This is a followup to another question I asked earlier (Earlier redirect question). My root .htaccess has several rules in this format:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/leadership/detail/$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} q=([0-9]+)$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1?p=%1 [L,R=301]

But when I tried to add this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog/detail/$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} q=([0-9]+)$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1?p=%1 [L,R=301]

It didn’t work. /blog/ is a WordPress install and I’m thinking in it’s conflicting with the .htaccess file that’s in /blog/ that has the following:

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

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

# END WordPress

Where can I insert (or edit) code snippet #2 in the /blog/.htaccess file to make it work properly?

    Have your combined .htaccess like this:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog/detail/$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} q=([0-9]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/$1?p=%1 [L,R=301]

RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^p= [NC]
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
