I had an issue with my .htaccess file, and having wiped it, resolved that issue. Now I am faced with another issue which is that all my permalinks are headed by /blog/ . This is rather annoying as all my previous (and indexed) links are now 404s.
This is how my CURRENT access file looks like (at least the WordPress part of it).
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)wp-comments-post\.php*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(.*)thedomain.com.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://jetpack\.wordpress\.com/jetpack-comment/ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]
</IfModule>
# END Better WP Security
# 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
This is at the end of the file, there is some stuff from a security plugin before that.
At this moment, In my Permanlinks settings I can only choose from the following:
Defaulthttp://thedomain.com/?p=123
Day and namehttp://thedomain.com/blog/2013/02/27/sample-post/
Month and namehttp://thedomain.com/blog/2013/02/sample-post/
Numerichttp://thedomain.com/blog/archives/123
Post namehttp://thedomain.com/blog/sample-post/
Custom Structurehttp://thedomain.com/blog
Where it used to be without "blog". What I want is something like this:
Custom Structurehttp://thedomain.com/%classification*%/%Sample-post%/ (*or whatever it was termed - I don't know the specific terminology).
That is to say a permalink structure like "site - my classifcation - my post". (Without "blog"!)
Any suggestions? Thanks, Moriarty
