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! =)
