WordPress htaccess overrides rewrite rule

    Hi All,

    I’m having a problem with rewriting urls with wordpress.

    I have my blog in a subdomain like: blog.domain.com
    Whenever someone types domain.com/blog I want them to be redirected to blog.domain.com

    I’m using the following in htaccess:
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$
    RewriteRule ^blog(.*)$ http://blog.domain.com [R=301,L]

    This code works if wordpress’ default htaccess is removed, which is:
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    If I keep this code however, url domain.com/blog doesn’t get redirected, and I get a 404 page error.
    But of course, removing the wordpress default htaccess breaks wordpress down.

    Anyone has any solution to make it work?
