Try the folllowing solution, it works for me.I hope this will work for you too.

1. BEFORE DOING ANYTHING - BACKUP YOUR DB!

2. Now, go into wordpress > settings > permalinks

3. Set it to one of the pretty permalink settings like //year/month/'

4. Open a text editor on your PC/Mac and open the .htaccess file you downloaded from your webserver

5. Find this piece of code

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

6. Replace it with this piece of code, courtesy of Scott Yang:

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
      RewriteEngine On
      RewriteBase /
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
   </IfModule>
   

7. Upload this code into the main domain root directory on your server and you're done.

Everything should work

As RC already said, .* will also match addnew/. And since the L flag causes a reinjection of the rewritten rule, you will get an infinite recursion.

So adjust the rule so it doesn’t match your addnew/:

RewriteRule !^addnew/ addnew%{REQUEST_URI}

---

.*matches addnew/. Try with:

RewriteRule ^[^/]*$ addnew/$0
