Hello all - I have installed WP. Because google considered www.domain.com to be a mirror for domain.com, I have modified my .htaccess to make the 301 redirect. I don't know if this is related, but I keep getting "sorry, but you need to enable sending referrer to use this feature." WP does say that doing a mod_rewrite in the .htaccess file can screw things up, so suggests renaming the .htaccess file. But if I simply rename the file, won't this screw up everything else under the sun? I'm going nuts. I have made explicit my site's permission in IE, and followed WP's suggestion for firefox (looking at about:config); I've also followed WP's instructions re: zone alarms and third party cookies, but I am still getting the error message and cannot do anything - i.e., choosing another theme. I should add that the other thing WP recommends - such as ensuring that the siteurl inside the wp_options table of the Mysql database is set to the root folder or directory of the blog url are one and the same, holds here. My blog subdirectory is domain.com/outblog, and the siteurl points to the same directory. So, I am at a loss. Any help would be appreciated...
Well, I might have answered my own question. My redirect is from domain.com to www.domain.com. Inside my WP admin options, the blog address was domain.com/outblog. I changed both my WP url and my blog url to www.domain.com/outblog, and, knock on wood, it seems to be working. I am a newbie so I'm sure most are beyond all this - but hope it helps someone struggling with the problem. In my case, making sure the admin options were explicitly set to my 301-redirected landing page seemed to help. Paul
FS - thanks, that article is the one I was using when I indicated "WP's suggestion for ..." Best, Paul
