Is there any wordpress pro around?

I put a WP blog into a subdirectory.

I managed to fix all the annoying bugs that came with that, but one thing i still bugs me:

When I open mydomain.com/mywpblog it gives me a 404! The sidebar and footer are loaded correctly but no post is showing thus the 404-standard text in the title!

I think it has to do with the .htacccess in the subfolder but I am not sure.

the wordpress.org support forum is useless. Can anyone help?

  • It simply means there is no page created under posts, if you are using the standard WordPress theme and installed via Cpanel, a test post is created automatically.

    Head over to post and create a new post. Can you provide the link I check

  • It may caused by permalink structure. Please share the url.
  • Did you check file permissions for the sub directory folder?

    You can do it via cPanel or FTP.
  • Make sure the following is correct in wp-config.php:

    DB_NAME
    DB_USER
    DB_PASSWORD
    WP_HOME*
    WP_SITEURL*

    *You have to create these. For example, after:
    define('DB_COLLATE', ''); /** INSERT BELOW **/
    define('WP_HOME', 'mydomain.com/mywpblog');
    define('WP_SITEURL', 'mydomain.com/mywpblog');

      do you mean the wp-config.php in the wordpress root folder?

      That file doesnt have the
      WP_HOME*
      WP_SITEURL*

      part! I thought these were the values you set up in the General settings under wp-admin?!

    • This has not worked in any way.
  • Still having an issue, send me a PM, I can take a quick look.

  • If you can get to the Dashboard, go to Settings > General and make sure the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) are setup correctly. WP Address is the location of your WP installation: mydomain.com/mywpblog, and Site Address will be the same, unless you want your site's home page to be different from your WP installation directory.

    Next go to Settings > Reading and select, from drop down list, your front page and posts page. Make sure you save your changes.

    If you're still having problems, PM me.

    • Did you check permalink structure along with blog read setting?
  • Sounds like a permalink problem. Go to settings>permalinks and change your permalink option to something different and then save. Then change it back to what you had it set at then save. Go to your front-end. You problem is most likely solved at this point.
