Hotlink Protection not working with .htaccess and OpenLiteSpeed and WordPress

973 views Asked by At

I am trying to prevent the hotlinking of images and videos from my website. I have OpenLiteSpeed installed on my server. I added this code on top of the .htaccess file according to the official guide but it does not prevent hotlinking.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?example.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp|mp4)$ - [F]

Full .htaccess code is below

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?example.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F]

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/?\.user\.ini$
        RewriteRule .* - [F,L,NC]
</IfModule>

                Deny from all
        </IfModule>
        </Files>

I have made a free blogspot.com blog to test it. When I embed videos and images from my website to this blog, they are not blocked and are embedded successfully. What changes do I need to make to .htacess to make it work and prevent other sites from embedding my content?
