In the directory where WordPress is installed, i editing the .htaccess file and i have add the following line. (CakePHP subdirectory will be called "cake")

Wordpress .htaccess

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase /
 RewriteRule ^cake/(.*)$ /cake/$1 [L,QSA]
 RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

/cake .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteBase /cake
 RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
 RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

/app .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteBase /cake
 RewriteRule ^$ webroot/ [L]
 RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

/app/webroot .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase /cake
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

That’s it. You’re good to go.

Visiting example.com in the browser will open your WordPress website, while example.com/cake/, depending on how you configured it, will open your CakePHP app.
