Preventing the WordPress .htaccess file rewriting requests from a specific sub-dir

In the subdirectory, in the .htaccess

RewriteEngine off

will turn it off.

If it isn't, then something is wrong with the apache config. It is possible that mod_rewrite is turned off for certain directories, but, that would again be a server config issue. Some hosting companies running on networked storage do have a slight lag for the webserver to pick up that there has been a change to the files in directories, so, it is also possible that the .htaccess with RewriteEngine off hadn't been noticed by apache or the webserver software your server uses.
