The easiest thing to do would be to move WordPress from your root directory to a subdirectory.

You don’t want the .htaccess code generated by WordPress to interfere with all files and folders under your root directory, so WordPress in it’s own directory makes the most sense.

How about:

<div style="overflow: auto; height: 100px;">
Categories list here
</div>

I shall try the EzStatic plugin later.

After some Googling, it seems as if I’m not the only one with this issue: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/57249?replies=6

“Also, don’t bother rewriting the rules, since by default, you can do https://url/content/contact and have it work”

This does not work when permalinks are enabled in wordpress. Which is the problem I’m trying to solve. It looks as if user created mod rewrite rules are ignored when the wordpress permalinks/rules are turned on.

Inside my sidebar.php file I have:

<?php
$path = "./";
$ext = ".php";

if (preg_match("#^[a-z0-9_-]+$#i", $_GET["page"]) && file_exists($path . $_GET["page"] . $ext)) {
$filename = $path . $_GET["page"] . $ext;
include($filename);
}

else {

include("ORIGINAL_SIDEBAR_FILE.php");}

?>

“And what’s the point of using a rewrite rule to pass a variable that is only used to include a file? The user won’t see the URI anyway. Are you using permalinks just to code that in?”

The point is that so users can see my wordpress blog with a contact form on the right of the page if they type: mydomain.com/content/contact/

Or if they type mydomain.com/content/chat/ my wordpress blog will be displayed, with a java chat applet on the right side of the page.

I have pasted the code you have posted – thank you. However, the same problem still remains.

Insert: <?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?> into your post template file.

Firefox/Netscape can turn the ' into a ‘

However, Internet Explorer cannot.

Look through the theme code and replace ' with ‘ or `

I had the exact same problem a month ago.
Just take a look at this thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/3/7696

Thank You Beel.
That seemed to work !
??
Thanks to everyone else for helping too.

“any particular reason for not naming it index?”
Yes, because I already have an index page.
I’m a little reluctant to mess around with the .htaccess settings. I’d rather prefer editing my wordpress configuration then .htaccess file. Thanks for the advice though ??
Is there no other way that involves editing the wordpress files ? When I was experimenting with an earlier version of wordpress, it seemed to let Me change the filename and extension for index.php just fine.

I’ve just tried that… and now my links have changed to:
https://mydomain.com/blog.php/index.php
It doesn’t seem to work ??
