Force HTTPS on entire site except 1 directory - wordpress

I have this .htaccess file right now:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
It redirects everything on my site to HTTPS, which is great, however, I want the /example directory to never be in HTTPS, I want it to always be HTTP.
How could I accomplish this while having the rest of the site be HTTPS?

301 status redirect code

I'm a novice with a wordpress website. I ran it through a seo checker and was told that my site has a 302 code rather than a 200 code, and that this is a critical error.
After googling I found an article instructing me to go to the the .htaccess file.
I opened the file, and found below:
Options -Indexes
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Should I just delete the link with the 301 code or change to 200?
Thanks in advance for any assistance or insight. I hope the question makes sense.
If the .htaccess is corrupted (by a plugin or otherwise) you can try and replace it. From the looks of your existing file, you're using a WordPress multi-site installation. You can try replacing the current .htaccess in the subfolder with the following:
WordPress 3.5 and up
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
WordPress 3.0 through 3.4.2
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

Forward to www in WordPress multisites

I have a WordPress multisite (using subfolders, not subdomains) in the format domain.com. For reasons of consistency and better SEO, I'd like to forward it to www.domain.com.
I've tried putting this code into .htaccess but I get a redirect loop:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# this is the code I added to forward to www
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
I'm pretty sure my domain is set to without www in the WordPress settings but it won't let me see that any more now I have a multisite.
I would try first not using htaccess redirect and remove the www redirect you have. Then edit your wp-config.php and change the DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE to be your www domain. This way wordpress will handle the redirection.
Or you can try the htaccess method, but you might have some order problems, I believe with MU, the redirect needs to be the first thing. Replace domain.com with your real site.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

WP Site Network htaccess redirect to https

I use wordpress with a Site Network. Since I wanna use different kinda themes on the same domain it's necessary. To make this work I needed to change my htaccess file into what WP ordered me to. But then my redirection to https didn't work anymore.
I have the following htaccess code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
I wanna add a redirection to https:// w w w. for any access to the website.
Anything I do, in the end one of the former rules aren't working anymore. And afterwards the Wordpress Network Sites don't work anymore.
Any suggestions?
You need to keep redirection rule before your your WP rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# http to https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
Also don't forget to change permalink setting in WP to use https for your blog/site

Prevent subpages from redirecting to the root URI

I'm having a minor but annoying issue with a site running WordPress 3.1.4 Multisite.
Navigating to the URI of a subpage without the "http://www" such as "abetterworldbydesign.com/2011-conference/" results in a redirect to the root "http://www.abetterworldbydesign.com".
The intent is for "abetterworldbydesign.com/2011-conference/" to redirect to "http://www.abetterworldbydesign.com/2011-conference/".
.htaccess file below (it's specific stuff for WordPress Multisite).
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Try adding this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^abetterworldbydesign.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.abetterworldbydesign.com/$1 [R=301,L]
at the very top, just after RewriteEngine On.
