Hi,

I just found the answer. Permalinks have to be set to default “ugly” mode to make the discovery feature work in DW…

On second thought, I cannot move it to the root, as it will interfere with my shopping cart that occupies already the root directory.

I also recall that it is allright to install WP in its own folder, as long as you use subdirectories and not subdomains. Is that correct?

In any event, how would I have to modify the htaccess file to make things right?

Thanks

Berthold

Hi,

Yes, the code in htaccess is:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blogs/

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

That code has been created by the softaculous installation of WP via cpanel. I have not modified it so far.

Thanks
