.HTACCESS to remove directory in address but keep existing PHP re-writes?

Hi everyone,

I have the following .HTACCESS which is used for my PHP files. However I want to keep all the following information (see second .HTACCESS) but change the address of my wordpress files from https://www.mysite.com/wordpress to https://www.mysite.com/

If I follow the tutorial and add the following to my .HTACCESS it works…

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

# END WordPress

… However none of my other rewrites work… any ideas? My original .HTACCESS file is below;

RewriteEngine on

# defeat robot exploits
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} https:// [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} https://
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F]

rewritecond %{http_host} ^mysite.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ https://www.mysite.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

# disable directory browsing
Options All -Indexes

RewriteRule ^furniture(.*).html$ furnituredisplay.php?page=furniture/furniture$1&type=htm [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^android(.*).html$ androiddisplay.php?page=android/android$1&type=htm [L,NC]
#php_flag register_globals on
#php_flag display_errors off

cheers,
Andrew
