    I’m still working on this if anyone has any further ideas. A couple of updates since the last post…

    I am hosting with Dreamhost and noticed that the default AllowOverwrite was set to None. I’ve since changed it to All and restarted apache.

    I have also noticed no matter what settings I set and apply in the permalinks, WP doesn’t seem to write to the .htaccess file, even though it gives you the impression it has, “Permalink structure updated”. If I check the modified date on .htaccess it hasn’t shifted since the day I installed WP. If I check permissions on .htaccess they are currently 644, same issue if I test with permissions set to 777.

    If I rename the htaccess file and save permalinks WP doesn’t recreate the htaccess file.

    I’m really not sure if the above are normal or significant?

    Thanks for the reply, that’s what I thought originally but couldn’t get things happening.

    As per the Codex, I’ve copied in index.php and .htaccess to domain.com/site making the appropriate edit to the path in index.php.

    In site settings I have updated the following…
    siteurl = domain.com/wp/site
    home = domain.com/site
    Path on the Info tab remains as /wp/site/

    I’ve even updated Permalinks for the fun of it, however, when I go to domain.com/site WP tells me not found and if I use https://www.domain.com/site, it redirects me to the main WP site (domain.com/wp/) and not domain.com/site as expected.

    I’m obviously doing it wrong.
