   Hello all,
   I was playing around with my site, and accidentally changed the WordPress URL and was unable to login or load parts of the website: http://www.cassiemarie.com

   (The main URL is simply linking to where the site is hosted and where wordpress exists at http://www.naterecording.com/cassiemarie)

   I followed the instructions here: http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/
   and now I can login and see everything, and my homepage shows up.

   The last problem is that when I want to see a link from the homepage to another page, such as clicking "Interiors" to get to http://www.naterecording.com/cassiemarie/interiors

   I get a '300 multiple choices' error page, rather than seeing the page.
   Any ideas what I missed? Thanks so much for the help!

   By the way, if this helps, or has anything to do with it, here's what's in my .htaccess file:

   AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

   # 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

   Hi,

   You should not bump as per the forum rules, mainly because it doesn't help at all.

   As for your problem, try disabling (i.e. setting back to "default") your permalinks options in the admin panel (Settings -> Permalinks), and then re-enabling pretty permalinks again.
   Let me know how that turns out.

   Thank you! As long as I have it set to Default, the links will work.
   Although, if I change the permalink setting to something else, I get the same issue.

   My original goal was to hide anything referring to "naterecording.com" in the permalink, since it is not associated with my own work. Is it possible to do this?

   And my apologies for the 'bump'ing.

   Don't worry about it.

   Why were you trying to change your site's URL? Are you trying to retrieve the same content on two different WP installations? I'm asking because
   both domains you linked to, cassiemarie and naterecording, seem to be displaying the same content. Are they both yours?
   I guess I'm a little lost as to what you are trying to accomplish exactly.

   I'll do my best to clarify the situation:
   Our domain host exists within the http://www.naterecording.com URL, which is my own personal site. (cassiemarie.com is actually the site for my wife.)

   In order to create a new website using the same account, I simply created a new wordpress account in a new folder within the domain (cassiemarie). Therefore, the original domain is located at http://www.naterecording.com/cassiemarie.

   From there, I just purchased the cassiemarie.com domain and forwarded it to the naterecording.com/cassiemarie wordpress page.

   The issue is that when searching for the cassiemarie site, or my wife's name on Google, it shows a link to the naterecording site. It gets to the right place, but doesn't look as nice as if it simply said 'cassiemarie.com'

   Ultimately, my question is whether there is a way to change how this is displayed, or if I am stuck unless I actually have the wordpress folder exist directly in the cassiemarie.com domain. Thank you so much for the help!

   Ok, I understand. What you did was create an add-on domain cassiemarie.com in the folder naterecording.com/cassiemiarie.
   Try this topic see if it helps.
   There is also a plugin for domain mapping available for Multisite.

   Cheers!

   You summed up my response in a sentence!

   As far as the links you sent... I'm not sure if they get me to the bottom of solving my problem or not. I'm nervous to change those URL settings in the 'general' section because it really messed things up last time (see my OP). The domain mapping plug-in looks interesting, but it might put me in over my head, based on the instructions.

   Is there potentially an easier way to simply eliminate naterecording.com from showing up when visiting the cassiemarie.com website, or will it require some technical wizardry?

   I don't see another option,other than perhaps messing with domain names, but that is potentially way more harmful than the solution I suggested.
   If you are afraid of changing the URL settings, you could backup your database and installation first, and then, if it doesn't work, restore it to the way it was before.
