Installed in sub directory with Simple Script but blog not showing correctly

  • When I set up my WordPress site using simple script, I placed it in a folder hereafter named https://www.jamaicastores.com/jamaicanlife. The root of my store has my main ecommerce site. After install I noted that WordPress does not display properly and the layout and formatting are non-existent.

    The problem I encountered is that with permalink structure changed, when I combine the WordPress .htaccess rewrite into my cubecart .htacess file which is at the root, my cubecart main store “jamaicastores.com” shows the main page, but clicking on any product or category redirects to the WordPress site as determined by the rewrite as shown below

    # BEGIN WordPress

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /jamaicanlife/
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /jamaicanlife/index.php [L]

    Without the permalink and the need for a .htaccess rewrite, my site does not show properly. Any ideas what went wrong?

  • If you installed wordpress in a folder then you should have .htaccess file in folder for wordpress and you should have .htaccess for your root website separate.

    thanks for the info, but it still does not work. The root .htaccess seems to be overriding the /subfolder .htacess file, but I do not know how to integrate them. When I try to put the info from the WordPress .htaccess file into my .htacess file at the root, then it redirects my main store to my blog. Any ideas?

    I am out of ideas on what to do. Simple edits yes, major rewrites, not without help and guidance. BTW, phpBB works fine, but non blog application like WordPress or BuddyPress erc.
