How can I change root path with .htaccess?

[iroshiva]

Hi,

I'm struggling to deploy wordplate with apache.

I tried to set the public folder as root in a .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]

I can access to the website, but the assets are not loaded...

Can anyone help me ?

Thx

I would recommend to use a hosting provider where you can set the document root of your project such as Fortrabbit or Laravel Forge. Another option is to edit the Apache configuration instead of .htaccess file.

@iroshiva You should probably take a look at WordPress guidelines re .htaccess. Your RewriteRule was missing index.php for starters.
