htaccess/hotlinking for WP

do you have any .htaccess files down below the one in your top directory?

if so, do they contain:

RewriteOptions inherit

in them?

If they don't, they replace the existing rewrite rules

also, your rules that end with .$ won't match much of anything -- you need them to either be .*$ or remove the .$ at the end.

I changed the htaccess using the coding you gave Nyjester as follows

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} asktiava.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://avoidhomeforeclosureblog.com [F,L]

When I click on the link on asktiava.com it gives a 403 error

What do I need to change to direct it to http://avoidhomeforeclosureblog.com
