Question

I have installed wordpress in root directory. There is a file say test.html in same directory. I can not open this file http://www.mysiet.com/test.html with this url. When i open this file i get ‘No posts found’.(I have coded wordpress’s template on my own and this message is in index.php if no posts found). so my questions are:

1. How can i open an html file that is placed in root directory.

2. Can i create a new folder in root directory and install another wordpress site in that directory while root directory already have a wordpress installation.

3. Can i create a new folder in root directory (that already has wordpress installed in it) and place some files in that new directory and access them via my browser.

Thanks

Open your .htaccess in the root folder which once opened should look something like this

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress`

Then add this above all of that and place your directory in designated spot “replace
with subdirectory name” you can add as many subs as you like

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/REPLACE WITH SUB DIRECTORY NAME/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/REPLACE WITH SECOND SUBDIRECTORY NAME/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
</IfModule>`

Final Result should look like this if my subdirectory was named other

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/other/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
</IfModule>
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress`
