# Domain pointer causing duplicate string in URI

 * When you click the previous entries button on my blog, I get a Not Found with“
   The requested URL //brandondalton.com/brandondalton.com/index.php was not found
   on this server.” It’s easy enough to see the problem–brandondalton.com is listed
   twice. It has to do with the way my host has my 3 domains set up (as subdomains
   of the host with pointers to them.) Anyway, the host verified that it has to 
   do with the domain pointer, but not where to fix it. They fixed a similar problem
   with my search button, but I just noticed this one.
 * Would someone mind directing me to where at what to update to fix this? It will
   take hours on the phone (when they finally answer–last time had to keep trying
   for a couple of weeks).
 * Thanks in advance. Loving WP. 😀

   Check siteurl and home are correct.
 * then:
    Switch off ALL plugins that could possibly affect site navigation – static
   pages plugins, that sort of thing
 * then:
    add this line to wp-config.php define(‘DISABLE_CACHE’, true);
 * then delete everything inside
    wp-content/cache
 * then clear your browser cache and cookies.
 * If all that fails to remove the problem, I’d go poke the nhost again because 
   I can’t see what else it can be. Also, if it WAS working well and then suddenly
   broke when you did nothing, the finger of guilt points at the host again.
