    I’m trying to stop hotlinking. How do I change the following so that it allows hotlinking from any of the subdomains at peaceandtruth.com? (e.g. blog.peaceandtruth.com)

    ‘# block hotlinking
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^https://(www\.)?peaceandtruth.com/.*$ [NC]
    RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|js|css)$ – [F]’

    Thanks!

    Open your .htaccess file.

    Add that code ABOVE the calls to WordPress.

    Save.

    You’ll need some sort of FTP or file editing client on your PC to go edit the file, mind you. And you’ll need to make sure you ‘show hidden files’. Your host should have some directions on how they want you do that.

    Thanks. What I am really looking for is to allow subdomains.

    The above code words fine (I’ve tried it), however, the only subdomain it allows is https://www.peaceandtruth.com. I want to allow all subdomains for peaceandtruth.com. e.g. blog.peaceandtruth.com.

    Thanks for the link, it was very thorough. What I was looking for-a catch-all for any requests from my site- was something like this:

    https?://([^.]+\.)?peaceandtruth\.([^.]+\.)?
