Access Wordpress from subdomain

    Hello Guys

    I'm using WordPress in the root of my domain.

    I have created various static html landing pages which I have uploaded to my Wordpress site. Something like: http://www.example.com/sub-folder/sub-folder/static.html

    It has worked just fine. I have been able to access those pages without a problem.

    Now I need to create static html pages using subdomains of the domain in question. but when I try to access them, the "page not found" message appears on the screen.

    Does anyone know how can I fix this?

    I feel this has something to do with the .htaccess file, but I'm not really sure.

    I have been able to do this with websites that have been entirely developed to be static.

    Wordpress is very restrictive regarding the domain that can access its content.

    I hope someone know how to fix this, thanks!

    I'm not sure there's enough to go on here, but I'll contribute what I can to your situation, and we can go from there. WordPress in your root folder shouldn't mess up any subdomain folders. However, if you're trying to run WordPress in the subdomain, you'll need to install WordPress in your subdomain folder, just like you installed it in the root.

    Otherwise, the first thing I'd do is verify that you uploaded the html pages you want displayed to the proper subdomain folder. If that's the case, I would check that your url is correct. ie: subdomain.domain.com/static.html

    Hi, magicinthedesert, I forgot about this thread, I just turned off the mod Rewrite engine using an .htaccess file in the in the folder being used for the subdomain.

    Thanks anyway, and bye!
