Sorry to be a pain, but the two extra lines in there are my actual directories:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(transfers|transfers/.*)$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(subject|subject/.*)$

If you’d whack those out it would probably make it clearer for your following. Same thing for the extra “BEGIN WordPress” and “END WordPress” that are outside the code box.

BTW, I’ve just started hacking on jQuery, so keep the tips coming on that! And while I’m at it, an all-encompassing thanks is in order for generally sharing your work.

Regards,

ASN5

BEGIN WordPress

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(directory|directory/.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(nutherdirectory|nutherdirectory/.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(transfers|transfers/.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(subject|subject/.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

END WordPress

Of course, substitute the actual name of your directories for “directory” and “nutherdirectory” and you’re good to go!

Cheers!

On a slightly different note… does anyone know of a way to bypass WordPress for a specific directory? That is, my blog is on the root (http://rootdomain.com) and I’d like to be able to access a directory (http://rootdomain.com/directory) without getting a WordPress 404.

Any tips would be appreciated.
