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.

    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?
      {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[10147662].message }}
  • 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.
