I have WordPress 3.3.1 installed in a sub directory on my site just to use as a staging test site. It seems the root sites .htaccess is creating problems for WordPress wp-admin page. I’ve set the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) to point correctly to the sub directory url.

If I haven’t got any .htaccess inside my subdirectory (wp root) = wp admin (login page) works.

If I add a .htaccess like below, the page works and if you are logged in to wp-admin it sort of works BUT every time you try to save something = blank page,
if you aren’t logged in and try to login = blank page.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subcataloged/cliens-wp/

RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Summary:

[.htaccess in wp root (www.domain.com/sub/cat/)] == Site (except wp-admin) works as expected.

[No htaccess] == Site CSS, images, js is rewritten incorrectly to the root folders, Wp-admin works fine.

How can I solve this? Is there a .htaccess for WP 3.3.1 I can use?

This is my .htaccess for my OTHER WEB ROOT site (not WP):

Header unset Pragma
FileETag None
Header unset ETag

# cache images/pdf/css/js docs for 10 days = 864000, 31536000 = 1 year
<FilesMatch ".(ico|pdf|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css)$">
  Header set Cache-Control "max-age=31536000, public, must-revalidate"
  #Header unset Last-Modified
</FilesMatch>

# cache html/htm/xml/txt diles for 2 days
<FilesMatch ".(html|htm|xml|txt|xsl)$">
  Header set Cache-Control "max-age=7200, must-revalidate"
</FilesMatch>
