I understand your opinion on ~ in URLs. It is, however, the default Userdir behavior on an Apache installation. The %7E and ~ are transparent to Apache–it’s specifically WP that is reading %7E and ~ as being different. :-/

But, I thank you for your reply. I guess I’m going to have to live with WP’s behaviour on this for now.

Thanks!

Hi.. um.. I have the home directory stuff working. Perhaps I wasn’t clear.

The URL is http://www.wingfoot.org/~ges/ this *WORKS*! Honest–it does!

Now, someone tried to link to me, but their software (Blogger) changes the ~ to a %7E (% 7 E in case it’s not showing), and tries to pass that on as the URL. Instead of WP reading the %7E, and going “Oh yeah, that’s a ~” it’s going “Oh this isn’t the right URL, so this is a 404!”

Hence my original question… Thank you for your reply, however. 🙂
