(1) After the latest upgrade I've discovered that I can't preview the themes in except for the one currently being used.
(2) I've just discovered that my root directory .htaccess file has been reduced to:
# BEGIN WordPress
# END WordPress
From:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /news/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /news/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
This has been the case for weeks unknown to me because the set up with the home page in the root and WP installed in a sub-directory continues to work. However, there's now a problem accessing pages on the site outside of the WordPress installation. "Houston, we have a problem"
