Hi , This is good and exactly what I need . Can you please let me know how to add reverproxy.php in the code or include . I am new to wordpress . Thanks a lot for the response.

HI, I cannot recommend the usage of this if you aren't not an expert Wordpress user. It's an advanced technique and will likely require ongoing maintenance and changes.

Thanks for quick reply . Please let me know upgrade challenges . If you have any document please share . Also I tried the solution with minimal change it worked . I also like to understand better about this code before taking decision. Thanks again helping on this issue

Hi James, I just stumbled upon your code which seems to align with what I'm trying to achieve.
I have 2 questions if you don't mind:
1- do you change the site_url and home_url on the origin site to be "finalsite.com/blog" or do you leave those as originsite.com ?
2- how do you get assets from wp-content to not throw 404 errors when accessed via the RP URL (finalsite.com/blog/wp-content/...) since they physically live on originsite.com/wp-content/...

Thank you,
