I love Wordpress but…
I’ve had problems with URLs ever since I upgraded to version 2. From what I found on the WordPress Support Forum, it’s a problem with how the .htaccess file is being written and real folders under the blog in the hierarchy. Since I had this blog in the root folder and a private blog in a sub-folder, whenever I tried to access my private blog I would be re-directed to the main blog. The only way to access it was to delete the Wordpress part of the .htaccess file but that would break the links on my main blog. I don’t know if this problem is restricted to Dreamhost customers or if that’s just the majority talking about it.
The only permanent solution I’ve come up with was to move the private blog to it’s own sub-domain. It’s a ridiculous thing for me to have to do and it was time-consuming but it was the only thing that worked. A note from one of the programmers that they’re aware of the problem on the offical blog would be nice. However, they are volunteers and I realize that they don’t have time for the extensive support you would expect from a commercial company.
