   Not even sure how to describe this problem, but I will try.

   I upgrade to 2.7 and everything works fine.

   BACKGROUND: The wordpress install is in the rootdirectory. (ie http://www.example.com, not http://www.example.com/blog). Also within that root directory is a secure directory (www.example.com/secure) which has some files that edits/pulls data from a different MySQL database (not the wordpress database --- it displays some tables of info on certain pages).

   Going to http://www.example.com/secure and using the directory password has always worked to get to these forms which we had written by another person.

   PROBLEM: Now that I have upgraded the WordPress install to 2.7, when I log into the secure directory the form loads fine. However, when I enter any criteria that pulls from the different MySQL database to return a table, it redirects me to the homepage.

   QUESTION: Is there something new about the way that WordPress 2.7 does the .htaccess rules that would impact this directory? Anything I can do to tell WordPress to just ignore that directory completely?

   This is pretty typical.

   Do you have an .htaccess file in your secure directory?

   same problem here and I need to fix it asap.

   Standard htaccess commands disallow access to sub folders.

   domain.com/project_name - works fine
   domain.com/folder/ - 404 error even thought I know 100% that it exists.

   htaccess:
   

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

   Currently I don't have htaccess in the subfolder.
