next_posts_link is repeating part of the link path (2 posts)

    I am using the WordPress default theme on a 2.9.1 installation with only minor modifications (mostly layout-wise).

    The problem that I have is that the “Older entries” links in date/category archives do not work. They create the following link:

    http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/frers/blog/~frers/blog//index.php?m=200306&paged=2

    instead of the correct

    http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/frers/blog/index.php?m=200306&paged=2

    As you can see, the

    /~frers/blog/

    part is being unnecessarily injected, thus breaking the link.

    How can I fix this?

    You probably need some more info about my setup:
    The blog is installed on my university’s server, where the user paths are standardized to begin with a ~username after the domain. However, it is also possible to skip the ~ and just enter the username after the domain. This is what I did.

    • In Settings > General both URLs use the scheme without the ~
    • In Settings > Permalinks I haven’t modified anything
    • I had to install the “Disable Canonical URL Redirection” plugin to get the install working

    I have searched the web in general and the WordPress support forums but found no solution. One thread that described a similar issue: 335051. But as the other poster in the thread, I can’t really use the solution that is offered there because of lacking technical skills/explanation.

    I would be delighted if you could help me out! =)

    I also made some queries in the SQL database to get rid of any cases where I used the ~frers links - but that did not help either. Anyone? I really don’t know where else to look… :(
