Where the heck is the naked DJ at?? he's a Wordpress-blog master

you guys are right in that its the wordpress rewrite rules

heres the thing...the members section is totally outside of wordpress so it shouldnt matter but the rewrite rules of the parent directory are the culprit.

at least thats what Im told by my hosting company.

my southernbukkake site does the same thing but it works fine...I think because I use strongbox there and it uses its own login page.

does anyone know how to turn off the rewrite rules in .htaccess in the members section because once the user hits the members page they are out of wordpress for good.

I know diddly_squat about apache directives

Mike, your host should be able to make it so that the child directory doesn't inherit the restrictions placed by the root htaccess. Ask them to check it.

Also, when you refer to your member directory, is the linking URL entirely explicit to the destination page? Sometimes incomplete or "fuzzy" URLs can cause an issue.

havent gotten that far yet alex

as i general rule i do want the directories to inherit the rewrite rules but not in this case

can i turn off mod rewrite in the .htaccess file in the child directory which is where the members dir will live

if so how (I know squat about apache directives....)

Mike,

If you want to keep the members section independent of WP, how about a sub-directory instead of a folder?

members.mikesouth.com for example.

Since you are already using WP, why not keep the members area as part of it?

That's what I would do. There's a ton of great plugins for all kinds of members stuff.

If you go that route, I would use aMember (in conjunction with ccbill) for the payment processing.

We use aMember on http://joannaangel.com with ccbill along with Joomla as the CMS.

Knowing what I know now though, I probably would have used WP for the CMS.
