In reply to: [Plugin: Subscribe to Comments] Manager link is a 403?Well at least we’re not alone!
I get the feeling it’s something to do with how my web server is configured–it definitely seems to be a permissions issue or maybe a URL rewrite one–but beyond that I have no idea.

In reply to: WordPress hackedThanks for the info, bsains. I doubt it’s a rootkit on my system but it might be one on the system of my friend whose blog it is. She’s the one who usually interacts with it.
We were also advised it might have been a brute-force attack against her ftp password.
Yeah, the injected iframe stuff for us was the lotultimatebet site.
I’ll see if her anti-virus software has rootkit detection.

In reply to: uploading plugin creates directory in wrong locationWell I didn’t really see it as the problem either, but when I unselected the option, the plugin upload and install process stopped creating the blog folder.
My answer to the question is YES: I didn’t even have a blog folder in the web-root, but the plugin install process (any plugin) creates blog, blog/wp-content, and blog/wp-content/plugins folders… plus folders under that last one that seemed weird but then I realized they were year/month/day folders.
So while it doesn’t seem like the uploads folder should have anything to do with the Permalinks setting, it seems like it does… which would make a certain amount of sense in that the directories under the strangely-created /blog included date folders.

In reply to: uploading plugin creates directory in wrong locationI think I know what it is… and your comments helped.
It was something that occurred to me might be happening but then I thought… “Nah!”
Because the blog is installed in root but is dynamically appearing at mydomain.com/blog, I have the Permalinks set to a custom value of “/blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/”
I just searched through
wp-optionsfor a value LIKE %upload% and one of them isuploads_use_yearmonth_folders, which is set to 1. I assume this is the source of the mysterious creation of the blog folder and I assume if I set it to 0, wp-content/uploads will show up where it’s supposed (under root).Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: uploading plugin creates directory in wrong locationThat’s right… Miscellaneous Store uploads in this folder is set to “wp-content/uploads”
It’s just that somewhere WordPress thinks it’s installed at mydomain.com/blog (but it’s not) which would explain the ongoing creation of mydomain.com/blog/wp-content/uploads.

In reply to: uploading plugin creates directory in wrong locationNope, Full URL path to files is blank.
I don’t have a blog subdiretory under my web-root folder; WordPress does keep creating one there when I try to install plugins, though.
What I do have is a page in WordPress called “Blog” with Permalink “http://www.mydomain.com/blog/” and then I have, under Administration > Settings > Reading, Posts page set to “Blog”
This lets me use another page as my “Front page” and have my blog show up at “http://www.mydomain.com/blog/”

In reply to: WP 2.7: static homepage at root and recent entries at /blogMe again… okay, so whenever we upload and install a plugin, the directory “/blog/wp-content/uploads” gets created in the site root, which of course screws up the setup described above.
I assume this is an artifact of me moving the blog from domain.com/blog to domain.com/ and forgetting a step or something. Is there some way I can correct this? Otherwise the site is working fine.

In reply to: WP 2.7: static homepage at root and recent entries at /blogThank you! That’s exactly what I wanted to know how to do.

In reply to: WP 2.7: static homepage at root and recent entries at /blogThanks for the advice, mrmist. Does anyone have a suggestion for something that doesn’t require going “outside” of WordPress? I’d really like to keep things as simple as possible from that side of things: i.e. have all the content generated by WordPress and not have to manually edit external pages.
