Ok, so then start with putting the files of your site into the directory “minisite” instead of the root (where all your WordPress files are).

Your WordPress site might think that http://www.xyz.com/minisite is actually a page called “minisite” so you probably have to do some additional work in .htaccess file. Something like this should be added above the WordPress stuff:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/minisite/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
</IfModule>

From a structural point of view though, it might be better to have the WordPress site also in a subdirectory on your root as well, something like this:

• yoursite.com/
  • wordpress/
  • minisite/

And then following this process, you can make sure that http://www.yoursite.com makes the user go to http://www.yoursite.com/wordpress automatically (so you won’t see the “wordpress” in the URL).
