take a look at what is IN your htaccess file – something is redirecting everything back to root URL
ok, figured it out. this thread helped:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/184246?replies=2
with a link to:
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/
the problem had to do with the fact that, in the General page in Settings, i set the WordPress address to a different URL than the Blog address. the WP address was pointed at the root, and the blog address at root/wp (where my wordpress install is).
i guess what was happening was that everything happening in /wp was redirecting back to root, when then redirected to my blog homepage.
didn’t figure this out until i stumbled across those settings, changed them, and *totally* broke my site (couldn’t even login because of a redirect). just followed the phpmyadmin instructions in the link above to get things working.

sorry to double-post, but i realized that the thread i was posting in ( http://wordpress.org/support/topic/201589 ) was marked as resolved.
here’s the scoop:
just started my blog:
http://words.transmote.com/
every link seems to point to the correct address, but resolves immediately back to the homepage. can’t dig into a post, can’t view About, can’t leave comments. yikes.
tried switching themes to a few different options (including WP default), and having the same problem regardless of theme.
my permalinks settings are on “default” — i tried changing them, “Save Changes”, changing them back to default and saving again — no luck.
i’m running WP Super Cache; tried clearing the cache after every change — still no luck.
also, i tried disabling WP Super Cache — still have the same problem.
some more info:
changing permalinks to anything other than Default causes my site to display a 404 with *any* link, even the homepage / base URL ( http://words.transmote.com/wp/ ).
i installed AskApache RewriteRules Viewer 3.0, which shows me this:
> Not using permalinks
> Writable .htaccess file found
> mod_rewrite found
> Not using pathinfo style index permalinks
> Not using mod_rewrite permalinks
hm….
help? thanks!
