Help with htaccess

[SCW]

I just setup a WP install in a subfolder: domain.com/development/

However, there is an existing htaccess file in the root which contains the following:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z_0-9-]+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z_0-9-]+)/$ /index.php?page=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z_0-9-]+)/([a-z]+)$ /index.php?page=$1&comp=$2 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z_0-9-]+)/([a-z]+)/$ /index.php?page=$1&comp=$2 [QSA]

I need to leave the rules as-is due to the nature of  CMS (not WP) under the root domain.

Is it possible to include an exception or condition which allows URL requests containing /development/ to resolve to that folder?

I tried to add:

RewriteRule ^development/([A-Za-z_0-9-]+)$ /development/index.php?page=$1    [QSA]

but this seems to send it in a loop back to the root.

Thanks!!!

Hi there,

To be able to give you an answer, could you please confirm: Do you want to apply specific rules to the pages inside the /development/ subdirectory that override the ones that are already included in the root file htaccess or something else?

Thanks for the confirmation!
