We're working on a site that has Wordpress installed as the main CMS. EE is installed in subdirectory, and I am wanting to remove index.php. Everything I have tried removes both index.php and the subdirectory, but I need that subdirectory to stay in place, so WP will leave it alone.

So an address like:
site.com/EE\_subdirectory/index.php/site/page-url

Needs to change to:
site.com/EE\_subdirectory/site/page-url

I tried this .htaccess to my EE subdirectory:

```
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    # Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/system/.* [NC]
    RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]

    # Directs all EE web requests through the site index file
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

```

But it took out both the subdirectory and index.php. Do I need to do something to the WP .htaccess instead? Any ideas?
