Smart little hack, thanks for sharing. It’s really annoying to have images hotlinked all over the place, especially if it’s done systematically by competitors.

@Chetan, Yeah it is risky but if we have a backup of .htaccess file then no problem. Just revert back the changes.

Playing with .htaccess file is really risky task, but its very powerful file in hosting. Thanks for sharing this trick.and yes backup for that file is also important.

BTW Nice theme dude.

@Lyndi, Me too. There is one problem. If we are using google gears or importing posts along with images to our local wordpress. If this rule is there then we won’t get the images. For that we need to comment out that line temporarily.
