Pretty Permalinks

  I had an issue with my .htaccess file, and having wiped it, resolved that issue. Now I am faced with another issue which is that all my permalinks are headed by /blog/ . This is rather annoying as all my previous (and indexed) links are now 404s.

  This is how my CURRENT access file looks like (at least the WordPress part of it).

  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)wp-comments-post.php*
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(.*)thecatswhiskers.nl.*
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://jetpack.wordpress.com/jetpack-comment/ [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ – [F,L]

  </IfModule>
  # END Better WP Security

  # BEGIN WordPress
  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . index.php [L]
  </IfModule>
  # END WordPress

  This is at the end of the file, there is some stuff from a security plugin before that.

  At this moment, In my Permanlinks settings I can only choose from the following:

  Default http://thecatswhiskers.nl/?p=123
  Day and name http://thecatswhiskers.nl/blog/2013/02/27/sample-post/
  Month and name http://thecatswhiskers.nl/blog/2013/02/sample-post/
  Numeric http://thecatswhiskers.nl/blog/archives/123
  Post name http://thecatswhiskers.nl/blog/sample-post/
  Custom Structure http://thecatswhiskers.nl/blog

  Where it used to be without “blog”. What I want is something like this:

  Custom Structure http://thecatswhiskers.nl/%classification*%/%Sample-post%/ (*or whatever it was termed – I don’t know the specific terminology).

  That is to say “site – my classifcation – my post”.

  Any suggestions? Thanks, Moriarty

  PS if this is in the wrong part of the forum, please move it where appropriate. M

  Only they’re terrible. They don’t know anything about code. Waste of time.

  I’ll have to try something else. Usually if it comes to a .htaccess file it’s me that answers.

  I am very disappointed. Never mind, that seems to be way of WordPress. See ya. M
