    I have been trying to get the following code to work with no success:

    # anti-hotlinking
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mysite.com/.*$ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mysite.com/.*$ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !google\. [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !yahoo\. [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !search\?q=cache [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !search\/cache [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !cache [NC]

    RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|JPG)$ http://www.mysite.com/images/hotlinked-image.jpg [R,NC]

    Should I add this to my root .htaccess file, and if so can I add it just like this at the end after this code:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    Or do I have to add the <ifmodule mod rewrite.c> around the hotlinking code? or add # BEGIN or # END

    also, there are .htccess in wp-content and wp-admin. Should the code go to any of these other places?
