    After some discussion, we decided to create a new installation of WP on a new sub-domain and create a forward. Thanks Jackie, I have recorded your procedures for future use in case it comes up again.

    Jackie,

    Thanks for the reply. Just to recap your method:

    1. Install WordPress in a separate folder, i.e., mydomain.com/wordpress, design it the way I want, import the content from the other site, including uploads, etc.

    2. Change your site urls in the General settings of your dashboard such that your WordPress address is yoursite.com/wordpress, but the site address is simply yoursite.com.

    3. Change the last line of your index.php in the root to read:
    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php' );

    4. Change your root .htaccess file to read:
    RewriteBase /wordpress
    (you’ve just made that site in the WordPress folder into your .com site.)

    I hope I understand this correctly. I’m going to look into a parallel install as you suggest. Thanks again!

    I figured it out. Using the wrong placeholder. Should have used #_EVENTTAGS. It is now working.
