I'm looking at cleaning up a bunch of WP blogs I've inherited the servers of and I'm looking to push all admin of all blogs under a single domain name for ssl benefits etc. I think I've got this all sorted, but I'd like to check if it's meant to be possible to view blog contents whilst using the site url as opposed to the blog address. As all admin is redirected nicely to the site url I'd have thought the blog entries should be visible there too. I've been assuming this is a config error on my part, but now wondering if that is even meant to work in the first place?

Thanks, Chris

Oh,. these are blogs generally running 3.1 I believe

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

If I understand you correctly, you just need to go to Settings>Reading, and choose Front Page Displays: Your Latest Posts. The "blog" will automatically be the base URL.

no, that's not at all what I meant. a site as a "blog address" and a "site url". I understand the differences, but am asking if a blog should display pages correctly if accessed via the site "url" as opposed to the "blog address". Currently I always get a "Sorry, the page you requested can not be found" faux WP generated 404. Should this happen? – Chris Phillips Sep 4 '11 at 8:33
Could you explain a little better what you are talking about when you say "blog address" and a "site url". This doesn't really make sense to me. If you are calling the "Blog" the page that shows the "Posts" and not "static Pages", then you can make any page a "Blog". You simply follow the instructions I mentioned in my answer, or you can choose front page displays a Static Page and then choose a page from the dropdown below to choose a page template that displays the posts or "blog". – Jeremy Jared Sep 4 '11 at 14:16
Again, I mean the "site url" and the "home address" as defined in the config. codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL – Chris Phillips Sep 6 '11 at 8:44
