I have a Wordpress site that has a rewrite rule. I also have a non-wordpress folder, but I can't access it because of this rule. So I read that i should enter RewriteEngine Off in the htaccess of the non-wordpress folder, unfortunately I still get an Error 404 on that page (it works fine if I remove the Wordpress rewrite).

Here is the htaccess in the root:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks!

Matt

Add this right under RewriteBase /:

RewriteRule ^folder/ - [L]

where folder is the folder you want to exclude.
