Restrict Access From Certain Refferer

  • Hello,

    What I’m trying to do is to create a dummy page which has a link to /wp-admin/ and to set up .htacess to prohibit all accesses execpt with the referrer from the dummy page.

    This is what I got so far. I placed this .htaccess under /wp-admin

    ## SITE REFERRER BANNING
RewriteEngine on
# Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !https://[samplesite]/dummy.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !https://[samplesite]/wp-login.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !https://[samplesite]/wp-admin/* [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

    This almost works. But when a visitor directly opens https://[samplesite]/wp-login.php, it just let it open.　So this isn’t perfect. Also I’d like to lead visitors to a 404 page instead of a forbidden message. Is that possible?

    If anybody has a good way of doing this, please let me know. Thanks.
