Wow, am I really the only person having this problem?

Ok, I figured this out, and it was so stupid.

The problem all lied in where I was storing the files on my Media Temple web host.

My site hierarchy was basically like this:

/root
…/mysite.com
……/_misc
……/cgi-bin
……/html
………/wp-admin
………/wp-content
………/wp-includes

I was creating my images directory right under “mysite.com”. I later realized that if I created the directories under “mysite.com/html” it would work. But I wouldn’t have to add “/html” in the URL.

So if I create a directory and add content to /mysite.com/html/images/whatever…, and I create a link that says “mysite.com/images/whatever.jpg”, it will display without me making any changes to .htaccess file, or any of my wordpress settings. I was just creating my directories in the wrong place… such a stupid thing to overlook.

Ok, you’re right. I feel like an idiot. I had scanned my db, and hadn’t seen any signs of posts older than about 14 months, but I must not have looked hard enough. When I check all my posts in wp-admin, sure enough, they were there. Thanks for your help here and all over the forums. This isn’t the first time one of your posts have helped me out.

I know this may be of little help, but I always use the built-in spell checker in Firefox. Works great.

I have tried that, but everything still redirects to my blog. Is there a way to exclude a certain sub-folder, such as “pages” from the blog. It doesn’t matter what I type in after https://www.somesite.com …. it will always redirect you to my most recent post on the blog, unless it is some other valid URL, of course. Any other ideas. Thanks for your response.
