   I get my blog's 404 when attempting to preview an unpublished post, and a "You don't have permission to view previews" when previewing a published post.

   Setup:
   My admin is at http://www.brian-fitzgerald.net/wordpress
   and my blog is at http://blog.brian-fitzgerald.net
   I have pretty permalinks set up
   Have added the rewrite rules to .htaccess as recommended in the Settings page:

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   This isn't a version problem -- situation has persisted since I migrated to a new hosting service couple years ago.

   I've seen suggestions of removing the www subdomain in the site url setting of Settings > General which appears to have worked for many. Won't work for me as the subdomain is significant (blog.brian-fitzgerald.net) and I have done the ritual purging of cookies and visits from a clean browser on a clean system. Nada, nix, niente.

   Be great to hear from anyone who knows what the problem is.

   Had I conducted a better search of the Forum, I would have found the answer to my question here.

   Insanely simple: change Settings > General > WordPress Address to the subdomained version of the URL, in my case http://blog.brian-fitzgerald.net -- and hey presto.
