    Hello

    I need a little help here.
    I currently have 2 things going on on my website.
    I have a domain name with a blog as the home page. There is a mod rewrite going on for the archive format of www.domain.com/08/03/my-post

    I also have a diretory located at www.domain.com/directory which also has a mod rewrite on for SEO friendly categories.

    Im getting cross collision with my htaccess and its not functioning 100%. when i click on my directory categories, i get sent to my blog 404 page... and im not sure how to keep the 2 seperate.

    Im thinkin on my blog htaccess i need to put in a line to have it not mod rewrite a specific subdir? not sure here. thanks for the help.

    -Tim

    do you think you could join the two .htaccess?

    I could try, but im not sure if i am familiar enough to do so.

    Here is htaccess for my blog.

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

    # END WordPress




    and here is htaccess for my directory

    ...

    well wait a second now, i dont even see one for my directory but there has to be one.. im a little confused 0.o

    Odds are, when you upload one, and then reload the directory or close and open ftp, you can't see it through ftp. If the directory one doesn't have

    RewriteBase /directory/

    add that.

    Just put the rewrite for your directory before the rewrite for your wp blog.
