404 problems with installation in a sub-directory

  • Hi there

    Maybe someone could help me with a small problem I have?
    I have a WordPress site installed in the subdirectory /main/
    I have follow the codex instructions on copying the .htaccess file and index.php into the root folder and editing the index accordingly.
    My site works perfectly and rewrites all my page and blog URL’s without /main/ ??

    Now for the problem

    If I enter https://www.mydomain.com/ficticious I get a 404 page YAY!
    If I enter https://www.mydomain.com/main I get a 404 page YAY!

    If I enter https://www.mydomain.com/main/ficticious WordPress renders a page that looks like a post, but with a date of Nov 30 -0001, uncategorized category and not a lot else.

    I assume the problem I have can be resolved by adding a rule to the .htaccess, but I can’t for the life of me work out what.

    Anyone? Thank you!!

    I’ve gone back to my original permalink style now.. All least everything on the site works that way.. I guess I’ll have to live with my 404 problem ??

    Thank you for trying to help

    Is that not how wordpress creates them?

    No. It creates dynamic urls that change when you change your permalinks.

    It changes my NAV links etc, but not links I embedded in posts / pages?

    I am still not seeing the default permalink structure on your site…

    I tracked it down to a plugin eventually.. simplybook.me. The plugin only embeds an iframe so was easy to do without..
