I don't understand why you are worried about the .htaccess files.I have two domains, both secured with SSL, both with WordPress installations in the root directories and both with multiple osTicket installations in various subfolders.I have never put even a moments thought into how WordPress and osTicket would co-exist, nor have I ever mucked about with .htaccess files for this reason.Either I am totally missing something here, or @[deleted] perhaps you are overthinking your setup.Are you trying to keep your WordPress site unencrypted?! If yes, why not simply encrypt everything?!
