Site .htaccess Conflict with WordPress

    I have created my non-wordpress site online using a simple .htaccess setup for Easy URL’s in the public_html folder:

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?Page=$1 [L]

    Then in another folder labeled “Blog” I installed a WordPress Blog.

    Is there a way to get the WordPress installation to work in this situation? What .htacces RewriteRule can I use to make the system see /Blog as a file?

    I am not an htaccess expert, but what I’ve done in similar situations is backup the site htaccess file, then delete it, then install WordPress. Once I have WordPress up and running, I re-upload the site htaccess file, and I’ve never had conflicts at that point. Not sure if that will work in your situation or not though.

    The problem is you’re redirecting everything to index.php?Page=$1

    So domain.com/anythign goes to domain.com/index.php?Page=anything

    Which is great up until you want domain.com/BLOG to go to … domain.com/BLOG

    Try this:

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog/
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?Page=$1 [L]
