How to block specific website from Hotlinking?

I have 2 images that seem to be being hotlinked a lot by a number of websites.
I do not want to implement no-hotlinking for everyone as there are some good websites that do it and provide a proper link to my website. However, a few just steal those 2 images and use them on their VERY spammy websites.

It would be great if there's perhaps a way to just block those websites from accessing my website and taking anything from it.

 

To stop hotlinking from specific outside domains only, such as myspace.com, blogspot.com and livejournal.com, but allow any other web site to hotlink images:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?myspace\.com/ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?blogspot\.com/ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?livejournal\.com/ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ http://i.imgur.com/QHGjyAq.jpg [L]

Code (markup):

What this is saying is don't allow myspace.com, blogspot.com and livejournal.com to hotlink to your image files and instead show the imgur image.

Let me know if you have any questions. If this helps, please like my post.

 

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately this didn't work

 

Can you tell me a little bit more about what didn't work? Might help to include your code snippit so I can debug.

 

THANK YOU. It worked!!! Apparently CDN and a ton of caching were prohibiting me from seeing the results right away. Thank you again!!!

 

No problem. Glad it worked.

 

also, do you by any chance know how to change it properly for say blogspot websites, since they are individual for each country. ex. example.blogspot.com will be shown in USA whille example.blogspot.co.uk will be shown in the UK.

 

Also, it only seems to be working for a website,but not a blog. On a blog, it blocks my own images as well for some reason

 

This is what I have in the file in my blog

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?movieposterssale\.eu/ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?picphotos\.net/ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?blogspot\.com/ [NC,OR]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ http://i.imgur.com/QHGjyAq.jpg [L]

I don't understand what your asking. Can you explain a little further? Also, have you turned off your caching so you can see your changes in real time?

 

Here is the original post since the bot deleted it.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?movieposterssale\.eu/ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?picphotos\.net/ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?blogspot\.com/ [NC,OR]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ http://i.imgur.com/QHGjyAq.jpg [L]

Code (markup):

 

Yep, all the plugins were off. Once the change was implemented on the blog, that picture of a cat was plastered all over the blog. Upon checking, all other websites were prohibited from linking as well.

 

Try this. You don't need to disable plugins.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?movieposterssale\.eu/ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?picphotos\.net/ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?blogspot\.com/ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ http://i.imgur.com/QHGjyAq.jpg [L]


RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
