Folder Separate from WordPress

    I have WordPress installed in the main domain (example.com) and I would like to place a shopping cart in the products folder (example.com/products). I’ve uploaded everything, but WordPress won’t allow me to navigate to that folder. Is there any way to get there? Currently, it tells me that page doesn’t exist.

  • If you navigate to just the directory URL, it will look for an index page (index.html, etc.) in that directory. Instead, navigate directly to the file you were looking for.

    It won’t let me navigate to the file either. The page I need to go to is “example.com/products/index.php”. I can go to other files (I tried a .txt file), but it appears that I cannot go to any php files.

    I did some further experimenting by creating another folder. It allows me to go to php files. Could the problem be related to the fact that at one time I created a page in WordPress that had the slug ‘products’? If so, does anyone know how to fix that?

    One last try. I looked at the database and didn’t see anything in there that mentioned a products page. I really need to figure this out.

    Finally figured it out. Wasn’t actually a WordPress problem. It was a problem with the other program I was installing. It wanted the products directory to be CHMOD to 777. If I did that, it wouldn’t work. If I left it at 755, it works.
