So, I have to create a subdirectory… how do I do that? I’m sorry, I tried to do this once before and had some MAJOR problems, so I want to make sure I do this right the FIRST time 🙂

I’m not sure what you mean.. I’m a bit new to all of this. Right now, I have an index.html file and an index.htm file in the root folder. They are NOT wordpress. WordPress, pages and everything is installed in the nWP subfolder. Originally, I wanted to set it up so that when they go to mydomain.com, they get the wordpress site, but in trying to do that, I messed up the entire thing!

I guess what I’m asking is.. if my files and everything that I want for this website is installed in a subfolder named nWP, should my htaccess file look like this:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

OR should I change the code to look like this: (I moved the changed lines over so you could tell which ones I changed)

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
---------------------------RewriteBase /nWP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
---------------------------RewriteRule . /wWP/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Okay, I have another question … I don’t know much about htaccess files, but my subfolder is nWP. Is this code indicating that my wordpress files are located in a subfolder named wordpress?
