Wouldn’t you have to reset the permissions every time you wanted/needed to adjust the Permalinks?

I’ve got it to work, thanks. But something odd occurred. First I saved an empty page called ‘blog’ and set that as the default posts page. When I tried to call it up, I got an “Index of . . . ” broken page. I tried again, this time making a file named ‘test’ and it worked properly. Is there some reason that a file name of ‘blog’ shouldn’t be used?

Also, I tried to find something about this in the Codex, but couldn’t. Does anybody know of any documentation on this? If someone hadn’t told me about creating an empty Page to do this, I would have never guessed it.

Thanks for the help. Yes, finally, I’m done with this.

Okay, so now I’m thinking maybe I just leave the blog page as default in the settings, and add an .htaccess that will redirect https://www.ourdomain.net/ to the home page.

I’ve tried

Redirect 301 /addiva.net https://www.addiva.net/home/

and

DirectoryIndex /home/

and all kind of variations and nothing is working.

The .htaccess on the root reads:

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

#
# END WordPress
#

The index.php reads:

<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

Does that look right? Is there anything else controlling the site’s default page that could be amiss?

I got the wordpress files moved over to the root and everything looks good, except for one small detail. I can either see the static ‘home’ page (by selecting that in the settings > reading) or I can see the blog when requesting either https://www.ourdomain.com or https://www.ourdomain.com/index.php if that’s what I’ve got selected in the settings. I don’t know how to call up the blog when the static page is the default. What should I do?

Re: “Moving WordPress Within Your Site” instructions:

I had already already uploaded a copy of wordpress to the root, getting ready for the move. Should I delete all that and start over? Or can it be salvaged? Other than the wp-content folder and the configs what really changes? Wouldn’t it be the same considerations as upgrading? (I just did that last week on another site.)

The reason I was trying to change those url’s is that presently all our files have the folder name “blog” following the domain name. We want to get rid of that. I tried doing that by altering permalinks individually, but had no luck. Should we just be resolving to move wordpress to the root? Is that the only/best solution, or is there some other way?

Plugins we have active:

• Add Meta Tags
• CaptCha!
• Dean’s FCKEditor For WordPress
• Events
• Events Widget
• Secure and Accessible PHP Contact Form

Any of these look like they could be the problem? Or do we just have to go through and deactivate one at a time, then try posting a comment while logged in as a registered member, and see if we can isolate the problem?

I’ve been troubleshooting our stylesheet for the past four hours, trying to figure out why I can’t get bullets to appear in my sidebar in IE, and/or get rid of the double bullets (one a disc, the other a double angle symbol) in Firefox.

Does anybody know what’s going on? I can’t find any tag anywhere in the stylesheet that would be influencing this.

I works now. I was able to use the permalink address. I used a redirect command instead of a rewrite and it worked. Not sure why.

Okay, I’ve figured out some of this. My wp permalinks are generating to an .htaccess file, which is on the wp root. The .htaccess I’m trying to write is on the site’s root, so I assume there will be no conflict between the two. The only question remaining is, will the permalink address of the page I want to redirec to be good, or do I need to use some other, more primal shall we say, address in the .htaccess file?

Found it! It’s

<ul>
 <?php
 global $post;
 $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=4&offset=1');
 foreach($myposts as $post) :
 ?>
    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
 <?php endforeach; ?>
 </ul>

Does wordpress have a tag that will generate an ~ordered~ list of blog titles/links rather than this unordered one?

But there are no <li>s there. I can’t figure out how to get this tag I found in the codex:

<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=3&format=latest-blogs'); ?>

to output a list instead of a big run on sentence like it is. There’s nothing there to create a list with any kind of line break. I’d settle for a simple <br /> at this point.

That would make it look a little better, but what I’m aiming for is something like:

• It’s not easy being green, especially for ADD women
• ADHD Hummingbirds?
• Proud mom of an ADDiva-in-training

Thanks!
