I am having problems with password protected directories and images in files. Directories The directory http://samhulse.co.uk/clients/ exists and is password protected but it sends up a 404 if you try and view it Images http://samhulse.co.uk/workjpgs/ the images in this folder redirect to another domain on my account http://gamepixel.co.uk/ and won't show the images I've asked my host about this, and they say there must be conflicting .htaccess issues but they don't deal with web development issues and won't help me out. In the control panel area, hotlink protection is disabled, but when I click disable button again the images worked for a little while, but it made all my permalinks on WordPress die which is what lead me to believe it has something to do with this. This is my .htaccess file content # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress RewriteRule ^eebi/?$ http://fr.eebi.es/ [R=301,L] AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .phpRewriteCond Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteBase /gamepixel/ RewriteRule /([0-9]+) index.php?act=play&id=$1 order allow,deny deny from 24.151.37.37 allow from all Code (markup): As you can imagine this is very annoying! The problem has only occoured recently, and I don't know what the problem is and my host won't help, so, any ideas?!
