    Still n clarity. Read some more and the “Blog address (URI)” should probably be left blank since I haven’t moved the index.php and don’t intend to either, but, when I have Blog adress blank, and use http://www.distrowear.com as WordPress address (URI) the site still has broken links like above, and, it also stops reading the template, so it’s all basic html. However, things are still set as in the previous post. Will keep ’em like that untill somebody comes up with something. = /

    I’ve also tried out my domainhosts url redirection and it seems to work as it should:
    the original http://www.chaosrealm.net/pls/grafik/resten.gif redirects to http://www.distrowear.com/grafik/resten.gif without a flaw….

    Okey… latest solution is to have http://www.chaosrealm.net/pls as WordPress address (URI), and leave Blog address (URI) blank so that it becomes the same.

    If people type http://www.distrowear.com they get redirected, and that url stays in the adressfield no matter what they do since the redirection uses frames.

    The problem with this is apparent: I can’t give people direct-links that work. http://www.distrowear.com/?page_id=3 should lead to
    http://www.chaosrealm.net/pls/?page_id=3 but still doesn’t.

    Now I have specified http://www.chaosrealm.net/pls as WordPress address (URI), and left the Blog adr. empty, so it’s the same.

    Still going mad…”somebody save me” *singing like in Smallville*

    Okey, all is solved now… somehow. Here’s the remedy if you’re in a situation which you think is kind of like mine, that is:

    1. You have installed WP in a dir on your real webhost and have it running 100% on that url. [example: http://www.shittywbhost.com/wp/%5D

    2. You get smarter and buy another domain name and want to use that instead, so you url forward/redirect it [the new] with frames to the old one. So that http://www.me.com [the new] points to http://www.shittywbhost.com/wp/ and http://www.me.com would be the url visitors of your blog would be all they had to type in order to see it.

    3. When you do that you notice that the links to the permanent pages and some other things are broke. The only thing (almost) that works is index.php that loads correctly…and, if you re-directed correct you shouldn’t even see the filename – just the new domain should be visible.

    4. When you verify the url-redirecting you notice it’s intact and it works. [very important, else you’ve found your error here already]

    Now for the problem solving..

    5. Login as admin. Options >> Permalinks

    6. At the line that says “Structure” try writing

    /index.php/%post_id%

    or only

    /index.php/

    and see what it does for you…..

    ___________________________________________

    It fixed my problem since the permalinkhandling became fuxored of the url-redirecting (my guess).

    I discovered the permlink-stuff when I noticed that

    http://www.mywebhostdomain.com/?page_id=3 would work, and that
    http://www.mynewdomain.com/?page_id=3 wouldn’t. But, whenever I typed http://www.mynewdomain.com/index.php?page_id=3 it did work, soo…. 😉
