Dre, the same thing is happening to me. Did you resolve the issue?

This totally helped! But then I changed a permalink setting and I cannot access my backend. When I go to website.com/wp-admin it now goes to website.com/original-subfolder/wp-admin which now doesn’t match the wp and blog uri addresses.

Do you have any ideas? Thank you in advance!

It is a weird bug. I had that issue as well. You need to set your .htaccess script in your root correctly for this to work properly. It has something to do with redirects. Not sure, but I after awhile with the newest WordPress upgrades, it seems to have been corrected. Perhaps their permalink script url is working better now.

I’d take a look at the wp-config.php file as well.

I have done this to redirect but now I am having a problem logging in to wordpress’s backend… I type the url with /wp-admin and then it redirects me to wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.velozdh.com%2Fvelozdh%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1 and then everytime I put in my password and username it says wrong password…

the only way to get in is to, after trying to go to /wp-admin/ and then it redirects to the above address… I get rid of the trailing ?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.velozdh.com%2Fvelozdh%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1 stuff so it looks like http://www.velozdh.com/wp-admin.php and then it will redirect again only this time it will work!

Very strange!
if i type http://www.velozdh.com/wp-admin.php from the get go then it does the same problem…

I have this happening on two different accounts where the main domain is using this redirect method and wordpress is being used

I solve the problem…thanks anyway

I had a code line with rewrite rule that was unnecessarily for the .htaccess file root

It works. But the sites of my addon domains are not be loaded with “www.domain.com”. Only with “www.domain.com/index.php”

I put a .htaccess file on addon domain subdirectory with the folowing code: DirectoryIndex index.php. but this not works.

how can i change the subdirectory .htaccess file to do this?

Nice! Very useful!
I didn’t run into a problem with the .htaccess being rewritten but I had to put the original .htaccess in the directory where I put my WordPress install. Concatenating the two files didn’t seem to work. So, move all the relevant files to a directory, including the .htaccess file from WordPress. Create a new .htaccess in your root directory, adding the necessary information. Try everything.
Something I did do which didn’t seem to hurt is change the location in the advanced settings for SimpleScripts (that I used to create the install). Methinks that it should be possible to do a fresh install in that new directory and pop in the new .htaccess in the root to the same effect. I don’t feel like trying it but it might be worth a shot.
This is with WordPress 3.0 Multi-Sites created with SimpleScripts but with SQL imported from another webhost.
