 * I have installed my new blog at [http://alternative-me.exit-23.net](http://alternative-me.exit-23.net)—
   whereas alternative-me is considered to be a subdomain of exit-23.net. I also
   own the domain [http://alternative-me.com](http://alternative-me.com) and I have
   set up a redirect on my server so that if you type in [http://alternative-me.com](http://alternative-me.com),
   it goes to the new blog.
 * The settings in my WP blog are:
 * WordPress Address (URL): [http://alternative-me.com/wordpress](http://alternative-me.com/wordpress)(
   this field is greyed out and uneditable)
 * Blog Address (URL): [http://alternative-me.com](http://alternative-me.com)
 * All of the pretty permalinks appear to be working fine except when I go to the
   wp-admin directory directly. When I type in [http://alternative-me.com/wordpress/wp-admin/](http://alternative-me.com/wordpress/wp-admin/),
   the URL changes to one of the following and sometimes will not accept the correct
   login and password.
 * [http://alternative-me.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://alternative-me.com/wordpress/wp-admin/](http://alternative-me.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://alternative-me.com/wordpress/wp-admin/)
 * [http://alternative-me.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://alternative-me.exit-23.net/wordpress/wp-admin/](http://alternative-me.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://alternative-me.exit-23.net/wordpress/wp-admin/)
 * If I click the meta WP Admin link on the home page of my blog, the url remains
   correct and unchanged and allows me to login with no issues.
 * I do not recall WP working this way on my previous blogs using previous versions.
   I can’t verify this as I have already upgraded my one remaining existing blog
   and it is also mimicking this perplexing behavior.
 * Thanks in advance for any help!

 * Hmmm…This post doesn’t come up in searches and it won’t let me add tags. I hope
   no one minds the bump too much. I’m very perplexed.

 * I’m also having this same problem and its interfering with one of the themes 
   I am using. Anyone find any solutions for this?

 * I experienced this problem on BlueHost after using an addon domain, the “old”
   hidden domain pops up in the redirect_to parameter.
 * I installed WP with Simple Scripts on the final domain, and no trace of the alternate
   hidden domain in the options…
 * I solved it by unassigning the addon domain and adding it again.
 * Perhaps it would help understanding (from the WP developers) how the redirect_to
   field is filled up by the system…

 * Check your wp-config.php file and see if the wrong URL is being defined in there.
   If the section in the Settings > General area is grayed out, it usually means
   that it is already defined in the wp-config.php
