    Hello,
    I have a custom page that is located on the same url adress as another script.
    For example my page is mysite.com/email-sender this is wordpress sales page for the services but on the same root on the hosting /email-sender there is another CMS. I would like to open the wordpress page but cant change the other script path.
    I would be very happy if anyone help me:)
    Ttanks

    You need to change one of the URL’s to something different. If you can’t change the the other CMS’s URL, then you will have to change the WordPress URL to something different.

    The basic idea behind this is that WordPress will normally take over any “Not Found” pages and try to deal with them itself, so if you have URLl already set up on the server, WordPress won’t see it because it will be found by the server software before WordPress is even invoked.

    Yep you are right but for some reasons I need to make my wordpress page to take over the CMS. And always load it instead the other CMS. I am not able to change any URLS. Is that possible.

    You could use an .htaccess rewrite rule to rewrite the CMS request to an alternative WP format like /mywpblog/index.php?p=123. This means the CMS will never see the request and instead the server will serve the WP post with an ID of 123.
