   Hi,

   I install WP a lot and lately I've started installing my WP installations in a subdirectory called 'wordpress' to keep the top level nice and neat. I follow the instructions at
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

   I've noticed that the Edit Post Link

   <?php edit_post_link(); ?>

   doesn't work when WP has it's own directory. Is there any way to fix this?

   And if there isn't a way to easily get around this without editing (or patching) core files, is there a way to work around it by creating a link that will allow me to directly edit that specific post (instead of just a link to the Dashboard) that I can use instead of edit_post_link? I'm hoping for it to be dynamic - I know I can do it manually.

   <?php edit_post_link(); ?> will work for subdirectory installation also.

   May I know the URL - where it is not working?

   Hi GJames

   It's very strange - it didn't work when I was logged in as Admin, but now I'm logged in as an Editor it does appear.

   The url is a test site at http://ecodepot.trishacupra.com/

   I think this is just an issue with your browser cookie -- log out and log in again, and the problem should resolve itself.

   Wow. You're right. It is just a matter of logging in and out after editing the theme to include an 'edit post' link, and then the Edit link appears.

   Thanks!
