redirect to https:my-sitewp-admin instead of https:my-sitewordpresswp-admin after options updating

I installed my plugin for one of my clients but I got a bug.

In my plugin settings page using the wordpress settings system, when I click on the submit button to activate a license key, the reditection is https://my-site/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=settings-my-plugin&tab=premium&action=activate

instead of https://my-site/wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=settings-my-plugin&tab=premium&action=activate

I searched the problem and this is the result :

echo '<form method="post" action="options.php">'; //initial code - wrong redirection

<input type="hidden" name="_wp_http_referer" value="/wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=settings-my-plugin&amp;tab=premium">//seems to be correct     

admin_url(); //write https://my-site/wordpress/wp-admin/


printf( '<form method="post" action="%soptions.php">', admin_url() ); //same redirection error

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

wordpress/.htaccess

# BEGIN s2Member GZIP exclusions
<IfModule rewrite_module>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /wordpress/
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|\?|&)s2member_file_download\=.+ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|\?|&)no-gzip\=1
    RewriteRule .* - [E=no-gzip:1]
</IfModule>
# END s2Member GZIP exclusions
# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

[root]index.php

<?php //include_once("wordpress/index.php"); ?>

So, how can I resolved this problem to match with any admin url ?

• I don't know why you are making things complex, why don't you move WordPress installation to /WordPress/ instead of root folder. – Arvind Singh Commented Jan 29, 2019 at 9:10
• @ArvindSingh, It´s my client´s project. The ex-developer do this because he kept an old version in a folder on the root as well. But I already resolved it. You can see the solution here. – J.BizMai Commented Jan 29, 2019 at 12:21
• @J.BizMai, could you add the solution as answer here and mark it as solved. So ppl don't need to follow links to other forum(s) and see the question has an answer. – Charles Commented Jan 30, 2019 at 5:58

The solution was :

1. not use the index.php to include the folder /wordpress/
2. not use wordpress/.htaccess

3. use only .htaccess to point to subfolder

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> 
       RewriteEngine On 
       #https
       RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off 
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] 
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?my-site$ 
       #point to subfolder
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wordpress/ 
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wordpress/$1 
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?my-site$ 
       RewriteRule ^(/)?$ wordpress/index.php [L] 
   </IfModule>
