Hi, Using the a .htaccess file within the wp-content folder to stop the public browsing the folder but this also affects the search icon that i have placed on the top menu (no longer displaying just a square box)

Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
 Allow from all

Any ideas how i can resolve this?

    Hi Madnutter

    Please try altering your .htaccess file to read

    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    <Files ~ ".(xml|css|jpe?g|png|gif|js|eot|woff|otf|ttf|svg)$">
    Allow from all
    </Files>

    Let us know how you get on
