I have installed my WordPress on my website and I’m using permalinks, but I have a folder called x in the main root of my website I can’t access it now when I type http://mywebsite/x it redirects me to error 404 not found. That’s because WordPress is trying to fitch the story that called x in the database. How can I exclude that folder and its childern “folders” from wrodpress calculations?

    The .htaccess file in the root of your website’s directory contains a RewriteRule which redirects every incoming request to WordPress’s bootstrapper. It probably looks something like this:

    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?$1 [QSA,L]

    You should add two Conditions to this Rule. These conditions provide exceptions that make sure the Rule is only executed if there is no (!) file (-f) or no directory (-d) available that matches the requested URL:

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?$1 [QSA,L]

    That should do the trick.
