I have a simple HTML microsite, which I want to put inside my wordpress website. For example: WordPress website is: abc.com
I want to put my microsite inside this wordpress site. So URL becomes:
abc.com/microsite/
But, wordpress treats any url as its own. How can put “abc.com/microsite/” urls to WordPress Ignore list. So that any pages inside microsite folder executes independently.
just put you folder ‘microsite’ in root
(Where you find wp-admin,wp-content and wp-include folder).and
you are able to access the folder
“abc.com/microsite/ by this url
If you are still having issues with accessing the subfolder, try renaming the .htaccess to .htaccess-bak in order for WordPress to regenerate the file again. Understand that your website might temporarily go down.
I’ve found this solution to help in some cases, but I don’t know exactly why, ergo I am not sure it will work. And if you feel uncomfortable editing the .htaccess file I suggest you learn more about it (as should I). It is a very powerful file and WordPress uses it a good deal.
P.S. The file is located in the same folder, WordPress’ root folder where you find /wp-admin/, /wp-content/, etc. It is hidden by some hosting providers, but I’ve always been able to find them through FTP with the hosting companies I’ve used before.
