Writing htaccess to load index.html and index.php in the same directory

Question

I have a bit of a complicated situation. I'm working on a landing page with an enter link (index.php). The landing page is index.html, however, I am using wordpress rewrite rules to load the entire site as if it were in the index directory.

The wordpress files are in /wordpress/, whereas the site when loaded from mydomain.com loads each page without /wordpress/.

The problem is, when the mydomain.com is loaded, by default index.html is loaded. The link contains an index.php href, but when clicked it brings me back to index.html. I know why it does this, but not sure how to, or if it's even possible to make a rewrite rule to aid this situation.

Here's my htaccess:

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

# END WordPress

Any help or guidance is appreciated. Thank you!

Provide more information about how you define your href for index.php — Oleg Gryb

Yep and I don't understand why it redirects back to index.html when you click on this link. Since you wrote that you do understand, probably you can explain. — Oleg Gryb

I wouldn't have asked the community if I didn't have this problem. I'm not sure why either, though it probably does come from the line RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]. I do believe that it comes from trying to call an index that is rewritten as the default directory, basically to remove /wordpress/ from the path when called. — Lord Bahamut

That rule could explain why it gets redirected to index.php, but I still don't understand how it can be redirected back to index.html. Probably you should provide more details about index.html page. Probably something is wrong with the 'href' — Oleg Gryb

I think this will be helpful to you.

Make index.html default, but allow index.php to be visited if typed in

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm default.htm index.php index.php3 index.phtml index.php5 index.shtml mwindex.phtml
