Root domain affecting subdomain

Newbie here.. any help will be greatly appreciated

[Fernando]

Hi all,
I have read a similar message string but I am very new to this and didn't understand a word of it so I am posting it as a new message (sorry if it is a duplicate).
I have two blogs hosted by wordpress:
www.example.com
www.example.com/turkce
I have changed my permalink structure for .com and updated the .htaccess file accordingly. I tried to do the same for .com/turkce but it doesn't work because the root domain rewrite rule affects the rewrite rule for the subdomain.
Here is what I added to my htaccess file for .com:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
When I add the similar for .com/turkce underneath, it doesn't work, all post titles for .com/turkce get directed to post titles of .com.
Should I create and add another htaccess file for the subdomain? Or add a code inside the above rule? If so, should I add the rewrite rule for .com/turkce underneath afterwards?
Please help!
Many thanks in advance!

It isn't clear if these two blogs are on two domains sharing one hosting account, or if the second blog is simply located in a subdirectory, and both blogs share the same domain.

However, you can do one of two things:

Add a RewriteCond testing %{HTTP_HOST} (or testing %{REQUEST_URI} for requests to the second blog's subdirectory, as applicable) to your main blog's rules so that they will only be applied for the main blog, followed by a similar rewriterule-set for the subdirectory-blog, or

Put the directive

 RewriteOptions none 

in the .htaccess file for the blog in the subdirectory. This will disable processing of your homepage-directory .htaccess file for requests made to this subdirectory.

Jim - Thanks for responding. I am sorry for not being clear. Maybe I used the wrong term by calling the second blog a subdomain... They are sharing the same hosting. When I log into my cpanel, there is a file under public html called turkce for my domain www.example.com/turkce. It does not have a htaccess file on its own. There is a single htaccess file and I tried to add rewrie rules for /turkce within that file.
So should I create a new htaccess file for /turkce? And can you be more specific? I am sorry but when you say as applicable I can not understand what you are referring to. It would be great if you can tell me like: put the following code at this location...
I hope I am not a headache.
