    If you mean you do not want those folders viewable when someone types that url in the browser then i would suggest turning off directory listing. (If that is what you meant).

    Just put a blank index.html in that folder. SO it will display nothing ;)

    Yes, you can disable directory listing, so no one can access unless you provide the link to. One way to do so is changing permissions. But it is a bad idea!!!

    If your permissions are OK, no one can see those folders.

    Use .htaccess for that, Jalpari.

    Create an .htaccess file with the following code:
    Options -Indexes
    PHP:
    Next, upload that file to your themes and plugins folders. That should keep people from watching what's inside of them.
