Here’s my fix, for what it’s worth. I understand enabling sending referrers means that the user is sending the web page he/she is coming from to the web page he/she is going to for security purposes. I am using a dynamic dns service to forward requests for my site at “www.mysite.com” to “ww2.mysite.com:8000” (because my ISP blocks port 80) located on a server in my home. By leaving the “blog Address” to “www.mysite.com” and changing the “WordPress address” to “ww2.mysite.com:8000”, I could now make changes through “ww2.mysite.com:8000/mysite/wp-admin” without to dreaded “enable sending referrers” problem. The original problem may have been a combination of the dns redirect and the cloking of the redirected address.
