    Hi there,

    WP has done a good afford on security, but I just get confused by the default .htaccess rules.

    I have a WP installed in the root directory (e.g. https://mysite.com/), I want to exclude a sub-directory (e.g. /mydir) and the file inside (e.g. /mydir/myfile.php) from re-write rule for direct access.

    I have changed file permission of myfile.php to 775.

    I hope that I can directly execute myfile.php by below url.
    https://mysite.com/mydir/myfile.php

    However, I got redirect to 404.

    I know it is a .htaccess issues, so I added below code in my .htaccess in root folder:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/mydir/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    May anyone has done it before? Any comments welcome. Thank you.

  • @marcusasiabc, Put the below line on the top of your .htaccess

    ErrorDocument 401 default

    Thanks for update, I have made the update in .htaccess accordingly but it seems that it made nothing changed. May I have your extra support?

    @marcusasiabc, Then try to replace your .htaccess with this code (remove everything else)

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/yoursubdirectoryname1/(.*)$
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
</IfModule>

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    * Replace yoursubdirectoryname1 with the appropriate value.
