I think that'll do it. That's much, that's great help. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/237683#post-967180 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 19:51:46 +0000 Otto42 967180@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Leave off the leading slash. Make it "wp-content/uploads". </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/237683#post-967090 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 18:17:43 +0000 Ipstenu 967090@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Ah, on your admin panel, go to Settings and click on Miscellaneous .</p> <p>Change 'Store uploads in this folder to <code>/wp-content/uploads/</code> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/237683#post-967035 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 17:26:56 +0000 ccsm 967035@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>It seems to do it whenever I upload a photo or sometimes even when I don't. It creates a /blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/file.jpg subdirectory. Seems really odd to me too.</p> <p>My plugins are:<br /> Akismet<br /> All in one SEO<br /> Audio Player<br /> Custom Query String Reloaded<br /> Redirection</p> <p>Can I change permissions somewhere to fix this? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/237683#post-967029 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 17:18:20 +0000 Otto42 967029@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>WordPress should not be creating any sort of "blog" folder. How are you making it do that? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/237683#post-967026 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 17:15:48 +0000 ccsm 967026@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Yeah, it's a weird set-up, I agree. It's an old domain that has gone through several incarnations over the years. A URL with baggage, I guess you could say. </p> <p>I made the /blog/ directory, stuffed it with an index.php file that has a PHP redirect script that redirects to the root. That seems to work, but the site no long shows up at <a href="http://www.mysite.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mysite.com/blog/</a>. With this method I might as well just leave that redirect and change the general settings to display the blog at the root. It negates my master plan.</p> <p>Do you think that'll matter to google and SEO, etc.? I've heard Google penalizes for redirects, but sometimes it's hard to know what Google advice is good and what's jive. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/237683#post-966941 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 16:07:15 +0000 Ipstenu 966941@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>What plugins do you have?</p> <p>You could make a symlink from 'blog' back to root, but it's rather backwards to me. Most people want to go 'My blog is in 'blog', but I want it to act like it's in root.' </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/237683#post-966911 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 15:23:09 +0000 ccsm 966911@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have a unique set up for my wordpress. The files are located in the root directory, but I have the front page set in the General settings to display at <a href="http://www.mysite.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mysite.com/blog/</a>.</p> <p>Unfortunately, Wordpress keeps automatically creating a subfolder named "blog" and when it does this is breaks the site. The subfolder is empty, so when people visit mysite.com/blog they find a "nothing found" error. </p> <p>Why is Wordpress creating this folder and how can I stop it from doing this? </p>
