Hidding Indexes from Public

  • And another newbie question, and hopefully the last for awhile. Thank you for all the help so far, Esmi. Anyways…

    When you type in mydomain.com/pix, you can see all our files in the pix folder. How can I block the public from accessing these indexes?

  • You should be able to do that by adding:
    Options -Indexes
    to your .htaccess file.

    If that doesn’t work, try checking your hosting control panel (not WordPress) for options related to “Indexes”.

    Another dumb question, but how do I do that? And off this subject, but since you are being so helpful; is there a plug in to make text on your blog easily wrap around and image like in the .com site or is it operator error again?

    If you are going to modify your .htaccess file, you are going to have to use FTP to access and modify that file.

    To get your images to wrap, you will need to add the following code (at a minimum) to your theme’s style.css file (which you can access by visiting Appearance -> Editor in your WordPress admin area):

    .alignright { float: right; }
.alignleft { float: left; }
