Hi, I used the Hotlink Protection link in my host's cPanel, http://i39.tinypic.com/30hym9y.jpg and it generated this .htaccess file: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://holliehatton.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://holliehatton.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://holliehatton.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://holliehatton.com$ [NC] RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC] That doesn't seem to do anything though, if I take an image from my main page, http://holliehatton.com/images/comingsoon_02.gif and use it on a hotlink tester, like http://altlab.com/hotlinkchecker.php , the image still shows up. I used a different generator to create this .htaccess file, and placed it in my wordpress folder but with this, it seems to make it so that none of my images show up at all. RewriteEngine on RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp|zip|rar|mp3|flv|swf|xml|php|png|css|pdf|mov|mp4|wmv)$ - [F,NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://holliehatton.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://holliehatton.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.holliehatton.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.holliehatton.com$ [NC] RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp|zip|rar|mp3|flv|swf|xml|php|png|css|pdf|mov|mp4|wmv)$ http://mywebsite.com [R,NC] # BEGIN WordPress # END WordPress This is all new to me, so I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
I am not sure what you are trying to acomplish but if you want to protecft the entire blog do this: Do a fresh install of WordPress Integrate aMember Set "Protect entire blog" in the aMember WordPress plugin You are done. If you just want to protect just media on the site you can put the media inside a protected folder that you create with aMember or even store the files on Amazon S3 and use aMember to retrieve them.
I'd just like to protect the images in the Wordpress Media Library, if possible. Otherwise, I'm not sure how to create image galleries with amember protected links. I can't seem to find any information or tutorials on how other people are creating protected image galleries in Wordpress. So what I thought was, I'd protect the posts themselves with amember, but prevent people from hotlinking to the media library images. I can create new folders within wp-content/uploads/ but I'm not sure how to protect the images within those folders with amember.
