Images not showing

Using the web inspector in Safari I see a lot of error messages:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)

Check the permissions for the /images/articles/2015 folder.

Thanks Matt!

How do you do that and where is the “web inspector”?

For Safari:

1. Go to Preferences -> Advanced, and check the box to show the Develop menu.

2. With that turned on you can either right click an element on a page and then do Inspect Element, or you can go to the Develop menu and select Show Web Inspector.

Thanks Matt, but then what do I do? Many of them aren’t showing. Must be something simple, but I’m not very technical.

Hi,

I’m able to see all of the images in your blog.
If problem still exists , can u post the link where I can see the problem?

https://phuketcrime.com/?p=4277

It’s because ur website prevents hotlinking of some files.

What is hotlinking?

Hot link protection prevents other websites from directly linking to files and pictures on your website. Other sites will only be able to link to file types that you don’t specify.

Are u using cPanel based hosting?

Also provide .htaccess file content.

Yes I use Cpanel.

What do you mean by “provide .htaccess file content”?

Hi

This might help you.

In your cPanel go to security options

and then click on Hotlink protection.

Add your blog name https://phuketcrime.com and https://media.phuketgazette.net/

or https://phuketcrime.com and *.media.phuketgazette.net/ in

URL’s to allow access.

THis should solve your problem.

Well I had to access hotlink protection through htaccess.

There were no “security settings” unfortunately.

I did click on hotlink protection and I put in that first set of domains.

Still doesn’t work.

Can you paste content of .htaccess file here?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?https://phuketcrime.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?https://media.phuketgazette.net.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.+\.()$ – [NC,F,L]

In which domain you are adding this? In phuketcrime or phuketgazette?

Try modifying .htaccess of phuketgazette.net to this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?https://phuketcrime.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?https://media.phuketgazette.net/ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ - [NC,F,L]
