Top directories can break functionality on sub directories. Case in point:
Scenario: WordPress site with popular application, helpdesk.
https://www.qualityunit.com/liveagent/
some_site.com
Generally the root level htaccess file of WordPress contains a statement:
“RewriteBase /”
This causes the following example URL to break:
some_site.com/helpdesk
You need to create a new statement in the /helpdesk directory folder’s htaccess file:
RewriteBase /helpdesk/
This applies to any other application that may reside in sub directories.
Enjoy!
