Do you want it to keep the /en URL?
Well yeah. In the end all I’m using is the /en and /ru URL’s, so i wanted the the root domain to point automatically at /en.
Basically I want to do what this post is talking about
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/301-redirect-to-root-domain-to-subfolder-multisite?replies=3
i want christfan.com to autmatically redirect to christfan.com/en when people type in the URL.
however i’m not entirely sure how to keep redirect the main url to the subfolder while keeping only some of the wp- folders intact.
also this is my .htaccess right now. the last bit for the redirect is from trying to go through my cpanel, and i found the wp- folder stuff online. but it still doesn’t seem to be working
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# Whitelist directories and files needed by WordPress
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/wp-.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/wp-.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/wp-.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^christfan\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.christfan\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/christfan\.com\/en" [R=301,L]
Okay. Easiest way?
Keep christfan.com as a site in your network. Give it a static home page that redirects. Done.
