URL and subfolders

Hello

I set up multiple domains on a hosting server, each domain pointing to a subfolder via htaccess.

i.e.:
```
# for domain1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain1.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/domain1
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /domain1/$1 [L]

# for domain2
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain2.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/domain2
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /domain2/$1 [L]
```
I have installed WP in one of that subfolders, and now the url automatically is set to domain1/domain1/, duplicating the domain. How can I get rid of that?

WordPress does not create this htaccess, however if you have to use two wordpress installations with different folders you have to combine the rule. If this rule is created by a plugin or theme, make sure you ask them for support or you will have to set it manually each time you update.

Correct for multiple domain name
```
# for domain1 and domain2
# for root
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain(1|2).com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(domain1) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(domain2) [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?(domain(1|2))?(.*)$ /%2/$3 [L]
```
Internal redirect.
$1 your script is domain1 o domain2
/domain1/domain1
My script if folder not domain1 and not domain2 default is folders domain2, RewriteRule work with start domain1 or domain2 else all value.

Thank you @autotutorial ! What I have is exactly that, multiple websites under the same hosting server account. That’s why I need to redirect each domain to its subdirectory. The htaccess I`ve mencioned is at my root folder, so each requisition is redirected to its correspondent subdirectory. What is happening is that once I have installed WP in one of the subdirectories, when I open the website the url is set to domain/subdirectory and I don’t know why. I.e.:

I have the htaccess in root, I copy the WP files into the subdirectory and install it. Inside wp folder we have its htaccess as well. The url for my admin panel is right, mydomain/wp-admin. However, when I access the website, the url turns to mydomain/subdirectory.

If I don’t install wp and simply put any html, the subdirectory don’t appear in the url.

I hope you can understand this mess 🙂

sorry I wrote a wrong code, as per wordoress manual do a redirect based on whether your domain is identified if it is a different path that is not files and no directories redirect with all the content otherwise redirect to your index folder. php. In this scenario you must also include a redirect to the default domain if it does not match any rules.
```
# for domain1 and domain2
# for root
#Fix wordpress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain1.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/my_subdir1/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /my_subdir1/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain1.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ my_subdir1/index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain2.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/my_subdir2/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /my_subdir2/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain2.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ my_subdir2/index.php [L]
#Default Domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www.)?domain1.example.com$ [NC]
RwwriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www.)?domain2.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ http://domain1.example.com/my_subdir1/index.php [R,L]
</IfModule>
