   i want to use custom permalinks of the form of /blog/%postname%/ but <site>.com/wordpress/<postname> is displayed in the browser location box.

   i only want <site>.com/<postname> to appear in the location box.

   please advise.

   Assuming the blog is installed in a wordpress sub-folder off root, see Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

   Where is WordPress installed on your server? Is it installed in a folder named "WordPress"?

   wordpress is installed in /home/web/wordpress

   If you domain name is routed to your /home/web folder, then the only way to remove "wordpress" from your URL is to move the main WordPress index page. The instructions provided in the link from esmi will explain exactly what you need to do in order to accomplish that.

   i have read those instructions several times and followed them again this time. it eliminates /wordpress/ from the location bar but breaks the custom permalink /blog/%postname%/.

   so i go back to using default permalinks. :(
