Thanks, but no, that doesn’t help. I do have an .htaccess in the overall root, it says:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# redirect non-WWW to WWW
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^themagicofyou\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.themagicofyou.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
# steers 301s to the index page
redirectMatch 301 ^(.*)/$ http://www.themagicofyou.co.uk$1/index.php
followed by dozens of straightforward permanent redirects.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Are these fighting with each other in a vicious circle? Though how can that be when I have deleted the WP .htaccess?
Regards,
Andy
Many thanks, I’ve deleted those lines and the blog works. Very good.
Just to check, though: the main .htaccess in my /html folder has a whole lot more redirections in it and I can’t delete those. I’m generous minded, I don’t care if WP has its own little .htaccess in the /blog directory. But I’d just like to check that changes I make to the /html/.htaccess won’t affect
/html/blog/.haccess and vice versa.
Regards
Andrew
