Wordpress with Laravel running on subfolder

Laravel site reading have

RewriteBase /

So the best way I think you need create one sub-domain for Laravel site.

But you still can try configure your .htaccess follow this:

1. Create a class to point to new location

Create a new file shared_hosting_root\applications\your_app_root\app\GoPublic.php

class GoPublic extends \Illuminate\Foundation\Application
{
    /**
    * Get the path to the public / web directory.
    *
    * @return string
    */
    public function publicPath()
    {
    return $this->basePath.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'../../public_html/your_app_name';
    }
}

We’re using relative path here so you don’t have to know the absolute path. But it is extremely crucial to follow the same recommended folder structure I’ve mentioned earlier.

You may need to run the following command in your root folder to autoload the new class. Otherwise you will get an error saying the class cannot be found.

composer dump-autoload

2. Edit bootstrap\app.php

   /* -- remove/comment this original code
   $app = new Illuminate\Foundation\Application(
    realpath(__DIR__.'/../')
   );
   -- until here */
   
   /* -- add this new code -- */
   $app = new App\GoPublic(
    realpath(__DIR__.'/../')
   );
   

3. Edit public\index.php

Change

require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';

To

require __DIR__.'/../../applications/your_app_name/bootstrap/autoload.php';

Change

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';

To

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../../applications/your_app_name/bootstrap/app.php';

4. Copy public to public_html

Now, copy the content inside applications\your_app_name\public into public_html\your_app_name.

To simplify the process, I would create a bash file to automatically copy the files to the new location.

Create a new file shared_hosting_root\applications\your_app_name\deploy.sh

#!/bin/bash
echo "Copy public folder to public_html/your_app_name"
rsync -rv ./public/ ../../public_html/your_app_name

Using rsync ensures that if you ever run this deploy.sh several times, only those that are newer will be copied to the new location.

When you’re ready to run it, in the terminal run:

?> cd applications\your_app_name
?> sh deploy.sh

Caution: You have to run deploy.sh within applications\your_app_name, otherwise it will fail.

5. Configure your .htaccess

Change your .htaccess follow this

# Do not change this line. 
RewriteEngine on 

# Change example.com to your domain name
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$ 

# Change your_app_name to the subfolder name
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/your_app_name/ 

# Don't change the following two lines. 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 

# Change your_app_name to the subfolder name
# Change example.com to your domain name
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /your_app_name/$1 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$ 
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ your_app_name/index.php [L]

Hope this help!
