Upgrade of WordPress overrides HTML site

  • I have had a WordPress site running in parallel with an html site for several months as I prepared for launch. A couple of days ago, I upgraded the WordPress site to 3.5. I verified that the html site was still live then logged off and went on to another project. Yesterday I went back to the site to check on a page of the html site and found the WordPress site showing. I immediately renamed the index.php file and the html site was restored.

    Why did this happen? Can I no longer have a WordPress installation running in parallel with an html site?

    Note: I now see that the .htaccess file had the following code added to it:
    IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule

    Is this part of the WordPress 3.5 upgrade?

    No – it’s part of using a custom permalink structure. See Using_Permalinks.
