Introduction: The Challenge of Serving WordPress in Symfony

If you're working with both Symfony and WordPress in the same project, you might face a common problem: how to serve a WordPress directory (e.g., public/blog) without letting Symfony's routing take over. This situation arises particularly when trying to access the blog subdirectory of your Symfony application. Instead of displaying your WordPress site, you might encounter 404 errors due to conflicting routing configurations. In this post, we will address this challenge and provide clear steps to configure your environment to serve your WordPress content correctly.

Understanding the Issue

Symfony uses a .htaccess file that directs all traffic through the Symfony front controller, which can cause conflicts when trying to directly access files or directories like your WordPress installation. Each request needs to bypass the Symfony routing for paths that point to your WordPress content.

Here are the elements that can lead you to this challenge:

Requests for /blog are routed through Symfony instead of directly reaching WordPress.

Apache's mod_rewrite settings might be misconfigured, directing requests improperly.

Solution: Proper .htaccess Configuration

Step 1: Ensure WordPress's .htaccess file is Present

First and foremost, check the .htaccess file located in your public/blog directory. This file is crucial for WordPress to handle URL routing correctly. Your WordPress .htaccess file should look like this:

This configuration allows direct access to existing files and directories while routing other requests through WordPress.

Step 2: Modify Symfony's Root .htaccess File

To enable requests to reach your WordPress folder, modify your Symfony root .htaccess file. You need to ensure any requests to /blog are not processed by Symfony. Here’s how to do that:

Make sure to add these conditions right before the final rewrite rule:

Step 3: Set Correct WordPress URL Settings

Ensure that the WordPress URL settings are configured appropriately. This includes setting the WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME values in your WordPress settings (Dashboard or wp-config.php) to reflect that it is located in the blog directory. Set these values like so:

Step 4: Check for Mod_Rewrite Availability

Finally, confirm that mod_rewrite is enabled on your Apache server. This module is essential for the .htaccess configurations to function correctly. You can usually verify this from your server settings or through a simple PHP info page.

Conclusion

By following these steps to adjust your .htaccess files, you should be able to serve your WordPress site from within a Symfony project seamlessly. Remember, the key steps are ensuring proper routing through both the root and the WordPress .htaccess files and configuring WordPress's settings accurately. With this setup, navigating to mydomain/blog will lead you directly to your WordPress installation instead of being hijacked by Symfony's routing system.

If you still encounter issues, double-check the configurations, as typing errors or server settings can also be culprits. Happy coding!
