WordPress is TAKING OVER THE PLACE!!!

  • Good, I got your attention.

    WordPress lives in my root htdocs directory. I also have a number of files and directories inside that directory that I want to have visible.

    Problem is, no matter what URL I type, WordPress grabs it and shows me the front page. If it’s not a WordPress-formatted URL, I can’t get there.

    I looked in .htacess, and found:

    [code]
    # BEGIN WordPress
    #<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php
    #</IfModule>
    [/code]

    That would have led me to believe that if it’s not a file (!-f) and not a directory (!-d), then it gets rewritten to index.php. But I’m having URLs that absolutely go to files and directories get rewritten too.

    It gets weirder. I have encountered this behavior in the past, but in recent memory, directories and files outside WordPress have been working. It appears that when I just published a new WordPress “page”, they stopped working.

    What’s the deal here?

    Okay, I’ve figured out a bit more about this.

    If I go into Options > Permalinks and hit the “Update Permalink Structure” link, all my plain, non-WP URLs work fine for a while. Then, after a while, they don’t anymore. I don’t have any idea of what action causes them to stop working.
