problem with htaccess directory index

    I installed wordpress into /blog and it was working fine for years.

    Now we’re going to be launching a new site in a month or so and I put up a comingsoon.html file and set the .htaccess directory index to this new page (which links to the old site for now).

    The problem is that since I’ve added the htaccess file, clicking on the blog link results in a page not found error.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for any help!

    Get rid of the .htaccess redirect and look for a maintenance mode plugin.

    thanks, I didn’t know those plugins existed.

    I actually fixed the issue though–all I did was specify an absolute URL for the blog page rather than a relative one… I’m not sure why that worked, but it did.
