# Previous Posts Problems

* I’m having some problems with my “previous posts” link at the bottom of my blog.
I’ve used the search function but didn’t find exactly what I was looking for.
* Anyway, the problem is that when I click on the “previous posts” link it wants
to take me to [http://www.mydomain.com/blog/blog/page2](http://www.mydomain.com/blog/blog/page2),
rather than the correct page which is [http://www.mydomain.com/blog/page/2](http://www.mydomain.com/blog/page/2).
I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get it to not double the “/blog”
part of the url. If I manually type in [http://www.mydomain.com/blog/page/2](http://www.mydomain.com/blog/page/2)
it works fine and the page displays as it should. Even the “next post” link works
correctly and takes me to [http://www.mydomain.com/blog](http://www.mydomain.com/blog).
* The php for the link looks like this:
*
* And the .htaccess file looks like:
*
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /wordpress/ RewriteCond%{
REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /wordpress/
index.php [L]
* No idea if it has anything to do with either of those, as I’m not a coder, but
from what I saw in my search of the forum those two pieces of code came up often
so I thought I’d post them.
* Any help? There’s got to be some way to fix this but I can’t see how. I’m no
coder so it’s possible that it’s something simple and I just don’t see it.

* That’s an old tag – use the latest one:

* Thanks moshu. I thought I’d read somewhere that the tag was outdated. Glad you
pointed me to the right one. Unfortunately, other than making the code a little
easier to read, it didn’t do anything to fix the problem. The link still wants
to take me to /blog/blog/page/2 rather than /blog/page/2.
* This is driving me nuts!

* Just a quick bump since I posted it at a rather odd hour and likely not a lot
of people saw it.
* Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? They’d be greatly appreciated.

* I am having the same problem when, after transferring all of my WP 2.3 files
over and going to the upgrade page, the end result is a blog/blog scenario in
the URL. I’ve never had this problem in previous upgrades. Thought it might be
in one of the index.php files, but that seemed to be a dead end. Help? Thanks!

* I can’t help: the site in your profile is going nowhere.

* Sorry – this it is now updated. Even when I enter [http://www.ronkainen.org/blog](http://www.ronkainen.org/blog),
the extra ‘blog’ is added to the URL.

* And what is in your admin > Options > General for the two URI values?

* If you mean from my admin screen, can you read that I cannot get there? [http://www.ronkainen.org/blog](http://www.ronkainen.org/blog)
takes me to a 404 automatically: [http://www.ronkainen.org/blog/blog](http://www.ronkainen.org/blog/blog).
I do not know why it is appending the final ‘blog’ to the end. Thanks anyway.
No need to be rude.
