XF 2.1 Moving XenForo from root to subfolder

[Saido]

Hello, I want to move my xenforo from root to a subdomain (community), because I want to install wordpress as home page, I tried to move it and it works but every time that I clicked a indexed url from Google I got 404 error, so my question is how can a I create a redirection from :

https://www.swmania.com/temas/xiaom...press-por-solo-57-euros-con-este-cupon.13943/

To :

https://www.swmania.com/community/temas/xiaomi-amazfit-pace-un-smartwatch-con-gps-y-wifi-rebajadisimo-en-aliexpress-por-solo-57-euros-con-este-cupon.13943/


This is my wordpress .htaccess file

#    Mod_security can interfere with uploading of content such as attachments. If you
#    cannot attach files, remove the "#" from the lines below.
#<IfModule mod_security.c>
#    SecFilterEngine Off
#    SecFilterScanPOST Off
#</IfModule>

ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 500 default

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.swmania\.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.swmania.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    #    If you are having problems with the rewrite rules, remove the "#" from the
    #    line that begins "RewriteBase" below. You will also have to change the path
    #    of the rewrite to reflect the path to your XenForo installation.
    #RewriteBase /xenforo

    #    This line may be needed to enable WebDAV editing with PHP as a CGI.
    #RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^(data/|js/|styles/|install/|favicon\.ico|crossdomain\.xml|robots\.txt) - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>

And this is my WordPress .htaccess

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

I tried but it broke this addon, because it redirects everything to community folder

I don't use that add-on so can't comment on what custom changes would be required to account for it.

@Saido
I am wanting to do the same as you. I want to put wordpress in root and xenforo in a community sub directory. Do I use your rewrite rules?
