WordPress in Subdirectory – Strange Error

  • I’ve had WordPress in a sub-directory for a couple of years now. Everything worked perfectly. However, I recently updated from 2.9.1 to the most recent verion, 3.2.1. That’s when the trouble started.

    When I try to go to my blog, it shows the error “Not Found”.

    I’ve checked to make sure that my settings are correct.

    Under “WordPress address (URL)”, it shows my blog url: https://www.senorwooly.com/blog

    Under “Site address (URL)”, it shows my main site’s url: https://www.senorwooly.com

    I’ve also got my .htaccess in the root folder. Also, all my pages in the root directory have the wp-blog-header file.

    Everything else works fine. I can go to my dashboard, and all my root pages seem to be tapping into WordPress just fine. I just can’t see the blog itself.

    Any ideas?

  • Have you try rebuilding your .htaccess?

    This is what I have in my .htaccess:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    By the way, I’ve checked every tutorial I can find online on how to install wordpress in a sub-directory.

    They all say the same thing.

    Change your WordPress address (URL). Done.
    Change your Site address (URL). Done.
    Move your .htaccess to root folder. Done.
    Add ‘require(‘./blog/wp-blog-header.php’); to the top of every page. Done.

    The only thing I haven’t done is to load the WordPress index.php into the root directory. However, I don’t want to do that, since it would delete the index.php file that I’m already using at the root of my site.

    I have just reinstalled twice, once automatically and once manually. No change.

    Every tutorial online about installing WordPress in a sub-directory makes the same assumption — that you want to install it in a sub-directory, but that you want it to appear in your root.

    That’s NOT what I want. I want the blog to be installed and to run in the root directory.

    Can anyone help on this?
