This is the exact problem I’m still having as well. Is anyone using the feedburner plugin? It updates the htaccss, I wonder if that could be doing something?

“WP “hates” that kind of pointings … (You were warned :)”

This is more confusing than “the loop”. It’s like a loop within a loop.

Having spent a better part of the day playing with this, not unenjoyably I might add, I’ve decided to treat my new domain to its own hosting package. Considering the measly cost of these services, you might say that what I’ve been attempting to do is pretty lame.

I’m out.

I moved my first blog’s index and htaccess back to root. Under Options, the WordPress Address URI is set to “www.mydomain.com/wordpress” and the Blog Domain URI is “www.mydomain.com”. My domain hosting control panel points this domain to root “./”. Everything is working normally again.

Second blog installed in subdirectory also, including the index and htaccess. WordPress URI is “www.myotherdomain.com” and Blog URI is also “www.myotherdomain.com”. Domain control panel points this domain to the subfolder where the index and htaccess is located. Everything seems to work except the image upload and display – only the image name shows both in the post editor and blog. Odd that I don’t have to include the subdirectory in the WordPress URI, when I do, the blog and Admin revert to text only. Something to do with htaccess, permalinks, or my domain control panel redirection ? Wierd.?

I’m using the Semiologic Opt-in front page plugin. It includes any post with the category “Blog”. I have that checked as default. Now everything is automatically appears unless I ‘opt-out’ by unchecking the blog category.

Now I just want to hide that category from the post meta data.

I need to modify this to exclude one category:

get_the_category_list(‘, ‘)

I think I need to insert exclude=’cat ID #’ somewhere. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

Ok, did that. Tried to access /fake and got the main page with 404. I guess I don’t have the mod_rewrite installed on the server. I will continue to bug my host. Thanks. phpinfo also does not show it installed.

I have used that .htaccess before. My index and .htaccess is in root, I have WP in a subfolder. Tried it again, no change.

I am not sure if I have mod_rewrite. If I didn’t, wouldn’t that prevent the permalink from working, both with or without /index.php/ showing? Is there a way to confirm, outside of a statement from my host?

BTW, when I Update Permalinks, here is the code WP is telling me to copy:

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

That doesn’t look right to me.

Also, I have an “index.php” in the wp-content folder with this:

<?php
// Silence is golden.
?>

What’s that? In a strange way, as frustrating as this permalink issue is, I’m kinda having fun trying to solve this puzzle. Thanks for all the help.

I’m adding this to the above description:

I do not see the mod_rewrite module.

Thanks

I have a similar problem as Japhy. WP 2.01, I have index.php and .htaccess in root, and the rest in subfolder. Everything works like a charm, mostly. I’m a total newbie at this with enough skills to be dangerous. I am methodical though and have only destroyed my install once.

Updating permalinks seems to work, i.e. I can enter the new permalink address without the /index.php/ and it works fine. But WP does not display the permalink properly. Post titles have the permalink structure with /index.php/ included. Tooltips show “Permalink” and address displayed in status bar shows the nice permalink with /index.php/. Clicking the link in fact works as expected, nice link, but again with /index.php/.

When I Update Permalink Structure, I’m told that I need to edit .htaccess. Also, I’m told that .htaccess is not writable so I have to paste this:

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

I’ve looked everywhere and this looks odd to me. My .htaccess file is not accessable by WP, I manually created the file and uploaded it. I’ve tried several standard recommended variations of the above rewrite rule.

I’ve tried all variations of 644, 666, 744, 777, etc. WP admin cannot write to the .htaccess or see it under Mangage/Files. I get the “Oops, no such file exists…” message. I don’t want to manually edit .htacess if WP can do this for me, but I can’t make it work. But I will if I have to.

I’ve also tried an edited version of vars.php with the “Apache=1” thing; no apparent effect either way.

I’m hosted on 1and1, basic linux, which claims to support mod_rewrite, but for some reason their customer support would not definitively confirms that. Instead, they sent me an email which contained the available commands for the mod server. No explanation, no “dear sir”, nothing else. Wierd. PHP info test does not reveal any Apache module, Server API says “CGI” not Apache. This email was rec’d during the call, and the only thing the guy would say was “we are sending you an email, “you’ll see””. Funny, my further query has resulted in silence, but I did receive a customer service survey! Ha.

Any suggestions would be great, this one single feature is driving me insane.
