 * Hi there –
 * I’m being told that, on a subdirectory-type installation of WP multisite, the
   main domain’s posts will be forced by WordPress to have this permalink structure
   if the permalinks are updated:
 * `http://domain.com/blog/index.php/post-name/`
 * Is that accurate…that WP will force both /blog/ **and** /index.php/ in there 
   to pre-empt potential collisions with the subfolder domains?
 * If so, is there any way to get index.php out of that permalink? I have hundreds
   upon hundreds of blog posts with links to other posts in them, all of which would
   have to be updated by hand, since index.php has never been an issue until now.(
   I can’t do a search/replace because not all internal links in the posts are to
   other posts — some are to pages).
 * Thanks for anyone with multisite expertise who can help me make sure that what
   I’m being told by my NGINX host is accurate.

 * Blog folder yes, index.php …not unless your server requires that for permalinks.
