I have a PHP application that was working perfectly in a subdirectory of my site. Then I moved WordPress into the root directory, so my app is basically in a subdirectory of WP. Once I figured out some session file problems, I had it mostly working except for this bit. The app has its own htaccess file, and I’m sure that’s the problem. I use mod_rewrite for a lot of things in the app. The problem occurs with these rules in the app’s .htaccess…
RewriteRule ^simple([/]*\S)?$ view_simple.php$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^simple/(\S)?$ view_simple.php$1 [L]
Going to www.example.com/appfolder/simple works fine, but when I try going to www.example.com/appfolder/simple/?variable=value I get a WordPress 404 error, rather than view_simple.php utilizing variable=value like it should
Like I said, it worked before I put WordPress in the root directory. Nothing in the appfolder changed.
Here’s the pertinent part of the directory structure…
example.com
—.htaccess
—wp-admin
—wp-content
—wp-includes
—appfolder
------.htaccess
------view_simple.php
Any ideas on why this would happen? Is this the right place to post this question? An help is appreciated, as this is currently on a production website.
Thanks in advance!
