“Edit this” link

  • I have my blog URI different from my WP URI (general options, 3rd and 4th form field).
    Although I’m authenticated within every page in the WP-dir, the “Edit this” link does not show up in /index.php .
    /index.php does a require('wordpress/wp-blog-header.php'); so the environment should get set correctly. Shouldn’t it? I guess “$user_level” gets lost somewhere…

    Ah, I see. Thanks for pointing it out, that answers my question.

    No problem.

    So I wonder, how *are* cookies implemented in WordPress, and where should I start hacking to make it work ?

    It was fixed long ago, that page needs to be updated. You may need to delete cookies after changing the index location to get everything working.

    Hm, I did. They still don’t show up. Was this fixed in 1.2, or in a CVS version ?
    Also, should i put wp-login.php in the root, or can I just keep it inside the wordpress directory ? In my case, I’ve put index.php in / (root) and all wp stuff under /wp.

    Sorry, apparently, it was fixed in 1.2 Mingus. Apparently, I logging into the admin interface wasn’t enough. I had to load wp/wp-login.php explicitly, and log in there. That page occasionally redirected me to the admin ‘post’ page immediately, so it was a rather confusing task. Also, when I click ‘logout’ from the admin interface, I am not logged out.
    Using Firefox 0.9. I am confused.

    I’ve tracked down some of the inconsistencies that I am experiencing. I access my webserver through https://www.crossbar.net. This an alias for zeroth.crossbar.net. When looking at the stored cookies on my system, I have two sets for wordpress. One that uses https://www.crossbar.net (created when I first ran wp/wp-login.php), and another that uses zeroth.crossbar.net (created when I clicked an ‘edit this’ link, which referred me to wp/wp-login.php again).
    PS. Sorry about all the messages in this thread. Please let me know if I’d better post somewhere else.

    Just wondering if anyone has figured this out since this conversation last concluded . . . I’m writing from the summer of 2005 and all of the above are back in 2004 on version 1.2. I just recently posted about it and got some feedback directing me to this caveat but somebody above says that this caveat is outdated.

    Any ideas on how it is outdated or any basic explanations about why it doesn’t work/why it’s too hard to fix?

    Thanks and sorry for buggin,
