    we are evaluation wordpress.com as a hosting solution to enable the blog section on our .com site. the plane is as follows:
    the goal is to seamlessly integrate the wp site into the existing site at ourdomin.com/blog

    1 – build a /blog page in pw to servie as the blog start page, all pages and posts will be below this page (blog/page-1, blog/post-22, etc)
    2 – connect the sub-domain; blog.ourdomin.com -> ourdomain.wordpress.com
    3 – configure AWS cloudfront ogigin to pull from blog.ourdomin.com
    4 – configure AWS cloudfront behavior to route all requests to ourdomin.com/blog/* to the blog.ourdomin.com origin (ourdomin.com/blog -> blog.ourdomin.com/blog )

    this all works, we’ve done simmalar configs before and it’s not very difficult, however, without modifying the WP_HOME or the home option value, wordpress is going to render all the urls as with the sub domain blog.ourdomin.com/blog/ when what we need is ourdomin.com/blog/*

    my question is: will wordpress.com hosting allow updating that value?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    update:
    i’ve setup the CND and the wp site and i see that wp is redirecting to the subdomain (blog.everbody.com)

    and it appears that changes to home and url options have no effect

    is there a solution to this problem??
    i can’t the your only client that want to use wp in their sire is a sun directory like this
