Thank you for your reply; I will certainly check this out. ??

@stvwlf: I know there is more to be done than the rewrite rules. I just don’t know what rules to apply.

@figaro: Thank you, but I know how to move the blog between the root and sub-directories. As my first post implies, I need to know what rewrite rules to apply to my .htaccess file in order for visitors to be redirected to the new location when trying to access the original URL.

Thanks.

Worked perfect, Michael! Thanks!!

One last request:

How can I get the category name to appear above the list of posts within that category?

I sketched it here: https://lineolatedparakeet.net/blog/wp-content/themes/freshcitrus/images/screen.png

Thanks Michael, that worked.

However, it also shows only the title on the homepage. I want it to be this way only when a user is viewing a list of all posts within a category.

Regards,
Nick

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the links.

I’m still having trouble; those pages make it seem too complicated.

I made it to this page: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Category_Templates

The first step in modifying what happens when someone visits a Category page is to figure out which of your theme’s files is going to be used to display the posts. This is known as the Template Hierarchy.

In the case of categories, the hierarchy is fairly simple. For instance, suppose the ID number of the Category in question is 6. The Template Hierarchy specifies that WordPress will use the first Template file it finds in your current Theme’s directory from the following list:

1. category-6.php
2. category.php
3. archive.php
4. index.php

Since I don’t have the first three template files listed, so I’m now looking in the index.php file. The problem is that I don’t see anything related to categories in that file… so I’m at a loss as to what to do.

Here is my index.php file:

`<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id=”main-wrapper”>
<div id=”left”>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<h2 id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<div class=”meta-data”>
<span class=”auth-date”>Author: <?php the_author();?> | Posted: <?php the_time(‘d-m-Y’); ?></span>
<span class=”comments-no”><?php comments_popup_link(‘0’, ‘1’, ‘%’); ?></span>
</div>

<div class=”entry”>
<?php the_content(‘Continue reading »’); ?>
</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<div id=”post-links”>
<span class=”prev-entries”><?php next_posts_link(‘Previous Entries’) ?></span>
<span class=”next-entries”><?php previous_posts_link(‘Next Entries’) ?></span>
</div>

<?php else : ?>

<h2>Not Found</h2>
<p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.</p>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>
<?php get_sidebar();?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>`

Any further assistance is appreciated.

Don’t feed the troll; just stop replying to him. ??

As Meesha said, there is something conflicting. The code that’s in your .htaccess file is correct and should result in working permalinks.
Is that the only code in your .htaccess file or is there something else in it?

It seems that a lot of people come across this issue. I found this blog that solved my issue: https://perishablepress.com/press/2006/06/14/the-htaccess-rules-for-all-wordpress-permalinks/

Scroll down that post and you will find two variations of a code to use. The first one is to use if your blog is in the root of the domain, and the second is to use if it’s in a sub-directory.

I just replaced my entire .htaccess file with the code they provided, and voila! The permalinks without /index.php worked for me ?? [[Always backup your current .htaccess file before editing it, just in case something goes wrong]]

Lem4, it worked for me too! Now I don’t have to rely on that plugin to work for me. ??

I can’t believe we didn’t try that before. lol

Tried it all. Disabled all my plug-ins (I dont have the seo, or the tinymce, or the flash plug-in) – nothing. cleared cache on the blog, and both on my browsers and my comp. Then tried the full delete and fresh install.. nothing works.

I do not have editing buttons on my editor, new or old posts.
The editor will only stay on what seems to be the HTML editor, and if I dare to click the HTML tab again the whole edit box collapses and wont come back until I refresh the page.
Also, on the little “Page options” button in the top right – I have to check the slug box every time anew.

Havent tried installing it on a different folder, didnt see a valid reason for that since I deleted the whole thing and installed again.

..There must be something more general behind this.

Any other suggestions maybe?

This is the exact problem I was having. I did indeed find a solution. Although we should be being provided with a fix by WP (if it is a WP problem and not a local problem).
All I did was install a plugin called “TinyMCE Advanced“, and now I have all of the editing/formatting buttons when creating or editing posts/pages.
I’m so glad that I found a solution because it was getting extremely annoying to have to hand-code each post.

I think this deserves it’s own new thread… It’s not completely related to this issue.

I have a specific problem with the visual editor:

I cannot create a link using the built in editor, no matter what permissions I give to anything, even 777 to all WP directories and files. When I press the link button in the built-in editor (the Visual part of the editor, not the HTML part of the editor), I get this error in a window that pops up in the middle of the browser:

FORBIDDEN – You don’t have permission to access /wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/link.htm on this server.

Any thoughts? I am using Safari 3.x, but this happens with Firefox as well.

Thanks.

Those troubleshooting tips mentioned here do not work for me.
I have disabled all of my plugins to no avail.

I do not know what to try next. This is a fresh install of WordPress 2.7.

I’m having this same issue and the only plugins I have installed are Akismet and NextGEN Gallery.
I will try the TinyMCE troubleshooting tips and see if that works.

Thanks so much, it worked ??

I really appreciate your help.
