sorry – just a post to discontinue following the thread via email

fixed

had to un-install and re-install to fix the index.php and .htaccess files but still had same problem.
Under SETTINGS – GENERAL – i had wordpress location listed as ever2weeksandaday.com/blog and the “site URL” without the /blog
FIXED problem by simply adding the /blog to the “site URL” under SETTINGS – GENERAL

yes, i intended to integrate a “main site” with a “blog tab” that would direct to the wordpress blog – – might have been able to acheive the same thing with a custom static front page, but being new to this, and being familiar with “old fashioned HTML” and not wanting to spend alot of money, i just made a simple “static web site” that i wanted to include a “blog” with it

ok, i un-installed and re-installed wordpress to clean up any files that i may have messed up.
i tried again with wordpress loaded in 4ever2weeksandaday.com/blog
same problem.
under settings-general, i had the blog listed as 4ever2weeksandaday.com/blog
and had the “site url” listed as 4ever2weeksandaday.com
i added the /blog to the ‘site url’ and everything looks like it is working now

my web page is https://www.4ever2weeksandaday.com and my blog is in https://www.4ever2weeksandaday.com/blog
i followed the info regarding the index.php and the .htaccess but left the permalinks “as is” because i was not sure how they should be set.
i think now that maybe that was my problem – BUT, before your post, i had played with the .htaccess and index.php files and i think i messed them up. i re-copied the index.php from the /blog to the root – now nothing works.
do i need to uninstall wordpress and then re-install ?
if so, what files do i need to manually delete from the root? the un-install will take care of everything in the /blog folders.

very sorry about that – i am new to this.
made new post – tks

btw, my site is https://www.4ever2weeksandaday.com and wordpress is located same place plus /blog
brand new to this – so try not to be too harsh on me

i am having a somewhat similar issue. i installed wordpress into root/blog and the mainpage/homepage/frontpage of the blog seemed to display ok. so i made a sample post and when i clicked on “view post” i got a 404 error. i checked the /blog folder and it had index.php and .htaccess but the root directory only had .htaccess so i copied (not moved) the index.php from the /blog into the root. now when i make a sample post, and click on “view post” it comes up just fine, however back on my main/home/front it does not show my new post or any posts. any suggestions? am i missing another file in the root ?
