Okay, okay, I put my hands up…
In trying to stop hotlinking, I created a new .htaccess file. Didn’t work. This was because my WordPress blogs all had their own .htaccess files. So I renamed them. The new file now worked – unfortunately this completely fucked all internal links in the blog.
I am currently where I was before – the blog works, but the hotlinking prevention doesn’t.
Put it down to an id10 error…
