title: How to point my subdomain in the htaccess file to the directory where the WordPress index.php is present?
body: <p>I'm trying to set up multilingual WordPress site using the PolyLang plugin. My website will have 3 languages - Ukrainian, Russian and English. Ukrainian default.</p>
  
  <p>In the URL settings of polylang, there is an option to select a language by subdomain. The idea is that the URLs looks like this: “example.com” - is the default Ukrainian language main page of the site. “ru.example.com” - is Russian language, and “en.example.com” is English.</p>
  
  <p>On the hosting, I have already created two subdomains ru and en. In the server root directory, there are 2 folders with the appropriate names. My question is whether it is possible and how to configure the .htaccess file like this: when a visitor gets to the subdomain page - the server returns not the file in the corresponding folder, but the index.php file located in the root.</p>
  
  <p>I have already tried to do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ru\.example\.com  [NC]
  RewriteRule . /index.php [P]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And that's not worked. Not any results, just like nothing changed.</p>
  
  <p>Here is full .htaccess file from the root:</p>
  
  <pre><code># BEGIN WordPress
  &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ru\.example\.com  [NC]
  RewriteRule . /index.php [P]
  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  
  # END WordPress
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Maybe I need to create and write .htaccess files in subdomain folders...</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any suggestions!</p>
