Question

I’m wanting to upload a standard php file to the root of my website which also has WordPress installed. I think there is something with the .htaccess file that’s not letting me access a file even if it exists but instead passing every call through to WordPress’s index.php file which in turn throws me to a WordPress ‘page can’t be found’.

I’ve looked through similar questions on here with no avail.

What I’m thinking is there is something funky going on, or I need to modify my .htaccess from the standard one that ships with WordPress or ??

Any help is appreciated!!

Thanks in advance,
Mark

If your file is called foo.php, add this line to your .htaccess file, directly below RewriteEngine on:

RewriteRule ^foo.php$ - [L]
