如何将WordPress置于子目录且保留permalinks，静态HTML作首页

Got it, let's tackle this step by step—since the standard Codex method isn't working for your specific setup, we'll use a custom approach that keeps your static Bootstrap homepage at the root, lets WordPress live in /subdirectory, and preserves your original root-level permalinks for all WP pages (except the WP homepage, which stays locked to /subdirectory).

Step 1: Move WordPress to the Subdirectory #

First, get your WordPress files into the /subdirectory folder on your server:

• Using FTP or your host's file manager, create a new folder named subdirectory in your site's root directory.
• Move all your WordPress core files, themes, plugins, and the wp-content folder into this subdirectory folder.

Step 2: Update WordPress Settings #

Log into your WordPress dashboard (you'll need to access it temporarily at www.exampledomain.com/subdirectory/wp-admin) and adjust these critical settings:

• Go to Settings > General
  • Set WordPress Address (URL) to www.exampledomain.com/subdirectory (this tells WP where its core files live)
  • Leave Site Address (URL) as www.exampledomain.com (this keeps your permalinks rooted at the domain, not the subfolder)
• Save your changes. You might get logged out—just log back in at the /subdirectory/wp-admin URL.

Step 3: Set Up Your Static Bootstrap Homepage #

• In your site's root directory, create (or replace) an index.html file with your Bootstrap static page content. This will be your default homepage.
• Ensure your server prioritizes index.html over WordPress's index.php:
  • For Apache: Add this line to the top of your root .htaccess file:

    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
    

  • For Nginx: Update your server block's index directive to:

    index index.html index.php;
    

Step 4: Configure .htaccess Rules (The Magic Part) #

This is where we route traffic correctly so your static homepage loads at the root, WP's homepage stays at /subdirectory, and all other WP pages load with root-level permalinks.

Root Directory .htaccess #

Replace or update your root .htaccess with this code:

# Prioritize static homepage
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Load static homepage for root request
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [L]

# Allow direct access to the WordPress subdirectory
RewriteRule ^subdirectory/ - [L]

# Route all other non-file/non-directory requests to WordPress in subdirectory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /subdirectory/index.php [L]

WordPress Subdirectory .htaccess #

Go to the /subdirectory folder and make sure its .htaccess has this code (if it doesn't, update it):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subdirectory/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /subdirectory/index.php [L]

Step 5: Verify & Fix Permalinks #

• Test your setup:
  • www.exampledomain.com loads your Bootstrap static homepage
  • www.exampledomain.com/subdirectory loads your WordPress homepage
  • www.exampledomain.com/somepage loads your WordPress page without the /subdirectory prefix
• If permalinks are broken, head to WP Admin > Settings > Permalinks and click "Save Changes" (no need to edit anything—this refreshes WP's permalink rules).

Pro Tip #

Always back up your .htaccess files and WordPress database before making these changes, just in case you need to roll back.
