• I’m trying to block spam referrers like ranksonic and the plugin approach doesn’t seem to be working. I found that I can do this via the .htaccess file, but am not sure I’m doing it right. Here is the content of my file, it’s the lines at the bottom that are the issue. Can anyone please verify if I’m doing it right or not, and if I’m not, how can I fix it? Thanks!
