Wordpress, .htaccess, and mod rewrite question

[tonyparra]

Hello. I have some issues with the mod_rewrite. My situation is i have domain like so with wordpress being installed on the tld www.domain.com. I have .php pages though, that i cant import into wordpress, they are like so www.domain.com/1/page.php, www.domain.com/2/page.php, and so on. I would like to rewrite those .php extensions into .html or .htm. My problem is when i add this rules

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ $1.php [NC]

it doesnt work and i cant log into my wordpress backend. I added that to the .htaccess file on the root level, and didnt touch any of the other wordpress stuff. Anyone know how to properly do this?

I'd attempt to use the pages feature in WordPress if possible, maybe specific 301s if it is just a few pages I want to go elsewhere without losing SEO juice.

this will check to make sure a .html file doesnt exist already

http://www.domain.com/site.php will work as
http://www.domain.com/site.html

as well as dirs

http://www.domain.com/directory/sammy.php will work as
http://www.domain.com/directory/sammy.html

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/.+\.)html$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%1php -f
RewriteRule \.html$ %1php [NC,QSA,L]
