Sometimes, it’s necessary to permit access to a file or directory however don\u2019t need a sub domain. For instance, once you upload a file or folder to your public_html directory, however WordPress shows a 404 error whereas trying to access its file path. In such cases, you can create a rewrite condition within your .htaccess file to force your WordPress web site to ignore the file path of that file. With this a file \u2013 e.g. domain.com\/file.html \u2013 can get displayed as is rather than embedded as a part of the parent WordPress web site.<\/p>\n

Let’s see the steps to Edit WordPress to Ignore a File Path<\/p>\n

1. Login to your account via SSH or cPanel File Editor, navigate to your WordPress directory.<\/p>\n

2. Open your web site with .htaccess file.<\/p>\n

3. Check below the default WordPress .htaccess file:<\/p>\n

# BEGIN WordPress<\/strong><\/p>\n

RewriteEngine On<\/strong>
\nRewriteBase \/<\/strong>
\nRewriteRule ^index\\.php$ \u2013 [L]<\/strong>
\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<\/strong>
\nRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<\/strong>
\nRewriteRule . \/index.php [L]<\/strong><\/p>\n

# END WordPress<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You need to add the below given code above the RewriteCond lines, replacing file with the file path to your saved files:<\/p>\n

RewriteCond $1 !^(\/file)<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

4. Then save your changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
