Ah, okay, did not know that, since I currently have no comments and I am the only user.

Thanks, davidhouse! ??

Hi Nurice,

If one of the problems you’re encountering is broken images, you probably need to update Hotlink Protection by adding https://example.com/directory and https://directory.example.com to the Enabled list. (From cPanel, click the Hotlink Protection icon.)

I have a similar setup to you — I have my main domain https://www.maindomain.com, and my WP blog as a subdomain at sub.maindomain.com, which is actually an addon domain https://www.domain2.com.

In Hotlink Protection, I’ve added https://www.maindomain.com, sub.maindomain.com, https://www.maindomain.com/sub, and https://www.domain2.com to the Enabled list.

On the WP General Options page, I use https://www.domain2.com for both the WordPress address and the Blog address and it works fine.

Probably more information than you needed, but if you’re encountering the broken images problem, it might save your sanity. ??

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I have been trying to figure out this problem ALL DAY, and finally decided to Google ‘wordpress “addon domain”‘ and found your post.

Then I wasn’t sure where the “Urls to Allow Access” section was, but once I Googled that, I saw it was in my CPanel, and clicked the HotLink Protection icon. Once I added “mydomain.com” and “www.mydomain.com” to the “Urls to Allow Access” list, the problem was solved. Woo-hoo!
