bugle

I have this same problem but the upload fails even if I log in, it just places the blog frontpage in the upload window. I thought it may be a conflict with other image plugins like photopress but doesn’t look like it…

Ugh. Messy. This will break a lot of the pages on my main site. ??

Okay, I fixed it. Since WP 1.5 had the desired behaviour, I took the .htaccess from the 1.5 backup dreamhost makes automatically and replaced wp 2.0’s htaccess with the older version, and I now have access to the stats folder.

I dunno if this will break other things, but it looks like so far it hasn’t.

Yay for me!

Ah, right, I guess that will work too.

Heh, well I’m happy with them, so let’s not get into that.

It’s a fake url, wp 1.5 respected it before (Once I told it to put permalinks in a subdirectory /archives that is) but now it doesn’t.

Real directories are OK. Hm, I’ll see if I can find a “real url” for the stats script and look at it there

Incidentally, you want to put your stats in a protected directory, else you’ll give free PR to referrer spammers.

Tried adding

RewriteCond%{REQUEST_URI}!^/path/to/excluded/files

this doesn’t work because the directory is virtual too…

So am I getting no replies because this is blindingly obvious to fix or because it’s too difficult? I’ve searched around and the only suggestion I’ve found was to switch off the permalink structure, look at the stats then switch it on again, which is less than ideal.

Any idea how I can manually edit the .htaccess so it will respect that directory?

If you go with dreamhost use the promo code BATTY it gives you a 50$ discount. I’ve been with them for a year and I’m happy enough. WP is available as a 1 click install, and recently they added a one click upgrade too (Which is nice since I really hate upgrading scripts on my sites).
