Wordpress using this style of .htaccess to re-write index.php into more SEF URL’s.
With EE installed in a subdirectory I needed the wordpress .htaccess to ignore the subfolder where the EE install was so I used the following which works perfectly.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^subfolder_name/\.htaccess - [S=2]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
The other thing was I needed an .htaccess to force SSL. Now I found you have to change the whole EE to http: or https: ... So you have to set the global config and settings in path.php to be https.
This following htaccess flips any page for .http into .https
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
