WP & htaccess insanity

    I need some help from the WordPress installation gurus out there.

    I’ve just installed WordPress to the root directory of my hosting site, under public_html.
    The gotcha is that they have a spanish version of their site in a ‘es/’ directory that is not part of WordPress but still in public_html.

    For some reason, WordPress will always redirect to the homepage when trying to access ‘es/’. I’ve tried every trick on every blog without success. The big kicker is that other non-WP directories will work. For instance, I’ve moved the old site to a another directory, which still works, but again, ‘es/’ fails.

    Anyone have the answer in their back pocket?

    URLs:
    http://americancuttingedge.com
    http://americancuttingedge.com/es (redirects to home)
    http://americancuttingedge.com/old-site (the old site)
    http://americancuttingedge.com/old-site/es (redirects to home. Suspicious!)

    Have you contacted your hosting provider and discussed the issue with them?

    I have not. Based on past experience, I would not expect much help (iPower), but it is worth a try!

    Looks like it’s working now, pretty much the way you want it to. And the suspicious bit about old-site/es doesn’t need to be. This behavior might be the result of what’s in your htaccess.

    Thanks for checking, Paul.

    In the end, I had somehow removed my index.html file from my es/ directory. So adding it back in and removing my .htaccess file cleared up my woes.

    Glad you got it fixed 🙂
