Timthumb URL .htaccess

  • Hi,

    Firstly thanks for a great plugin.

    I’m wanting to lock down wp-content using a .htaccess file which works fine for all aspects of my site except this is stopping the slider images loading unless I allow access to PHP. This defeats the object of locking down the folder. I think this is being caused by the timthumb URL’s including the .PHP????

    Additionally the timthumb URL’s aren’t great for SEO and I was wondering if you had any ideas on a fix to force ‘pretty’ URL’s to be output to the slider?

    – Could I correctly size images in the wordpress gallery and then avoid using timthumb?
    – Could a rewrite rule work on the timthumb URL’s?
    – Could WP inbuilt resizer be used?

    Many thanks for advise and solutions.

    Under Help > Advanced Options, you can choose to disable TimThumb resizing. Then images will be used as is. This may be a direct fix for your issues.

    Sorry for the quick response, but I figure that’s better than none.
