.com to .org migration – url problem

  • Background: I have 3 blogs running via WP.org under a single domain.

    I also have had a WP.com blog that I successfully imported (using Aaron Brazell’s plugin) to a new WP.org blog also under the same domain.

    The domain is cranialcavity.net. The migrated blog should be cranialcavity.net/motorsports and that is how it’s displayed on the options page in the “WordPress address (URI)” and “Blog address (URI)” blocks.

    However if you call up that url it displays the index page of the base url, cranialcavity.net which is one of the other blogs on the domain.

    I attempted to change the url in the “WordPress address (URI)” block to read cranialcavity.net/motorsports/index.php and after the change it bounces you to the correct blog but it contains no styling just plain text.

    I have since emptied the database and reinstalled and await a possible solution to this problem.

    Any ideas?

    1. It doesn’t seem to matter how the permalinks are set in the root blog. And to clarify, the only blog that is having the problem is one just imported from WP.com. The other three on the domain are ok.

    2. I’ll give the almost pretty idea a shot. I have been reluctant to mess with the options section again. Last time I did it trashed the entire blog and I had to clear the database and reimport data from WP.com blog.

    For everyones general interest this problem was solved via finally getting the .htaccess code entered correctly.

    Specifically a modification of spencerp’s code above.

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /motorsports/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /motorsports/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^motorsports.cranialcavity.net$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.motorsports.cranialcavity.net$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://cranialcavity.net/motorsports/index.php [R=301,L]
