# WordPress in Subfolder

 * Hello,
 * So I have WordPress installed in a subfolder /wp/, because we had Joomla in the
   root folder as the main website. I deleted Joomla, and decided to have WordPress
   as the main site while leaving WordPress in it’s subfolder. ( I think that’s 
   a more clean set up anyways).
    I followed this [instructions](https://wordpress.org/support/article/giving-wordpress-its-own-directory/#method-ii-with-url-change).
 * It was working fine, and today all pages decided to give me a 404 error. The 
   only thing that changed today was that I installed Moodle. But that was installed
   in a completely different folder. However, it is a subdomain. But I’m not sure
   if that’s the issue.
 * I also tried updating permalinks.
 * htaccess in the root folder is like this:
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine
   On RewriteBase /wp/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /wp/index.php [L] </IfModule
   >
 * And htaccess in the subfolder didn’t have that.
 * Any help is appreciated.

    What is the moodle website URL?

 * Unfortunately we want to keep the website private.
    But if you have some ideas,
   I can see what’s wrong.
