Wordpress .htaccess errors

Question

Thanks in advance to all you .htaccess guru's out there. I'm having an issue that's been bothering me for some time. I have wordpress nested inside my own site folder structure. To the user, everything is cool. But when i go to www.domain.com/blog/wp-admin, my credentials will not log in. It just keeps looping me around to the same page. If I go to www.domain.com/blog/wp-login.php directly it works. I wonder if anyone knows why this is.

The blog is located at /fe/blog/.

The .htaccess in / is:

Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(files)/?(.*) /files/$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)           /fe/$1  [NC]

The .htaccess in /fe is:

Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
RewriteEngine on

And Finally the .htaccess in the /fe/blog/ is:

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

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

i wonder if this line is not the culprit:

RewriteRule ^(files)/?(.*) /files/$2 [NC,L]

could you try:

RewriteRule ^files/?(.*) /files/$1 [NC,L]

If not, you might also add the flag [QSA] (Query String Append)

RewriteRule ^files/?(.*) /files/$1 [NC,L, QSA]

Answer 2

Try this in your /.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule !^(files|fe)/ fe%{REQUEST_URI} [NC]

And this in your /fe/blog/.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
