    text
    copied!<p>I have a website with a frontend and a backend that all run through index.php. To access the back end you would go to <a href="http://www.mysite.com/Admin" rel="nofollow">http://www.mysite.com/Admin</a>. This will still run through index.php but then connect to the database and go to the correct directory. The backend manages donation information that is collected on the site.</p> <p>I want to change the front end to WordPress but still collect donation information in the original database and view it from the backend. </p> <p>Rather than rewrite all the code, I was wondering if there was a way I could use mod-rewrite and place the WordPress files in a separate directory. This way any request that included /Admin as the start would go through the original index.php and any other request would redirect to directory with WordPress.</p> <p>I originally tried:</p> <pre><code>RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Admin RewriteRule ^(.*)$ gpf/$1 [L] </code></pre> <p>but a request for /Admin just gives me a 404 error.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for any help.</p> <p>This is the full .htaccess file</p> <pre><code>RewriteEngine On Options -Indexes # Serve 'gate' as php &lt;Files gate&gt; SetHandler application/x-httpd-php AcceptPathInfo On &lt;/Files&gt; FileETag MTime Size AddCharset UTF-8 .xml AddType video/mp4 mp4 m4v AddType audio/mp4 m4a AddType video/ogg ogv AddType audio/ogg ogg oga AddType video/webm webm # redirect all domains (.net, .com, .biz, etc) to .org RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mysite\.org$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.org/$1 [R=301,L] # Route search RewriteRule ^search$ /search/ [R,NC,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Admin RewriteRule ^(.*)$ gpf/$1 [L] # Route domain plus slash correctly RewriteRule ^$ /gate/ [L] # All requests: serve _gate_ as php. 1st arg is requested URL qs preserved RewriteRule ^([0-9A-Z].*) /gate/$1 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^rss\.xml /gate/rss.xml [QSA,L] # PHP directives - should comment out on production server php_value display_errors 1 php_value display_startup_errors 1 AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html application/x-javascript text/css text/javascript text/plain &lt;IfModule mod_expires.c&gt; ExpiresActive On # Manually change filenames for static images.
