Why does my hotlinking not work?

    14 years, 2 months ago

    I was using hotlink protection from CPanel with little problem until recently. It just stops workings. I have an .htaccess file in public html and content/uplaods folders. This is what they look like:

    RewriteEngine on

    # BEGIN WPSuperCache
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !POST
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*=.*
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress_logged_in|wp-postpass_).*$
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Wap-Profile} !^[a-z0-9\”]+ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Profile} !^[a-z0-9\”]+ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip
    RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz -f
    RewriteRule ^(.*) “/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz” [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !POST
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*=.*
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress_logged_in|wp-postpass_).*$
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Wap-Profile} !^[a-z0-9\”]+ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Profile} !^[a-z0-9\”]+ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html -f
    RewriteRule ^(.*) “/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html” [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WPSuperCache

    <Files 403.shtml>
    order allow,deny
    allow from all
    </Files>
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    # Hotlink Protection START #

    RewriteEngine on

    # Hotlink Protection END #

    Used to be fine and after some upgrades a while back -maybe around 3.0.1- I began to have problems with it working properly. I gotit all going again a couple mnonths ago but now nothing happens again. This includes using the plugin that installs the code automaitcally to my .htccess.

    Is something crucial missing or added here in my . htaccess?

    I have exhausted myself with this. My WP skills are nominal but I can do somethigns if the directions are clear.

    Thanks

    Bill
