Features

  • Choose from a list of common file extensions and include your own
  • Allow linking from multiple authorized websites
  • Selectively control direct linking

This plugin modifies the site's .htaccess file and requires mod_rewrite or compatible modules like ISAPI_rewrite for IIS.

Notes

This plugin was inspired by the Hotlink Protection plugin. There was a need for a more flexible implementation and so this plugin was created.
