I have Wordpress installed in root and a particular folder not related to Wordpress. I created a .htaccess file for the particular folder, but it is not working. The Wordpress .htaccess is always been called.
Wordpress .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
#<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /
#RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
#</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Particular folder .htaccess:
//301 Redirect Old File
Redirect 301 http://www.domain.com/folder/start.php http://www.domain.com/folder/index.php
When I load the above old address (that does not exists), the Wordpress .htaccess is called, instead of use the folder's .htaccess to redirect.
