How do I get two htaccess rewrite rules to 'play nice' together? - .htaccess

In my website root I have the following to redirect to non www domain
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^www\.notails\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://notails.com/$1 [R=301,NC]
in a subfolder named 'photography' I have this...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^show/([^/\.]+)/([^/]+)$ show.php?section=$1&photoid=$2 [L]
Anything inside the photography folder ignores the www removing rule. How do I get these two rules to both apply to folders/files within the photography folder?
Also... my root htaccess file has this...
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Could it be interfering? I have a self-hosted wordpress blog but it's not in the root of the website, it's in a subfolder called 'blog' so I don't know why this rule is in my root's htaccess file. Can/should I move it?
Edit: Just to point out, in case it isn't obvious - I'm a complete noob when it comes to htaccess and mod_rewrite stuff. Does a htaccess file in a subfolder override any htaccess files nearer to the root than it? Or do the htaccess contents combine?
Edit 2: I have tried moving the second rule to the same htaccess file as the www removing rule as per the following code...
# 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
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^www\.notails\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://notails.com/$1 [R=301,NC]
RewriteRule ^photography/show/([^/\.]+)/([^/]+)$ photography/show.php?section=$1&photoid=$2 [L]
If I then go to one of my photography pages it resolves to the intended url (http://notails.com/photography/show/pointofayre/260 for example) but the page is a 404.
If I manually add 'www' to that it undoes the other rule... (http://notails.com/show.php?section=pointofayre&photoid=260) and removes 'photography/' from it.

Add RewriteOptions inherit into .htaccess in your "photography" folder because right now all rewrite rules from parent folders are ignored (default behaviour).
Alternatively move rewrite rules from that subfolder .htaccess into root one (you will need to slightly modify your rule by fixing the path -- adding photography/ may be enough, depends on actual "photography" location)
UPDATE:
Your root .htaccess can be like this:
Options +FollowSymlinks
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# activate rewrite engine
RewriteEngine On
# we are in the root
RewriteBase /
# no www please
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.notails\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://notails.com/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
# photography
RewriteRule ^photography/show/([^/\.]+)/([^/]+)$ /photography/show.php?section=$1&photoid=$2 [L]
# WordPress rules
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

htaccess file to hide subfolder

I'm struggling with the .htaccess file. I've wordpress installed in a subdirectory 'wordpress'. In the root folder if have the htaccess with the following content:
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$
RewriteRule !^wordpress/ /wordpress%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
Redirection is working, but how can I hide the subfolder 'wordpress'?
THX in advance
EDIT: Tried following content now but still not working:
root htaccess:
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com
RewriteRule !^wordpress/ wordpress%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
</IfModule>
wordpress htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
EDIT2: my whole root htaccess looks like this now:
Allow from all
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com
RewriteRule !^wordpress/ wordpress%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
If i type in www.example.com I am redirected to example/wordpress/home, example/wordpress/contact and so on...
I would like to hide the wordpress directory like example/home, example/contact and so on
Redirection is working, but how can I hide the subfolder 'wordpress'?
You shouldn't be "redirecting". You should be internally rewriting the request instead. Remove the R flag.
For example:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com
RewriteRule !^wordpress/ wordpress%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
The slash prefix on the susbtitution string is also not required.
This assumes you have the standard WP .htaccess file in the /wordpress subdirectory.
UPDATE: Also confirm you have removed the /wordpress subdirectory from the "Website Address" and "Site Address" in WordPress General settings.

Htaccess redirect after Magento site moved to subdirectory

I've moved my site with all its contents from the root to a subfolder, like
www.example.com
To
www.example.com/shop
Now, I want to redirect all old pages to the new url.
What I tried in the .htaccess of the root, but did'nt work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(shop)($|/) - [L] // To prevent loops
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/shop$1 [R=301,L]
But now, all old pages redirect to example.com/shop
Edit:
After it was moved, I had to add following code to the htaccess of subdirectory to make it work:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /shop/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /shop/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
You can use this rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/shop/ [NC]
RewriteRule !^shop/ /shop%{REQUEST_URI} [NC,R=301,L]

.htaccess mod rewrite only with certain domain

I have a website www.website.com and a few domains that redirect to this site. It's a masked redirect, so if I write www.domain.com I can see this url in the browser all the time, but it's actually redirected to subdomain.website.com What I'd like to do is do some .htaccess rewrite rule, so that everything that has domain domain.com will be rewrited to a local file on a server, that is outside of current folder. Let me explain folder structure here:
/
sub/
-- subdomain/
-- test/
---- index.html
web/
Currently everything from www.domain.com goes to /sub/subdomain. In the .htaccess file in /sub/subdomain I want to reroute the request to /sub/test/index.html. So in my .htaccess file in sub/subdomain folder I've tried this:
#start masked redirect
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .. /test/index.html [L]
#end masked redirect
# 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
Yes, I'm doing all this on top of Wordpress, which I don't really believe matters, but just to be sure I'm posting it.
Unfortunatelly I get Internal Server Error 500
What am I doing wrong, please?
Also: Please don't ask me why I am doing it like this, it has a reason, I'm not uncovering the whole thing I'm trying to do as it is irrelevant to this problem and I really want to focus on this issue here. I just want to know how to fix my .htaccess and it has to be this way. Thank you for your understanding.
This should be in sub/subdomain/.htaccess file
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\. [NC]
RewriteRule !^test/index\.html$ /test/index.html [L,NC]
# 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

I need a Wordpress folder to NOT be case sensitive without writing 200 redirects

I have a blog set up at blog.ftj.com/ACSM, it is hosted with Bluehost and their folder structures seem to be case sensitive. Is there something in the .htaccess file that I can adjust so that all possible combinations get redirected to the specific uppercase URL.
Another issue is that it seems that I need to redirect
blog.ftj.com/acsm/
with and without the forward slash.
Here is my current .htaccess file
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /ACSM/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /ACSM/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Please submit the full change if you would.
You need to place the following .htaccess in the root dir to rewrite all requests to /ACSM into /acsm
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/acsm$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /ACSM [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/acsm/(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^acsm/(.*)$ /ACSM/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Sorry for delays, have not got an Apache at hands....

htaccess 301 redirect example.com/beta/xyz to example.com/xyz

I need a general rule that maps every URL in the /beta subdirectory to the corresponding URL in the root; essentially I need to remove /beta from all URLs.
In case it makes any difference, the URLs are dynamically generated by WordPress.
Currently my .htaccess file is:
# 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
Can you tell me where to put the new lines?
Thank you!
Could you try this?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^beta/(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Your question is not entirely clear, but I would bet that what you want is having a Wordpress installed in somedir/beta appear in yoursite.com/ instead of yoursite.com/beta/. The rules you pasted are in somedir/beta/.htaccess, and are the default Wordpress rules. You must leave those alone.
What you need for that is to put the following rules in the root directory, as in, somedir/.htaccess, after changing example.com to your own domain. Your webserver first reads this root .htaccess, and when it does, it will know to rewrite requests to /beta.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/beta/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /beta/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ beta/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
