Hmm – my issue seems to be the browser cache, which I thought I had cleared. Nope – once I did this,I now see the home page coming up (and with no ‘wordpress’ in the url). I think I have it fixed now. Thanks for your helpful comments along the way.
Charles,
Thanks for the link. However this just seems to reiterate ‘refresh permalinks’, and doesn’t seem to do anything. I checked the datestamps on the .htaccess file and it does not get updated. My .htaccess has exactly the same content as shown in the example.
Are you sure this is really a 401 error and not just a wordpress issue?
I already tried that, no joy. Wouldn’t all pages have problems if this was messed up? I don’t think I am getting 404 errors from apache, since the displayed page is formatted in my theme.
