   I've recently moved my travel blog from Movable Type to WP. I seem to be having an issue with my archives. When I click on an archived month the link doesn't seem to work properly and instead I am redirected to my home page. Any ideas on why this is happening or how I can fix it?

   Here's the site so far (I've just started trying to design and get it working).
   http://www.heatherland.ca/wp/

   Thanks in advance

   Look at the archive URLs; they don't contain the /wp/ . Add it and they work:
   http://www.heatherland.ca/wp/?m=201008

   You've got a permalink or .htaccess problem with WP; it's inheriting rewrite rules from MT. Reset permalinks.

   Thanks for your response.

   I tried to fix the .htaccess file with these instructions:
   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-the-heck-happened-to-all-of-my-posts?replies=10

   but I didn't have any luck. Then I started playing with my "General Settings" and discovered the issue. I had the WordPress address as "http://www.heatherland.ca/wp/" and the site address as "http://www.heatherland.ca/". When I changed the site address to "http://www.heatherland.ca/wp/" then everything works perfectly. It seems odd to me because I thought I could designate my site address as the home page of my website, not just the blog portion, but it doesn't seem to want to accept that. Does that seem odd to you?

   Thanks again!

   WordPress needs to be in root or set as root. To do that, see Moving WordPress « WordPress Codex andor Giving WordPress Its Own Directory « WordPress Codex
