I have wordpress installed on a root directory. Wordpress was often so slow, I created a node script which will look at all pages on the website, and a create a static directory for each one with an index.html file.
Before making them static, the directory looks like
/wp-content
/wp-includes
/etc etc etc
After
/wp-content
/wp-includes
/etc etc etc
/page-with-same-url-from-wordpress
/index.html
If I then visit mysite.com/page-with-same-url-from-wordpress/, I am served up the static page. Great, and it loads quick.
The issue is that when I go back to edit the page on wordpress, and want to preview any edits, I still see the overriding index.html content instead of the actual wordpress php content. I see why, but as a workaround, when I want to edit a file, I now need to delete the /page-with-same-url-from-wordpress/ dir which will allow me to see the wordpress changes in preview mode, and when I am done, I run the node script and it creates the /page-with-same-url-from-wordpress/ dir again.
Is there any type of rewrite rule I could add to the .htaccess file that would allow the server to always serve the index.html file UNLESS I am viewing the url in preview mode (which looks like mysite.com/page-with-same-url-from-wordpress/?preview_id=2313
I really appreciate any insight. Thank you.
Relevant part from .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
