== Description ==

Save bandwidth by easily blocking links to video, audio, and other files from unapproved 3rd-party sites.

= Features =
* Choose from a list of common file extensions and include your own
* Allow linking from multiple authorized websites
* Selectively control direct linking
* Generate the rules for your `.htaccess` file with minimal effort

This plugin modifies the site's .htaccess file and requires mod_rewrite or compatible modules like [ISAPI_rewrite for IIS](http://www.helicontech.com/isapi_rewrite/).

= Notes =
This plugin was inspired by the [Hotlink Protection](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-automatic-image-hotlink-protection/) plugin. There was a need for a more flexible implementation and so this plugin was created.

== Installation ==

For most, the built-in plugin installation system for WordPress will be all you need.
Alternately, uploading the zip file to the installer should also work. For those who prefer manual installation:

1. Unzip `configurable-hotlink-protection.zip` and upload the contents into the `/wp-content/plugins` directory
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
1. Configure options under `Settings -> Hotlink Protection`
