Can’t access http auth folders after installing wordpress

    Our client requested a blog install on a domain where they already had 2 existing folders for members using HTTP Authentication.

    After installing WP all you get now when trying to access those two folders is a 404 not found.

    The .htaccess file is in place with the -f & -d, but I’m guessing that HTTP auth doesn’t get evoked and thus gets seen as a -d and WP tries to find the permalink, fails and shows the 404.

    Is it possible to setup a condition to have WP ignore the two existing http auth folders?

    I’ve tried adding:

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !platinum/(.*)\.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.
