This codex solved my problem:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Pages#Making_your_blog_appear_in_a_non-root_folder

I almost have this working. A summary:

I had wordpress installed in /blog, with nothing in the root (/) – just a static HTML – nothing wordpress related. So, all my posts have the form /blog/2007/01/01/post1, or /blog/about, etc.

I now want WordPress to drive the whole site, starting from the root, while maintaining my old URL structure for posts.

– I moved WP to /wp
– I copied the index.php to /
– I edited index.php to find the settings file
– I changed the option in WP to have / as the blog url
– I changed the permalink to append /blog at the beginning

It works except for one thing: /blog no longer works, since the main page is now in the root: /.

Old URLs to posts work, such as /blog/2007/01/01/post1
But specifiying JUST /blog no longer works.

Do I need to create a page called “blog”, or add a custom index.php file to a “blog” directory?

Thanks.

Okay, having the static front-page seems straight-forward. I can’t imagine it going smoothly though, where the installation is in /blog.

I haven’t taken the time to experiment with it yet; I should do that first.

Thanks.

An update: there are now over 1200 comments for that post (up from the 300 I posted above).

Note that the original URL for it has changed.

One of these days I’ll HAVE to disable comments for that post, or something.

Haha – EVERYONE who’s EVER played guitar seems to be mentioned at some point in the comments, including Angus (lots of times for him).

The thread moshu posted describes exactly what’s occurring with my site. I can’t ban all the IPs because they change when I ban them, and there’s no obvious IP pattern the attacker is using. I like the “tar pit” idea. I’ll post any solution I come up with.

That doesn’t do what I asked.
I want to return all the fields for the comments (there could be more than one) that have the longest length. Your query merely returns the comment’s content that has the maximum length.

Yeah, that’s what I want: a guestbook. Is there a hack for WordPress to implement that, or can someone let me know where to find code for it? Nothing complicated; it’s essentially a comment page, but the post associated with it doesn’t show up as a post; it’s a standalone post on its own page.
