I am using this code that blocks a URL with the word foo

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^foo - [F]

It works fine, but, how do I make it work with the existing .htaccess code from WP which is below?

# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress

It's just a case of putting that rule before the WordPress code block.

For example:

# Block all URLs that start with "/foo" RewriteRule ^foo - [F] # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress

It is before the WP block, but what was lacking was ErrorDocument 403 default.
