rewrite exception

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\/?$ showuser.php?username=$1

how do i make this exclude certain folders? for example, right now anything after the .com/ in the URL will process as showuser.php and i need to exclude /blog and /admin from that

Hi, try :

RewriteCond $1 !^\/(blog|admin)\/?

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\/?$ showuser.php?username=$1

My bad. Removing first slash maybe solving it:

RewriteCond $1 !^(blog|admin)\/?
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\/?$ showuser.php?username=$1
