    OMG this turned out to be so unbelievably simple. I should have seen it a long time ago.

    When moving the blog I had to do a lot of manual resetting of the siteURL and Home URL as described in Moving WordPress.

    I did this mostly using manual updates to wp-config.php as described in the article.

    Then, after I got the links working I kind of forgot about that.

    So it turns out that the cause of the problem was still that setup.

    Here’s what wasn’t working that I just hadn’t noticed:
    Failing siteURL after move

    And here’s the fix. So SIMPLE> DURRRRRRR.

    I did try that, and that gives me more unexpected results. I have it set up with no .htaccess right now.

    So if you go to http://34.239.226.239/ and follow any of my test links to the blog page at /blog/index.php you go correctly to the blog. But that is because I have the permalinks set to plain. So once you get to the blog you then have the original problem of the blog links themselves pointing to pages like this:
    http://34.239.226.239/?p=346

    So that results in no result because that page is at http://34.239.226.239/blog/?p=346 so it loops you back to the root instead.

    I’m about ready to pay someone to help me sort this out. Not sure where to go for that though.

    I understand that. But it’s the symptom of the problem, not a solution.

    For example, I changed the permalinks now so that they use:
    http://34.239.226.239/blog/%post_id%/

    So if you look at the root site, and link to the blog it still doesn’t load the index.php page as it should. It now loads this:
    http://34.239.226.239/blog/239

    So the permalink change is working. If you let it load that page (which is the first post it can find) you can move to other blog posts and they load.

    But that still leaves me with the problem of the link from http://34.239.226.239/ going to the wrong result. It points to http://34.239.226.239/blog/index.php.

    What it’s supposed to load is a preview page that shows blog excerpts for the most recent posts. But that’s not what it’s doing.
