Create subfolder, not affected by WordPress

    Hello.

    I have a WordPress site installed in the root. I have added an online store to this site, independent of WordPress, installed in a subfolder called /shop. Inside /shop is an .htaccess file and an index.php, which together parse the URL to figure out which category to show products from, eg:

    http://www.mysite.com/shop/clothes
    http://www.mysite.com/shop/shoes
    http://www.mysite.com/shop/hats

    These URLs display just fine, but a 404 is returned in the header causing problems with Google. In my /shop/index.php file I tried manually outputting the header with status 200, but it didn’t fix the problem. When I look at the headers it looks like WordPress is trying to render the page first, which fails (i.e. /.htaccess is firing and doing whatever it wants to with /shop/clothes). I think that because of the “X-Pingback” line.

    Here is the request header:

    GET /shop/clothes/ HTTP/1.1

    Any suggestions how I can get my subfolder to not be rendered by WordPress first? I cannot create subfolders and index.php for each of “clothes”, “shoes”, “hats” as it is dynamically driven by a database. Thanks,

    Jamie

    I’ve found the problem, I was stuck on .htaccess but it was not the issue.

    To test whether WordPress indeed wass causing it I renamed /.htaccess to /.htaccesxxx. On /shop/index.php the 404 header was still coming up meaning the problem was in my code. At the top of my file I had these two lines, to include the WordPress template’s header HTML:

    require __DIR__ . '/../wp-blog-header.php';
get_header();

    Tracing through get_header() I could see it was throwing the 404. I had to remove these 2 lines and find another way to display the header.

    Hope this helps someone down the road.
