Using htaccess deny causes error with PHP getimagesize

Question

I have the following in my htaccess file to prevent access to a website outside of our network:

<Limit GET POST PUT>
 order deny,allow
 deny from all
 allow from xx.xxx.xxx.xx
</Limit>

But this causes the following error:

Warning: getimagesize(http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/nalogo.png) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in /html/wp-content/themes/test/framework/styles.php on line 60

Any ideas on how I can fix this? This works if I disable that htaccess deny.

Answer 1

Try adding localhost in the allow list:

<Limit GET POST PUT>
 order deny,allow
 deny from all
 allow from xx.xxx.xxx.xx
 allow from 127.0.0.1
</Limit>
