I put them before the Authentication Keys and *good things* are happening!

Looks like that fixed it. Now I just need to clean up my permalinks.

Thanks very much for your help. It has been a life-saver!

By the way, something odd I noticed is the introduction of an additional backslash in the urls of the pages. Is that related to the two lines we dropped into the wp-config file?

It doesn’t appear to be a problem, links without the extra ‘/’ still work, but it just seems like I should try and clean that up.

Thanks Ipstenu.

Do those two lines need to be in any specific location?

After the other MySQL settings?

Or just at the end of the file?

Ipstenu, I did correct that line in the index.php that exists in the root. I suppose I need to correct that same line in the version that exists within my subfolder?

OK, I think I may have found something.

In my users table, the fields “deleted” and “spam” exist. I don’t see an obvious way to delete those two fields.

Can you suggest a method?

Krsna.Booti – I had deleted all the items listed in your last post. I’m checking to see if the two fields in the users table are still there right now.

I think there must be something left over from the multi-site exercise, because the links that show up on the “page not found” page are trying to direct me to a location within a non-existent folder named “blog”

That’s getting me closer I think. Still not getting the right theme, but I’m not too worried about that. Of more concern is the lack of proper links, and the fact that I can get to a log in screen (without the wordpress theme) but when I try to log in, I get a page not found error.

Ipstenu: my .htaccess lines read like this:

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

# END WordPress

Thanks for the detailed instructions Krsna.Booti, I’ll go through that checklist and report back.

In the past, I’ve had the index.php in the root, with everything else in my subfolder (wp). When I put the index.php in the subfolder, all I see when I point to my domain is a listing of the root.

Naturally, I don’t want that! I put the index.php back in the root and returned to my original problem.

Next, I added another copy of index.php to the subfolder, and now get an error message.

From that page I can see that the permalinks have added a “blog” subfolder, which doesn’t exist.

I know that. I put up an html page as a placeholder for now until I sort this out. It wasn’t working with the index.php either. I will try again and check back.

Thanks Krsna.Booti

I tried restoring my saved version of .htaccess & wp-config, to no avail.

If were to delete my database & wp files, do a clean install, then import my saved database, would that solve this problem?

If I were to complete scrub database and then reimport the copy I have saved, would that work?

Could this be as simple as adding ‘wp’ to the RewriteBase line in the .htaccess file?

Oh, this is what my .htaccess file looks like:

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

# END WordPress
