Issue with .htaccess of WordPress install in sub directory

  • So setting up a wordpress install in a subdirectory and it is all intents and purposes working, the subfolder we set up is called v2 and all inner pages are working e.g. https://cunbette.preview.infomaniak.website/v2/candidates/
    However the the location of the homepage which would be https://cunbette.preview.infomaniak.website/v2/ directs back to the old site and to access the admin /wp-admin doesnt work however wp-admin/index.php does work.

    The existing sites .htaccess reads

DirectoryIndex /web/index.php

    If I removed /web/index.php the wordpress homepage works normally however the other site breaks.

    The WordPress .htaccess read – 

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /v2/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /v2/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

  • Hello,

    I’ve been looking at this and the only difference I am seeing between your .htaccess and the WordPress .htaccess is the v2, which is the subfolder.

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /v2/ <—-v2 subfolder
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /v2/index.php [L] <—-v2 subfolder
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    Here are two links that may guide you on the right track with subfolder set up:
