# Strange redirection problem after upgrade from 2.2 to 2.6

 * Hi there,
 * I recently upgraded to WordPress 2.6.3, which seems to cause a strange redirection
   problem on my domain (www.laszlo.se)
 * My host supports some kind of virtual subdomains – for example, each top folder
   created on the domain can be used as a subdomain mirror (I don’t know the correct
   term for this, I’m afraid). In my case I have my blog at [http://www.laszlo.se/blog/](http://www.laszlo.se/blog/).
   This means that blog.laszlo.se can be used instead – although, there is no physical
   subdomain, all it does is that it redirects the user to the original adress (
   www.laszlo.se/blog/). Since I upgraded to WordPress 2.6.3 (from 2.2) this has
   caused some issues,
 * blog.laszlo.se now bounces back to the top of the domain, [http://www.laszlo.se](http://www.laszlo.se),
   instead of [http://www.laszlo.se/blog/](http://www.laszlo.se/blog/), as of before.
 * Unfortunately this is quite a big issue for me since most of the sites linking
   to me uses blog.laszlo.se and not [http://www.laszlo.se/blog](http://www.laszlo.se/blog)
 * My humble guess is that the problem lies somewhere with all require-statements
   in the index.php and wp-blog-header.php files, although I’m not a web developer
   so I wouldn’t know.
 * Unfortunately my host does not allow me to change anything in the phpinfo, so
   the only way to solve this would be with php. A trick I tried was to change the
   original index.php to index2.php and create a new index.php with the following
   line
 * header(‘Location:[http://www.laszlo.se/blog/index2.php&#8217](http://www.laszlo.se/blog/index2.php&#8217););
 * However, this caused another problem; when I visit a single post or a category
   or something else it bounces back to index2.php.
 * Sorry for the fuzzy explanation – I hope somebody could clear some things out
   for me. 🙂
 * Thanks in advance
