I’m not really sure I understand your question.
The .htaccess file for WordPress should be in the official directory where WordPress is installed.
I can see your WordPress permalinks are working already.
What’s the real problem you’re trying to resolve? What’s not working on your site that you’re trying to fix?

Thank you George.
I am now ready to use this as the primary site for the domain so need to get the .htaccess to redirect the site when just the dom is entered with the sub dir /official/
At the moment to goes to a static page which linked to a Joomla site which has crashed due to php versions, thus the new site.

I have used in root this and it seems to work.
Anything I should add, delete?
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?lonnielee.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/official/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /official/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?lonnielee.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ official/index.php [L]

Subfolders inherit the rules in their parent folder. So as long as the correct directory is being referenced, it should work fine and there’s no need to add/delete anything.
What I don’t know is if any plugin you use that writes to the .htaccess file will look in the parent directory, or will just create a new file in the WordPress directory.
Personally, I would keep the WordPress rules in the WordPress directory, and have a second .htaccess file in the root directory with a single rule to redirect / (or /*) to /official/. But this is a mere preference: if your approach works for you, there’s no need to change it.
Good luck!
