[resolved] Mis-directing link (7 posts)

    On a website I'm trying to make for my robotics team I keep getting this perplexing error. When one clicks on the top of the page it normally is supposed to take the user back to the home page. However, when I click on that on my robotics teams website it takes me to another site with a similar name that doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to why this is happening or what I can do to fix this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    PS: The website is http://rockwoodroboticsteam1098.org/home/

    Um. That is SERIOUSLY weird. If you access your wp-admin options general page, what are the two values for WordPress address and Blog address?

    And do you have a specialize .htaccess file? If so, please post the contents.

    WordPress address: http://rockwoodroboticsteam1098.org/home
    Blog address: http://rockwoodroboticsteam1098.org/home

    I don't believe I have a specialized .htaccess file but I might. I'm not really sure what that means so I'm assuming I don't.

    Well, those values are fine....

    Is your wp a root install? Or is it in a folder named "home"?

    Seriously weird doesn't even begin to describe it. I'm at a loss to see how it's even possible. There's no link in the source to "firstroboticswhatever", there's no script code running... I can't find where the link is coming from.

    Ah hah! I found it! This link:
    http://rockwoodroboticsteam1098.org/home
    Causes a 301 redirect to this URL:
    http://www.firstroboticsteam1098.com/home/

    But this link:
    http://rockwoodroboticsteam1098.org/home/
    Does not redirect.

    There has got to be something weird configured with the server or .htaccess file or something.

    Hmm well I tried messing with stuff in the website and now nothing shows up XD

    It is installed in a folder named "home" should it not be? I'll keep working with it and see what happens.
