.htaccess for a site with WP blog in subfolder

    Hello,
    I have a site with few static pages and a blog. The blog is WordPress based and it is installed in subfolder. After using caching plugin I discovered .htaccess file in blog subfolder - it is full with caching related instructions. I already have an .htaccess file in the HTML root, this one has some redirects, blocking spam bots, cache expiration instructions, etc.

    Now I am confused whether I should merge these 2 .htaccess files into one and place it in HTML root... Basically my question is:
    If I have .htaccess file in the HTML root, will .htaccess file in the blog folder ever be used/loaded? In other words, I am afraid that everything that caching plugin updated in .htaccess file to enable cache will never be read, and as a result, the caching will not work.

    Please help to clarify this.

    the htaccess in your blog folder will be loaded when you navigate to the blog directory of your site. likely the htaccess files will have code specific to the directory they're in. just leave them how they are.

    I am not sure... Out of curiosity I copied .htaccess from blog folder into the root folder and noticed an improvement in loading time for blog pages.
