Overview
Media File Limiter is a lightweight and efficient plugin designed to strengthen your WordPress upload security.
It limits the maximum upload file size (in MB) and blocks specific dangerous file extensions (e.g., .exe, .php, .html, .js), preventing malicious or oversized files from being uploaded to your media library.
Unlike traditional file validation, this plugin operates at the earliest possible stage of the upload process via the wp_handle_upload_prefilter hook, ensuring that dangerous files are blocked before WordPress processes them.
