Hotlink Protection

This plugin is adopted and being maintained. Caution: This plugin may not work on all setups and is best to be considered beta. It has been updated to work on more setups than it previously worked on.

The WordPress Automatic Image Hotlink Protection plugin is a single step script designed to stop others from stealing your images. Simply add an .htaccess file to your root folder thereby stopping external web servers from linking directly to your files.

The script automatically tests to to see if your web server is compatible with the script before adding the .htaccess file and setting the appropriate permissions. If deactivated, the script removes the code from your .htaccess file.

• Please Note : This plugin works only with the primary domain, and the www. addition not subdomains, for example mycow.example.com would not work, but example.com should work.
