    Default domain name not displaying correctly except on home page

    Hi,

    On one of my websites, princesskateandprincewilliam.org, when I access the home page it displays the full domain name, which is correct.

    However, whenever I click on a recent post it displays as if it is a subdomain, like the following:

    princesskate.manzee.com/if-prince-william-marries-kate-can-she-become-queen/

    It should display as /princesskateandprincewilliam.org/if-prince-william-marries-kate-can-she-become-queen/, and NOT as a subdomain.

    All my other domains on this host work correctly.

    How do I fix this so the domain and post displays correctly?

    The response I received from webhostbuzzing support was way off base:

    "Unfortunately we do not install, configure or support third party scripts. If you need some assistance with some of such scripts you will need to contact the development of this script. Feel free to contact us for any other information."

    Thank you.

    That seems like a reasonable response from Support. This is clearly something you have done when you created the site or the Worpress account. That site, ://princesskate.manzee.com, is referenced in many lines in the HEAD of your HTML file:

    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for your reply. When I set this up as an addon domain, it would not allow me to set up a document root name of /princesskateandprincewilliam.org, saying it was too long.

    So yes, i did have problems when I set up the domain name.

    Is there a way to fix the document root name? I've tried renaming it, but that doesn't seem to work.

    thanks,
    Mark

    I am not familiar with how to configure Wordpress sites. Perhaps you should ask in a Wordpress forum.

    Just to confirm though, this is something you did and not a problem with WHB.

    It is not a problem with WHB but with my setup.

    I'm glad you solved it.

    Be sure to keep Wordpress updated, to patch any security holes. User-installed scripts are your responisibility. See further information in this article on the WebHostingBuzz Blog:
