wordpress - Changing the Display URL Using Mod Rewrite -

i need change display url

 www.site.com/blog/events/  

to

 www.site.com/events/ 

i have installed wordpress in

/blog/ directory , have installed plug-in /events/ dynamic event management.

basically, want rid of /blog in url when /events/ occurs in url.

i have tried various rewrite rules using .htaccess file none of rules worked out.

also, there 2 .htaccess files (the first .htaccess file default file found in root path of web server , other default wordpress .htaccess file presents inside /blog/ directory).

i little confused on .htaccess file need try url mod rewrite rule.

how using url mod rewrite conditional rule?

please me see light. support appreciated!

thanks in advance...

try code in htaccess root directory :

rewriteengine on rewriterule ^events/(.*)$ /blog/events/$1 

the first line allows rewrite url. second line check if url begin "events/", , if it's case, server going files in real "blog/events/" directorie.
