So to me to this sounded like a simple a request. i have a main site:
www.mainsite.com
A wordpress install that contains a couple new sections for the site in a subdir:
www.mainsite.com/wp
The need is to remove the wordpress directory name from certain URLs/wordpress pages.
so:
www.mainsite.com/wp/press
needs to be:
www.mainsite.com/press
I’m quite the Apache noob my rewrite rules keep giving errors in the browser whether its 404 or redirect loop errors.
so under my document root in http.conf i have:
RewriteRule ^press/?$ mysite.com/wp/press-room
I know this is probably the completely wrong approach for a rule , but as I said I’m not an Apache guy any help would be GREATLY appreciated just to steer my mind in the right direction.
Add RewriteBase /press/ or RewriteBase /wp/press/ on your .htaccess.
You dont need to update the RewriteRules.
So I finally got this working, it was just a matter formatting redirect URL so wordpress likes it.
So in my root htaccess file : for this url mysite.com/careers
RewriteRule ^careers/?$ wp/index.php?pagename=careers [L]
And voila and it started working just fine.
