[resolved] Comments, subscribing and redirection issue (6 posts)

    I used Thematic to create a child to redesign my blog to look like my website (www.ameliapowerdesign.com). All's good except when you click to leave a comment or try to subscribe you're brought to the home page of my site.

    In general settings I have my wordpress url set to: http://www.ameliapowerdesign.com/blog and the site url to http://www.ameliapowerdesign.com.

    I'm aware of the custom field "comments" required for Thematic and have added this field for each post with a value also.

    I've my wp-comments-post.php and wp-commentsrss2.php files in the blog subfolder on my ftp.

    Can anyone help? I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    All is not good:

    Warning: require(/home2/ameliapo/public_html/blog/wp-includes/load.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/ameliapo/public_html/blog/wp-settings.php on line 21

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home2/ameliapo/public_html/blog/wp-includes/load.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib64/php:/usr/lib/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home2/ameliapo/public_html/blog/wp-settings.php on line 21

    If your blog is in the folder, blog, and you DO NOT want it to run 'as if' it were in the root HTML you need to roll back those URL changes :) Both should be http://www.ameliapowerdesign.com/blog

    Thank you so much Ipstenu.

    The wp-includes folder was not under the "blog" for some reason.
    I moved that folder and renamed the urls in the general settings as you said and it's working.

    There is still a little redirecting happening. When I click "blog" in my nav say from the comments section, I'm redirected to my home page instead of the main blog page. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    How did you make that menu? Via Appearances -> Menu or ...?

    It just has the wrong URL is all.

    Thanks again for your help. You're right, that's all it was...it's working now. Previously I had "/" as the address which works for the other active pages but not for the blog. I have it added to the function.php file:

    // Function for inserting my nav bar
function custom_navigation() { ?>
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://ameliapowerdesign.com/index.htm">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://ameliapowerdesign.com/about.htm">About</a></li>
<li><a href="http://ameliapowerdesign.com/work.htm">Work</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ameliapowerdesign.com/blog/">Blog</a></li>
<li><a href="http://ameliapowerdesign.com/mysitecontact.php">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div> <!--end nav--><?php }
add_action('thematic_belowheader', 'custom_navigation');
