    Because of the modrewrite in root (for permalinks) .htaccess file, some page urls in root and some non-wordpress folders are displaying 404 error.

    Any solution to this?

    Any help? I searched the internet. But nothing is working. Any rewrite rule to exclude some root urls and non-wp folders?

    Hi,

    Check with these options:

    – Assign 755 recursive permissions to wp-content folder.
    – Set your desired permalink from wordpress admin area
    – add this code in htaccess:

    # BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    I can not access pages like:

    mysite.com/subscribe.html (it is non-wp page)
    mysite.com/folder/index.html (non-wp folder)

    When I access these pages, getting 404 error because or permalink modrewrite in root .htaccess.

    So above code – how it works?
