   Hi everyone, I'm having a problem accessing the index.php of another subsite within my domain.

   Right now, my WordPress installation is set up so that the actual files reside in another folder. Everything about the blog is working fine, but it's making a subsite in my domain get recognized as a page, so navigating to that subsite's subfolders (such as its admin panel) isn't working.

   To illustrate this better, an example:

   domain.com <- what visitors see
   domain.com/wp <- where the WordPress files actually are
   domain.com/forums <- a forum, still works properly
   domain.com/forums/admin/index.php <- not accessible anymore, it reverts back to the blog's 404 page

   Any help on this? Anyone else who's experienced the same problem? I'm guessing it has something to do with the .htaccess file, but I'm not an expert on that.

   domain.com/forums/admin/ <--- is there an .htaccess in that dir?

   domain.com/forums/ <--- is there an .htaccess in that dir?

   you dont say, and you ought to be able to provide that info.

   Thanks for pointing that out, it led to a temporary workaround.

   The /admin folder under /forums did indeed contain an .htaccess file, but only because I password protected it (through cPanel). I removed the protection and I can access the former again now.

   But ideally I'd still want to have the /admin folder locked by a password. Is there any way of doing this while keeping it accessible?
