I had the same problem. Thanks for the solution. I’m running WordPress 2.1 on a windows server. I wonder if that’s the issue.
I had to alter your solution a little (to accommodate GET variables being tagged onto the URL). Here’s what my index.php file looks like in my root folder:
<?php
$varString = "";
foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
if ($varString == "") {
$varString = "?";
} else {
$varString .= "&";
}
$varString .= $key . "=" . $value;
}
include 'http://PATH_TO_WORDPRESS/index.php' . $varString;
?>
