Wordpress Blog in Vanilla install:Posts say Page Not Found

neyawn

Hello,

I have vanilla installed in my root folder mysite/
I have now installed wordpress in mysite/blog

I am able to access mysite/blog and mysite/blog/wp-admin

However, when I write a post "Hello World", and its URL is mysite/blog/hello-world, I am not able to access it. When I click on the title of my post, it shows Vanilla's classical Page not found error.

Can someone help me with this?

No replies yet? or Have I not been able to put my question properly?

The rewrite rules for the permalinks in WordPress is probably not configured correctly. Make sure that the .htaccess file in WordPress is set up correctly.

well naturally.

it will route /blog/something-virtual to index.php?p=/blog/something-virtual

you will have to configure your .htaccess files to route correctly.

in /.htaccess right before

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]

put

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^blog(/.*)?$

then try.

You might need to set the RewriteBase in /blog/.htaccess or comment the line out.

@Shadowdare Thanks for the reply :-)
There is no .htaccess file in my wordpress folder /blog. (I just created one.Its currently blank)
@x00 Currently my .htaccess file in / looks like:-

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)? index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]

I made it to:-
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^blog(/.)?$
RewriteRule ^(.)? index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]

I am able to access vanilla normally, but the /blog/hello-world still shows the vanilla page not found. Can you tell me what changes/additions do I need to make to the /blog/.htaccess?

Okay, just describing the situation at my end:-

My /.htaccess file looks like:-
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^blog(/.*)?$ RewriteRule ^(.*)? index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]

My /blog/.htaccess looks like:-

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

1. My vanilla forum ( in root directory) works fine.
2. My wordpress index.php (in /blog) works fine
3. My wordpress posts redirect to vanilla
   e.g : mysite/blog/hello-world shows the URL "mysite/blog/hello-world" but renders mysite/

What am I doing wrong?
@shadowdare I created a /blog/.htaccess file as described above.

x00

can you change

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

to

RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]

x00

You can also do

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L] is wrong becuase / is your root so you are directing it back to /index.php not /blog/index.php

Because you are using RewriteBase, then you can leave of the leading slash and it is relative. So blog would attempt /blog/blog

@x00 Works perfect. Thanks a ton! :-)

Sharing The final solution below:-
mysite/.htaccess file

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^blog(/.*)?$ RewriteRule ^(.*)? index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]

mysite/blog/.htaccess file
`# BEGIN WordPress

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

END WordPress`

Thanks again, both of you :-)
