Thank you so much! Have you been able to get this to work with Wordpress Permalinks? Evidently there are some flags within WP that cause this not to work if the setting within Permalinks is anything other than Default (even with replacing Wordpress's htaccess details).

I was getting really frustrated over why my rules were being ignored. Wordpress should include a documentation page on this (or make it easier to find).

I have photoblog software (Pixelpost) installed in my root, so my /index is allready occupied My WP is installed in mysite/blog/ Now I want the WP about page to be re-written to: mysite/about/ I tried setting up an .htaccess file in the root with: RewriteRule ^about(.*)$ blog/?page_id=203$1 [L,NC] This works, but pulls to: mysite/blog/about/ because interfears with WordPress? .htaccess (I use the pretty permalinks) I tried adding the rewrite rule outside the # BEGIN WordPress - # END WordPress block but no luck. Looking at your URI's you clearly know how to do this, rewrite Wordpress content outside the install dir. I tried your Request_URI rewrites, but keep on failing. Your .htaccess example code, where did you place this? In the root? Above or under # WordPress # rewrite rules? Can you help me? My code in mysite/blog/.htaccess looks like this: # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /blog/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L] # END WordPress Hi!
