Wicked. Piece of cake. Didn’t need to leave a htaccess file in the /blog directory either. Just added the code to the main htaccess file (which I’d moved to root). Thanks.

Great, will try it. Thanks.

Yeah that would get a reader to my front page instead of a 404 error page (right?) but what I’m hoping I can do is configure htaccess to redirect each and every existing link to its relative page at my new address. For example:

mydomain.com/blog/post100 —> mydomain.com/post100
mydomain.com/blog/post101 —> mydomain.com/post101
mydomain.com/blog/post102 —> mydomain.com/post102
… and so on.

Is this possible?

Thanks for the comprehensive response Kafkaesqui.

Yes <h1>hello world</h1> works.

This is indeed the only code I had on the page. I thought that was all I needed:

<?php
require_once("blog/wp-blog-header.php");
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
?>

Okay, thanks. Do you know what purpose ‘post_parent’ serves, if any at this point? More broadly, will anything break if posted images do not have a post_parent?

And, more specifically, if I change my URI from mydomain.com/blog to mydomain.com/ will anything get broken, since my images are linked manually.

I started using WP-Gatekeeper which reduced my spam to zero, and it requires no maintenance on my part. Readers that are not logged in need to answer a simple question. Couldn’t be easier. Highly recommended.

This problem still exists in v2. I’ve updated the ticket.

We really should be using the <q> element for quotemarks.

Thanks Nookster, do I still need to do this even if I’m using index.php as opposed to index.html

Still get a blank page. kickass, the thread you point to doesn’t appear to give different advice to what I’ve already done. Yes I’m trying to call parts of my blog to my root index page. I’ve tried this code, as per the thread you pointed to:

<?php
require_once("blog/wp-blog-header.php");
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
?>

But it’s still showing a blank page??

Still get a blank page. And not only that if I try to view the page source of /index.php in my web browser it appears blank, when it’s not as far as my FTP app and Dreamweaver are concerned.

I’m just uploading v2.0 beta 1 of phpmyvisites to my site too. I assume too that the best place to add this script is the header?

Anyone know when WordPress 1.6 is due out?

Oh yeah and if you’re on Mac OS X, Marsedit wins hands down: https://ranchero.com/marsedit/
