Wordpress alongside CI

I guess sometimes you just need to say it outloud right? Or at least type it!

So, for Nelson and bretticus and anyone else that might read this, there is a very easy and admittedly rather stupid fix for this problem. You have to actually do what word press tells you to do! (I'm not being insulting here, and fell into the same trap)!

First off, there are two entries in the wp-options table that will need to have the URL fixed in them. A quick search for SELECT * from wp_options where option_value like '%domain%' should bring them right to the front for you.

That part was pretty easy for me to find. The real key however was logging into the admin section and going to the Settings > Permalinks section. Near the bottom of that page they GIVE you what you need to put in your www.domain.com/blog/.htaccess file. To Bretticus' point, this will override the .htaccess in your root directory. Very thoughtful of them to just give you the answer don't you think? If only I read more!

Hope this helps someone!
