Specific rewrite rule on htaccess with negation of word

I was trying to rewrite or redirect a URL with a regular expression based on the negation of a word.

The scenario is as following:

I have a wordpress installed on example.com/wp-blog but the visualization is through API on example.com/blog. I need to disable the access to /wp-blog and redirect it to /blog but preserving the access to /wp-blog/wp-admin.

I try the following condition on htaccess:

RewriteCond ^wp-blog/((?!wp-admin).)*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/$1  [R=301,L]

But with no success.

I also try this:

Redirect 301 ^wp-blog/((?!wp-admin).)*$ /blog/$1

And also this:

RewriteRule ^wp-blog/wp-admin $ /wp-blog/wp-admin $1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^wp-blog/wp-login.php $ /wp-blog/wp-login.php $1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^wp-blog/(?!.*wp-admin)$ /blog/$1 [R=301,L,NC]

I have no success with all combinations I try. So how can I redirect/rewrite /wp-blog to /blog but with access to /wp-blog/wp-admin?

Thank you so much.

You could use request_uri to test if following path is wp-admin then write a rule to rewrite every thing to /blog:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/?wp-blog(?!/wp-admin)
RewriteRule ^/?wp-blog(/.*)? blog$1 [R=301,L]

No need to do anything with .htaccess, all you can be done with WordPress directly.

its can be done in two step

Step 1 : on your root create index.php with below content

<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog/wp-blog-header.php' ); /** here wp-blog is place as your folder name */

Step 2 : now change "staging.domain.com" to "staging.domain.com/wp-blog" in your database ( for this download sql > open & edit for replace > upload new sql ).

Now you full site run on staging.domain.com URL but files are call from "wp-blog" folder.
