Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: Authentication Redirect Loop Redux…I’m looking to support more than one site out of the /wordpress install, hence the desire to get multisite up and running. I currently only run one blog from the WordPress install but I need to add two more. I will eventually get it working but I wanted to start with a clean install so that I am not trying to solve pre-existing problems while at the same time figuring out new functionality. Based on the explanations codex.wordpress.org, WordPress will work in multisite mode from its own directory without adding my own alterations. I am looking to understand that implementation first. Once I understand that, I can start to add layers of complication.

In reply to: Authentication Redirect Loop Redux…I gave up. Deleted everything. Going to start over with a clean install and rebuild from there.
Thank you for your time.

In reply to: Authentication Redirect Loop Redux…These instructions explain setting up WordPress to run from its own directory:

In reply to: Authentication Redirect Loop Redux…http://mydomain.com/blog/ is where the blog resides. It will continue to reside there. I’m transitioning to multisite because I want to support a couple more blogs off the same install of wordpress.
It is set up as a subfolder network and SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL is defined as false in the wp-config.
If there is no .htaccess or if the .htaccess is step up for single use, there is no redirect loop. The redirect loop only occurs when multisite is set up.

In reply to: Authentication Redirect Loop Redux…One install of WP set up to work from its own directory. The blog directory only contains an index.php file and a .htaccess file. The WordPress directory contains the normal WordPress files.

In reply to: Authentication Redirect Loop Redux…Hello derrick_w. Thanks for responding. I was developing a complex.
So, WP is installed at ~/htmlHome/wordpress/ the URL of which is http://mydomain.com/wordpress/. The one and only blog currently running on this install of WP is at ~/htmlHome/blog/, the URL of which is http://mydomain.com/blog/.
Everything works as advertised when using non-multisite .htaccess and wp-config.php files. When using the multisite .htaccess and wp-config.php files, everything except the login page work as they should. The blog loads normally. It is only the login page that has problems. Once multisite is turned on, any attempt to access http://mydomain.com/wordpress/wp-admin/ results in a redirect loop.

OK. I’ve read through this thread multiple times. Tried and retried the suggested solutions. I get nothing but redirect authorization loop. So, here are my details.
WordPress is installed at: ~/htmlRoot/wordpress/
Current blog is installed at: ~/htmlRoot/blog/In non-multisite mode, this setup works fine. However, when I follow the instructions (here) and then try to log in, I get this in the browser address bar:
My .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /blog/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^ - [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L]Obviously am I missing something. Can I buy a clue?

Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: css links: hard coded vs bloginfo( 'stylesheet_url' )OK, so that makes a lot of sense for theme development so that the end user doesn’t need to set the path by hand. In the case of my personal site, making the choice to hand jam the URLs for the style sheets shouldn’t incur any drawbacks.
Further feedback still appreciated. GraphicGeek, thank you very much.

In reply to: Head Tags: coded vs directForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Head Tags: coded vs directSo, I have to admit, I’m finding this a little frustrating. Based on The Thematic Guide there appears to be some advantage to putting additions to the
<head>section in the function.php file instead of putting them directly into the head.php file. However, I can find no clear documentation on what those advantages are. There are seven function calls in the Thematic head.php file. Where are those functions defined? The same function names do not exist in the Thematic functions.php file. I’d like to be able to look at the function being called so that I can understand where it pulls the information from.I am new to WordPress and php. If the answers to these questions are obvious, I apologize for my ignorance. I’ll be happy to RTFM, if I can just find the FM.

Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Head Tags: coded vs directHey Christine, thanks for the reply.
When you insert things into the head.php, is there a rhythm or reason as to where it should go from WordPress’s point of view? I understand the implications with regard to the browsers.
Also, the best way to do that is to copy the head.php file into the child directory and edit it from there, correct?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Head Tags: coded vs directAfter reading this thread, I am really wondering what the advantages are? I went through The Ultimate WordPress Theme Tutorial and I did learn some useful php/wordpress code to use in the
<head>section. I also understand the value of codematically produced<head>sections in templates used by those who do not wish to code. I’m just not sure what the best approach for my needs is.Smittie

In reply to: Error 403 – Forbidden on loginSo it turns out that index.php is not in the default list of file names supported by Apache as index page titles. I added to the Apache config file and WordPress now works as advertise.
