 * I have a website where if I go to something like /cpanel it redirects me to a
   server side site… but… after wordpress install I can no longer do that… it takes
   me to wordpresses 404 page instead? any way I can change that? There is no custom
   404 page pointed in my htaccess..
    thanks

 * maybe this has to deal with how WP handles sub directories?

 * WordPress takes over anything that is not a real directory or file and `/cpanel/`
   is not — it’s a fake directory.
 * Does it redirect you somewhere or is the URL in your address bar `yoursite.com/
   cpanel/`? If it does redirect, then just add this to your `.htaccess` file, ABOVE
   the WordPress rules:
 * `Redirect /cpanel/ http://new.url.com/whatever/`

 * I’m having the same problem. Since my wordpress index.php is in the root folder
   ALL sub folders that are password protected under my new host won’t allow the‘
   password’ box to appear. It deafults to 404 wordpress error, any htaccess command
   for that? tx
