Create custom folder in wordpress installation - wordpress

Hi i have a wordpress site and i want to create a custom folder in the root directory which will be independant from the wordpress. What rewrite rule i have to use in order to access that folder?
I have put
RewriteRule ^clients? /clients/index.php [L]
Current htaccess file
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^clients? /clients/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
When i access that folder i get an internal server error 500

You must have an infinite rewrite loop, see this answer. Try this:
...
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^clients? /clients/index.php [L]
...
For perfection, you might want to add the QSA and NCflags as well.

How to enable a WordPress installation and a Mediawiki installation on the same subdomain?

I have a subdomain that has a WordPress installation on its root (e.g. https://sub.domain.com). This opens the WordPress frontpage.
Then I installed a Mediawiki installation in a directory called w, and renamed it using the ShortURL method specified here in this Mediawiki documentation and added the necessary .htaccess adjustments to make the Mediawiki installation uses this url structure: https://sub.domain.com/wiki.
Then I added another Mediawiki installation in another folder called typ and followed the same steps detailed above.
I wanted to have 2 Mediawiki installations for different purposes. They are not linked to each other.
However, after the Mediawiki installations, the WordPress took over, and when I try to access the /wiki urls, I get a 404 not found from the WordPress.
Here is my .htaccess code:
# 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]
RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/?typing(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/typ/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/typ/index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?w/images/thumb/[0-9a-f]/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)px-.*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/thumb.php?f=$1&width=$2 [L,QSA,B]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?w/images/thumb/archive/[0-9a-f]/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)px-.*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/thumb.php?f=$1&width=$2&archived=1 [L,QSA,B]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# NOTE this account's php is controlled via FPM and the vhost, this is a place holder.
# Do not edit. This next line is to support the cPanel php wrapper (php_cli).
# AddType application/x-httpd-ea-php70 .php .phtml
# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
The only way to get the Mediawiki installations to show is to comment out the WordPress lines, like this:
#RewriteBase /
#RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
My question is: Is there a way to get all the installations working at the same time? so https://sub.domain.com opens the WordPress installation, and https://sub.domain.com/wiki and https://sub.domain.com/typing open the MEdiawiki installation?
The only solution I found is to move the Mediawiki lines up the .htaccess file, remove the duplicates.
Here is the final code that worked:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/?typing(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/typ/index.php [L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/?w/images/thumb/[0-9a-f]/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)px-.*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/thumb.php?f=$1&width=$2 [L,QSA,B]
RewriteRule ^/?w/images/thumb/archive/[0-9a-f]/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)px-.*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/thumb.php?f=$1&width=$2&archived=1 [L,QSA,B]
RewriteRule ^/?typ/images/thumb/[0-9a-f]/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)px-.*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/typ/thumb.php?f=$1&width=$2 [L,QSA,B]
RewriteRule ^/?typ/images/thumb/archive/[0-9a-f]/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)px-.*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/typ/thumb.php?f=$1&width=$2&archived=1 [L,QSA,B]
</IfModule>

How to clean url wordpress

I'm using wordpress for a site,
this url before tes.com/index.php/about/
i want url like this tes.com/about/
I have tried copying parts of WordPress' .htaccess, however shows a 404 error.
My .htaccess file looks like:
# 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
Any ideas on where to start and how to accomplish what I'm looking for?
Go to your WP-ADMIN-->Settings-->Permalink and use the permalink structure change there, if it generate any .htaccess file copy the content and update your .htaccess file.
Or Check if your hosting mod_rewrite is enable by creating a file phpinfo.php with content,
Upload this file and browse via Browser. So you know which modules are enabled. You need mod_rewrite enable to remove index.php from URL.
Try this -
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /test.com/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /test.com/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
The official instructions will give you clean urls. So best to follow this
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Load folder on specific Wordpress URL(category URL) with .htaccess

I'm trying to load the content(index.html) from specific folder on specific(already used URL) in Wordpress.
Here's the .htaccess file(default):
# 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
I've tried with few variations of this rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^/category/funny-posts/ /funny-images/ [L]
So funny-images is a directory on my server where I have WP installed. Both of them are in the root folder.
How can I load index.html from /funny-images/ when I type www.site.com/category/funny-posts/ ?
If the index.html file is not displaying (and the URI you want is being passed to WP) it's probably because you're putting the rule at the end. Try putting it just after RewriteEngine On. Oh, and I don't think you'll need that RewriteBase. Also, you don't need that leading slash in the new rule, just before category.
Your file should now look like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^category/funny-posts/ /funny-images/ [L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

wordpress redirects me to subdirectory folder

I have wordpress installed in subdirectory folder named "thumbs". I also followed the steps here.
Everything works fine but if I go to www.mysite.com/wp-admin it redirects me to www.mysite.com/thumbs/wp-admin, I don't want that to happen because I want the subdirectory folder to be secret.
So what I want is if I visit or somebody visit www.mysite.com/wp-admin I want the wordpress 404 error page to display. Thanks in advance for the help.
What am I missing?
You should modify your root .htaccess (not thumbs/.htaccess) file to add a rule for wp-admin, e.g. :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wp-admin - [L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Change your HTACCESS with this code
# Switch rewrite engine off in case this was installed under HostPay.
RewriteEngine Off
SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 53
DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.php
# 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

Unable to ignore a directory in WordPress install via .htaccess

/custom/player-registration.php
I've used the following .htaccess in my WordPress install and I can't access the above URL... any tips? I've tried 2 methods here... The URL continues to go to a WordPress search page.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^custom - [L,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(custom|custom/.*)$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
UPDATE
I suppose I need to clarify that I am able to access /custom but am NOT able to access files within that directory... how do I access files within that directory?
Default WP .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
means: if request doesn't point to any existing file or directory, use index.php
So it should serve Your file well with default settings. What are You trying to acomplish with the rest of Your file?
Try
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^custom.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
