Link Redirected in Navigation

    I hope someone can help me with this. I have searched and tried everything I can think of but have had no success.

    This is the situation:

    I move my install from a subdomain to the main root site directory “mydomain.com”. I am using wordpress as a CMS for this site that also includes a blog page. Everything is working fine except my navigational link to the blog page.

    When I click on the link about it goes to “www.mydomain.com/about” This works the same for the other pages like home, contact, and FAQ’s except for the page labeled blog.

    When I hover over the link to the blog page it shows the correct path at the bottom of the browser. Once I click it the path at the bottom switches to the subdomains address “blog.mydomain.com/blog” (it’s being re-directed to the subdomain). The blog.mydomain.com/blog page is then rendered. The weird thing is the path in the address bar is mydomain.com/blog and not the path to the page that is actually being seen.

    I don’t want any part of the site to use the subdomain anymore. I need to delete the subdomain and only use the root directory for the entire site.

    I’m also using permalinks. If I use the default selection, the blog link seems to go to the blog file on mydomain.com/blog rather than the subdomain as intended. But I need to use pretty permalinks showing the pages name and when set to do that the blog link malfunctions.

    Things I have tried:

    I deleted the .htaccess file info and had WP re-generate it by re-saving the permalink info. Prior to doing this I set permissions to 666 and also tried 777 on the .htaccess file.

    I have run a “find and replace search” on all directory files looking for traces of the subdomain name and found nothing.

    I did a search in the database and also found no traces of the subdomain. Every thing was switched to the root directories domain name “mydomain.com”

    Please, does anyone know how the link to my blog page is directing me to and loading the subdomain file and still showing the correct file path to the root directory in the browsers address bar?

    Thank you!!!!!!!!

  • I have found when moving WordPress traces of old locations are often left in the database. Go into phpMyAdmin and do a search in your database for blog.mydomain.com If you find any occurrences of that phrase, you of course have to edit and change them.

    I did do a database search via phpMyAdmin when I moved it and made the necessary changes. I performed several more searches and found no traces of blog.mydomain.com. It just does not make any sense. I have also searched all root files using Dreamweaver also finding no traces of the subdomain.

    Any other suggestions on what to do?

    Problem Solved:
    I deleted the subdomain and re-saved permalinks. Go figure?
