this did not seem to work…but maybe I put it in the wrong place…here is my loop.php

[code moderated as per forum rules - please use the pastebin]

With no luck and no response from the forum. I reinstalled wp. I then tried a new theme. Same thing it did not install. Then I noticed in the very upper right hand corner in a very light shade “Activate Theme”. It was a tough lesson to learn.

I followed the tips found in http://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble#Site_URL_Redirecting.

My mistake was following the instuctions found in “Giving WordPress its own directory” There seems to be some type of conflict in the re-direct of forms when using this strategy.

No, when you hit submit on the login it does not seem to re-direct correctly. Thus my users are not seeing “write post”, “manage post”, etc

Items that should become avaialable after signing in, but do not (see post.php, edit.php, etc.)

?php global $user_ID; ?>

<div id=”sidebar”>

<?php if ($user_ID) { ?>
<h2><?php _e(‘User Options’); ?></h2>

• Write Post
• Manage Posts
• Your Profile
• Webmail

<?php wp_register(); ?>

• <?php wp_loginout(); ?>

<?php } ?>

Login Form

<?php if (!$user_ID) { ?>
<h2><?php _e(‘Login’); ?></h2>

• <form name=”loginform” id=”loginform” action=”/blog/wp-login.php” method=”post”>
  <label>Username: <input type=”text” name=”log” id=”log” value=”” size=”10″ tabindex=”7″ />
  </label>
  <label>Password: <input type=”password” name=”pwd” id=”pwd” value=”” size=”12″ tabindex=”8″ />
  </label>
  <label><input name=”rememberme” type=”checkbox” id=”rememberme” value=”forever” tabindex=”9″ />
  Remember me</label>
  <input type=”submit” name=”submit” id=”submit” value=”Submit” tabindex=”10″ />
  <input type=”hidden” name=”redirect_to” value=”/” /></form>

<?php } ?>

Okay it now works. I changed “/” to “/blog” in the submit form and now site admin, write post, etc. appears. 2 questions though :

1. Why does this work ? Below is the code.
2. When someone types in http://www.clanobrien.us it will take them to http://www.clanobrien.us. Should it take them to http://www.clanobrien.us/blog ?

<input type=”hidden” name=”redirect_to” value=”/” /></form>

Is there any thing I should review to determine why the site admin button does not appear after the initial sign-in ? If I later click on another link within the sidebar the site admin button appears. Thus I think that for some reason after I click on the submit button it is not running the below code:

<!– begin sidebar –>

<?php global $user_ID; ?>

<div id=”sidebar”>

<?php if ($user_ID) { ?>
<h2><?php _e(‘User Options’); ?></h2>

• Write Post
• Manage Posts
• Your Profile
• Webmail

<?php wp_register(); ?>

• <?php wp_loginout(); ?>

<?php } ?>
