WordPress Mod Rewrite Make Subdirectory 404 Error

Filed Under development |   

Last night, I getting lots of 404 error while using Google to search my own blog index page, I realized there is something wrong about my blog.

My user-created-outside-of-WP folder is throwing a 404 when trying to access it. Now for some details:

Blog www.moon-blog.com : normal WP blog. Permalinks “/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html” through mod_rewrite in the default .htaccess file WP created.

Subdirectory www.moon-blog.com/MySubdirectory/): normal PHP application. User defind permalinks. Located at directory “/MySubdirectory/”.

The problem is that the WordPress thinks My Subdirectory is 404, and do not allow Google to index my files.

I Try add some of php code into my php application to resolve this problem:

header("Status: 200 OK");

After adding that code, my PHP application in the subdirectory do not return 404 error again.

    Thank you very much. I was struggling with this for a few hours.

    I have a Wordpress plugin that adds some mod rewrites to redirect certain urls (like “/products/product1″) to a file in the plugin folder. IE6&7 were giving me random 404 errors… usually when I tried to refresh while the page was still loading.

    Anyway, adding the header 200 OK code to the top of the PHP scripts fixed it.

    This is a really weird fix. Shouldn’t PHP be sending 200 status by default anyway?

    mmm… I believe that that should solve it the WP without mediation on our behalf. To my I found difficult to get the answer. (yo creo que eso lo deberia resolver el WP sin mediacion de nuestra parte. A mi me costó muchas horas conseguir la respuesta)

    Can two WordPress installations run under a same domain? One in the root and the other in the /blog/ directory? I have the one installed in the root, and not when I try to install the second one - that is in the /blog/ I get an 404 error from the first (root) one.

    Can I install the two somehow?

    Where exactly would I put:
    header(”Status: 200 OK”);
