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.
A closer look.
For most, the built-in plugin installation system for WordPress will be all you need. Alternately, uploading the zip file to the installer should also work. For those who prefer manual installation:
- 01Unzip configurable-hotlink-protection.zip and upload the contents into the /wp-content/plugins directory
- 02Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- 03Configure options under Settings -> Hotlink Protection
