 * Hi – I have installed WP to a sub directory on a Windows 2008 server (IIS7, supports
   permalinks). I can get to Admin ok and sign in – however the site itself gives
   me a browser message that the server is redirecting the request for this address
   in a way that will never complete.
    Some searching around came up with putting`
   remove_filter('template_redirect', 'redirect_canonical');` in functions.php –
   this has worked and I can now use the site. One small problem remains is that
   I cannot change the header image (I’ve set it to 2012 theme). I go to the page
   wp-admin/themes.php?page=custom-header and change things (even upload and apparently
   crop images) but when I click save changes nothing gets saved. Oddly if I click
   customize and go to wp-admin/customize.php I CAN save and publish. So far all
   the other admin options work just fine.
 * I can’t help thinking that somehow the canonical redirects (or lack) is causing
   the header image problem.
 * Any ideas?
