TechMixerWordPress Images Hotlink protection plugin – Protect Blog Images from images theft / hotlinking
ADVERTISEMENTSWordpress Hotlink protection plugin , A useful plugin that avoid being hotlink by spam blogs, forums, etc without your authorization. Meanwhile, preventing feed readers or images theft use your images on their website and use up all your server bandwidth without any noticed. Meanwhile, i have try using image hotlinking using .htaccess approach or my web control panel, but it didn’t work because images weren’t visible for RSS Readers.
However, Thanks to Lim Dul for the creation of Images Hotlink protection plugin that helps prevent image hotlinking as easy as installing and activating. This images protection plugin will blocks image hotlinking by displaying this following image by default.
How Wordpress Hotlink protection plugin works:
- Referrer check if someone requests an image from your blog.
If the referrer is not empty and not your blog the request is redirected to an information image - The image urls in the feed are replaced by an alternate url. This url is not protected by a referrer check so online feed readers get the image
What Wordpress Hotlink Protection plugin doesn’t do:
- It doesn’t protect the images in the feed. So hotlinking the image urls from the feed is possible. But in my opinion it is nearly impossible to protect this images without breaking some online feed readers.
- It doesn’t prevent someone from downloading your images and placing them on their own webspace

Thanks for the info.
I’m looking for hotlinking protection and what I found is only htaccess modification. Now this articles really helpful to me as I don’t have to modified htaccess and just have to install this plugin.
BTW, Isn’t it better to watermark the image rather than protect from hotlinking? Watermark is a kind of website promotion right?

@Sukses,
Watermark is something like adding some trademark / logo on the images. Which is images is very blur.

I’ve got this plugin instaled. But it’s still not providing the hotlink protection. The thieves are using: http://www.your-name.com/index.php?feedimage=wp-content/uploads to hotlink.
How to prevent this using the plugin?

That’s very interesting,but did you know?
It’s a fact: if you want your website to make you money, generate leads or get subscribers you have to advertise in order to drive traffic to it. Of course this is true for any business, but it is absolutely essential for online business.
The problem is that online advertising can cost a fortune and that “fortune” you spend on advertising is eating away at your profits every single month.
Think about it…
