Serve Wordpress from subfolder Post on Nov 17, 2010
I come across this a fair bit: I develop a new site on a client machine in a subfolder called /2010/ (for example) using Wordpress, and then when it comes time to deploy, I want to put the files on the main domain, but I don't want to move the files to the root web folder (or can't). This can easily be done with changing the DocumentRoot directive in Apache, but sometimes I don't have access to the Apache config, or whatever the server config may be.
The solution surfaced here:
# .htaccess primary domain to subfolder redirect
# Copy and paste the following code into the .htaccess file
# in the public_html folder of your hosting account
# make the changes to the file according to the instructions.
# Do not change this line.
RewriteEngine on
# Change yourdomain.com to be your primary domain.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?yourprimarydomain.com$
# Change 'subfolder' to be the folder you will use for your primary domain.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder/
# Don't change this line.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Change 'subfolder' to be the folder you will use for your primary domain.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder/$1
# Change yourdomain.com to be your primary domain again.
# Change 'subfolder' to be the folder you will use for your primary domain
# followed by / then the main file for your site, index.php, index.html, etc.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?yourmaindomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ subfolder/index.php [L]
This will transparently serve a Wordpress install in /subfolder/ at the yourprimarydomain.com domain.
Cheers,
