  Attempting to exclude a folder ‘test’ from the wordpress rewrite rules in the htaccess file and give it a unique rewrite. Test isn’t a real folder.

  So this: /test/post1/ or this /test/post1 should rewrite to /index.php?pagename=$1 where $1 is the posttitle e.g. post1. I think I have the exclusion working as a RewriteCond (see below) – how do I add the RewriteRule for it?

  # BEGIN WordPress
  
  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(test|test/.*)$
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
  </IfModule>
  
  # END WordPress

  Hi there,

  It looks like you have a self hosted WordPress.org website and not one hosted on WordPress.com.

  This is the forum for WordPress.com.

  For help with WordPress.org websites please see here:

  To learn about the difference between the two please see here: 

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Hope it helps.
