 * I currently run my WordPress site on an nginx server that does not provide .htaccess
   support, or me customizing the nginx config file. Will this plugin still work
   knowing that limitation?

 * .htaccess rules in apache just too add file access privacy, that will to affect
   plugin functionality. In nginx if you can apply simlar rule using configuration
   like this:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       location ~ /(no_access_folder)
       {
            deny all;
            return 403;
       }
       ```

 * As I mentioned prior, I don’t have the ability to modify the configuration file
   for nginx. I need a wp solution.

 * There is no wp solution, Also, the configuration is not mandatory. WPDM functionality
   will not be affected by it.
