Linking outside Wordpress page on localserver

Question

I've updated my website to a Wordpress site. But now i have a problem with my prestashop, that i still need to be running on the server/webhost. On my old page i had the prestashop installation called 'shop' inside my old site folder - so the link would be mysite.com/shop = worked fine.

I have nice permalinks working on my site, taking up all directions outsite WP sites as 'No result WP page' - And im stocked here.. I dont know where to put my prestashop folder or how to link to it from Wordpress.

Answer 1

Have you set up the permailinks in Wordpress so your .htaccess looks like the following?;

# 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

The line RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d is telling the server not to include rewrites for directories which are in the root of the install, so anything within your shop directory shouldn't be processed through index.php.
