title: add a subdirectory to a site hosting wordpress in doc root
body: <p>I want to run a php script on my site from a newly created subdirectory.</p>
  
  <p>However I am finding that my existing wordpress blog (running from doc root) is intercepting my url to the script in subdir and giving me a 404.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get wordpress to ignore the subdirectory?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: based on comment, here is my .htaccess file contents:</p>
  
  <pre><code># -FrontPage-
  IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
  &lt;Limit GET POST&gt;
  order deny,allow
  deny from all
  allow from all
  &lt;/Limit&gt;
  &lt;Limit PUT DELETE&gt;
  order deny,allow
  deny from all
  &lt;/Limit&gt;
  AuthName example.com
  AuthUserFile /home/xxx/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
  AuthGroupFile /home/xxx/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
  # BEGIN WordPress
  &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  
  # END WordPress
