   Trying to get WP to work with and add-on domain, having troubles. I am able to log in, connects to database, but when trying to save a post, I just get kicked out to the main domain without any changes saved. Can't figure out why. Here's the addresses I'm working with..

   www.jtr3.com (main domain)
www.teofilstudios.com (addon domain)

   I have the address below listed under General Settings as both WP & blog address. Is this correct? Is something wrong with my permissions maybe?

   www.jtr3.com/teofilstudios/wordpress

   Shouldn't the url's be:
   http://www.teofilstudios.com/wordpress
   ??

   Hi There -

   The answer depends on both how your web hosting server sets up the "add-on" domain, and what (if anything) changes you have made to your directory structure on your web hosting server.

   1. If your hosting company allows you to separately host a new domain on your plan, then the address should be simply: http://www.teofilstudios.com

   2. If you have set up a subdirectory for the new domain, named "wordpress", but your company still allows treatment of this domain separately from your first domain, then Samboll is correct, and it would be:
   http://www.teofilstudios.com/wordpress

   Judging from the failure of your first guess presented above, and from the fact that your domain functions as a Top Level Domain would when I go to it in my browser, I am guessing that #1 is the case.

   thanks for the quick response! Unfortunately, this didn't work. I logged in @ http://www.teofilstudios.com/wordpress/wp-admin, changed the URLs to http://www.teofilstudios.com/wordpress (was allowed to save changes this time) and modified a post. No go...kicks me back out to teofilstudios.com on save.

   Some background info that may come into play here. I am migrating my blog from MovableType 3.2 to WP. The currant blog is at teofilstudios.com, which is why I'm trying to test WP @ teofilstudios.com/wordpress. I don't want to overwrite any index files or anything. Used the import tool, and all entries & comments imported fine. I just can't edit an existing post or add a new one. I always get kicked back to teofilstudios.com. Also, when editing a post for few minutes, the auto-save kicks in and my main site shows up under the save button. Like, a preview of the whole index page @ teofilstudios.com, not /wordpress. What the heck is going on? Is this an installation issue?
