Blog

Hi,

I've installed a WordPress blog, and it's in a directory /blog. Now, when I got to mysite.com/blog, the www never shows. I'd like to have www. show at all times, any of you know what I need to do?

I tried this in the index.php file, which works for my forums, but not my blog:

Code:

header('Location: http://www.mysite.org/blog');

You need to add lines to the .htaccess file in the Blog directory, just like the ones in your root .htaccess. (adding the /blog to the redirected url, of course. )

Details here: 301 Redirecting Domains

Yes, I created a .htaccess file with the following inside:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.techsupportteam\.org
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.techsupportteam.org/blog/$1 [R=301,L]

I then uploaded it to my blog directory, but I then get the following:

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

Also tried:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.techsupportteam\.org
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.techsupportteam.org/blog/$1 [R=301,L]

What is your blog URL as defined in Wordpress options?

I've done it now, thanks Oleg. I just had to add www in my wordpress options LOL.

Your help is much appreciated!

I have one more question. I want to create some pages, that go to another url, such as my forums. However, it doesn't give me the option to input the url -- yet I've seen it done...any ideas how to do this?

Also, how do I get my favicon show?

Regards Jason

Anyone?

not sure what you're asking here...

Also, how do I get my favicon show?

add
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />

in the head

For the links; take a look at my blog: Tech Support Team You see where it says home? Well, I want to put a forums tab ect.. there and it redirects them to the forums.

I added:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" /> in the head, but it still doesn't show -- works for my forums, though.

And to add, I've put WordPress in a seperate database -- is that ok, or is it best having it in the same as my forums?

Regards Jason

database doesn't matter, so long as you don't ever want to do a query in a word press plugin to pull forum info, and vice versa. it CAN be done, but its a lot more complex than a simple join.

As for the link... you'll have to modify the template and put one in there.

Most likely, there's a loop for 'page' while have_page($before='<li>' . . . . ) {} or something like that.
just hard code a link to your forums after that while loop in a list.

i wouldn't put them in the same database, personally.

for help adding a tab, look to where you got the wordpress theme.

Ok, thanks. Any ideas why the favicon isn't working?
