I'm struggling with configuring the rewrite rules in the .htaccess files.
I'd like to run a Slim PHP App inside my Wordpress folder, so I can reuse the SSL certificate for my API.
The Slim App is running inside the /api folder, so it can be accessed by calling https://www.example.com/api
.
This works well, but if I open an API endpoint like example.com/api/timesheet
the page is redirected to the 404 error Wordpress page.
What I did so far:
I excluded the api directory
in the .htaccess
file inside the Wordpress root directory:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(api|api/.*)$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
And added these new Slim default rules in the .htaccess
file inside the api directory
:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
