media that you’ll upload this way will be stored in the wp-content/uploads folder on your FTP, and medias will be loaded via a direct HTTP url. When you upload an attachment file to a private file, this is not happening especially if you properly secured your file storage folder. Those files can’t be accessed by any direct HTTP url, which means an user have to be logged-in to be able to download the image. For medias uploaded from the DIVI page builder, anyone being aware of the direct URLs of the medias inserted in those private content would be able to view/download them without the need to be connected to its account.

I hope that makes sense.

Regards.
