Hi,

I am trying to secure my WordPress installation with this .htaccess file

order deny,allow
deny from all
<files ~ ".(xml|css|jpe?g|png|gif|js|svg)$">
allow from all
</files>

But it seems like the icons are being blocked as well. What kind of file type do I need to allow to make it work?

Hi There,

Thank you for writing in! Maybe that is because of the Cross Origin Resource Policy. See http://enable-cors.org/ for the solution.

Hope it helps, Cheers!

Hi,

Here is the solution to the problem I have.

order deny,allow
deny from all
<files ~ ".(xml|css|jpe?g|png|gif|js|ico|ttf|otf|eot|woff)$">
allow from all
</files>

To confirm for others, this .htaccess file is only used in your /wp-content to limit which files are accessible to others. From others on the internet, this increases the security of your wordpress install.
