.htaccess - Hiding the subdirectory using wordpress

When you visit www.meadeauto.com it shows www.meadeauto.com/v2 in the browser URL bar. We want it to show (rewrite): www.meadeauto.com in the URL bar.
We have tried various combinations, including this solution we found on a blog post:
That seemed to change it to meadeauto.com in the url bar, but also broke www.gistroy.com (another domain, which is in the /gis/ folder on our main directory).
