How I fixed images not showing issue on my Feed ?

This post regarding  image not showing on UTO blog feed issue .Thanks to  huzaifa ,he recently reported  this problem on my blog feed.I soon tried to fix this issue.Initially I thought some issue with the cache plugin and my Hosting provider but later I found and fixed the issue.I will show you how we fixed the Image not showing issue on my Blog feed.You can see in the below pic  my feed not showing images.

Hotlinking

The issue raised because I added Hot linking Prevention on my blog to prevent bandwidth  theft due to this feed burner and other feed readers  unable access any images on my web server.

I prevented Hot linking of images in the .HTACCESS file of my web server .You can also read  how to protect your website images from Hot linking article on my blog.The common hot linking prevention code does not allowed Feed Burner and other feed delivery services to access any images on our web server.Now I realized we forget to give permission to Feed burner in .HTACCESS file.

Add below code in to your .HTACCESS file just before  RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ – [F,NC] code.

[php] # Allow Feedburner Access
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?feedburner.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?feeds.feedburner.com/.*$ [NC]
[/php]

Any way once again thanks to huzaifa to report the issue.If you are facing similar issue may be this post  will be helpful for you.
