Need to have custom post type urls at same one level down from the blog subdirectory?

[ad_1]

WordPress has been installed in a subdirectory like so [mysite.com/blog/])

There is a html site located here [mysite.com])

All new blog posts urls look simular to this [mysite.com/blog/]

A user wants to add additional custom post types, but at one level down. Like so

[mysite.com/news])

[mysite.com/careers])

Can this be achived with the current wordpress install with some tweaking with url rewrites using the .htaccess file?

Currently if the user adds a new custom post type it is located here:

[mysite.com/blog/careers])

[mysite.com/blog/news])

The user does not want the /blog/ directory to show.

​

Again, this wordpress install is in a subdirectory and can not be located in the home directory, another system lives there. So please do not suggest wordpress gets moved to the home directory as that is not a option.

ps. i tried another method, coverting the site to WordPress mu, then manually creating directories with a htaccess file, and then creating sub-blogs at the same level as /blog/ this works, but i don’t think this is good practice, so i restored the previous site. I have a guide as to how to achieve this if anyone wants to know.

[mysite.com/blog/]) mu installation

[mysite.com/site1]) Mu sub site 1

[mysite.com/site2]) Mu sub site 2

[mysite.com/site3]) Mu sub site 3
