Do you want to get Lumen or Laravel to play nice with WordPress?
I did too…
Below is how I got them to work together with just a few lines in the .htaccess files…
NOTE: The code below is assuming you are installing WordPress in a blog sub-directory for example http://yourdomain.com/blog and have lumen or laravel installed in the root directory.
Your lumen or laravel .htaccess file should contain this one additional line… I know right? Just one line…
#Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog/ # <=== NEW LINE!!!! # Redirect Trailing Slashes... RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301] # Handle Front Controller... RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
Your WordPress .htaccess file should contain the following two lines, like this…
# BEGIN WordPressRewriteEngine On RewriteBase /blog/ # <==== CHANGED LINE!! RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L] # <==== CHANGED LINE!!! # END WordPress
That’s about it, I was able to setup FeedSumo.com with a WordPress install in a /blog sub-directory, FeedSumo is powered by Lumen.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please post them below!
