Hello,

I have a website ( http://www.example.com/health) with Wordpress installed in a sub folder called "health."

Unfortunately, when I access Wordpress, it wants to default to

http://example.com/health  I would prefer to keep the www in the url as it was.

I tried several different rewites, even a Wordpess plugin, yet I can't seem to get it right.

Below is the .htaccess file from Wordpress.  Can someone please tell me how to do the proper url rewrite so that Wordpress open as http://www.example.com/health  ?

Here is the present .htaccess file from Wordpress:

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

# END WordPress

Thanks very much for your help,

George

Hi Andrew, thanks for the response and assistance.

Well, we're almost there.   However, the new code in .htaccess (presently removed)  seems to be redirecting me back to the homepage and not the blog page ( and retaining the www in it).

Is it possible that I doing something wrong? Is there anything I can add to the rewrite to get the blog to open at http://www.busbuyer.com/resources ?

As you know, with no .htaccess file in place, typing the url in with www simply redirects back to the non-www version. ( present situation).

Note: I put the .htaccess file ( with the code you provided) in the "resources" folder where Wordpress is installed. 

Thanks again.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks again for your time, I will try this out.  BTW, sorry about the confusion in my last email.  I mentioned first a "health" folder, then a "resources" folder in my url.  My bad. I have 3 different Wordpress blogs I am trying to use this redirect on, and  apparently got distracted.
