   Hi

   I am using this code to try and redirect all visitors to a maintenance page but it doesn't display any images.

   <Limit GET POST PUT>
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   allow from 123.456.789
   allow from 123.456.789
   </LIMIT>
   ErrorDocument 403 /custom-message.html
   <Files custom-message.html>
   order allow,deny
   allow from all
   </Files>

   How can I modify the code to allow it to display the images on the maintenance page?

   Thanks

   You should try using something like this instead.

   Options +FollowSymlinks
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^123\.45\.67\.89
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/custom-message\.html$
   RewriteRule \.html$ /alternate_page.html [R=302,L]

   You may still need to modify it to fit your specific needs.

   Thanks Jonathan. I ended up using a plugin.

   I'd still be interested in getting it to work via htaccess so I'll give this a try.

   If the previous rules don't help you could try this which is a bit simpler and uses %{REMOTE_ADDR} instead of %{REMOTE_HOST}. It also assumes that you are using/referencing an image.

   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^(123\.45\.67\.89|213\.45\.67\.89)
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/custom-message\.html$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/custom-message\.png$
   RewriteRule .* /custom-message\.html [R=307,L]
