 Hello,

 Thanks for your answer.

 I was talking about a **subdomain** install, in regard to comment #51 on
 this thread:


 {{{
 RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) - [L]
 RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ - [L]
 }}}


 This condition is what is not being met:

 \\ The WordPress virtual/pretty permalink system depends on the web server
 passing any non-existent URLs on to WP to handle.

 Those urls are being passed to Apache directly.

 It's crazy a 10 year old bug like this is not yet resolved.

 Hopefully anyone can fix this soon.

 Regards!
