I think I narrowed down the issue.
In my wordpress directory, I have the htaccess with that new line of code, which allows me to get to the directory that I want to protect that is outside of the wordpress directory. However, the Root directory of the website has another htaccess file that is basically a duplicate of the wordpress file. But when I try to modify that one as well, my site crashes.

This is what I currently have in my htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?wisconservation\.org/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !hotlink\.(gif|png|jpg|doc|xls|pdf|html|htm|xlsx|docx|mp4|mov) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^.*(mp3|m4a|jpeg|jpg|gif|png|bmp|pdf|doc|docx|ppt|pptx|)$
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|png|jpg|doc|xls|pdf|html|htm|xlsx|docx|mp4|mov)$ http://www.wisconservation.org/boardportal [R=301,L]

It is the cookie line I am trying to figure out. I know the cookie being made is wp-postpass_ but there are wildcard characters attached to it.
