WordPress URI v. Blog URI

Under what circumstances, if any, would the WordPress URI and the Blog URI be different? JoeyDay 04:55, 4 Oct 2005 (GMT)

  • I think for precisely the reason listed on the article page: Sometimes people use WordPress only as a sub-section of their web site. --Schulte 13:36, 4 Oct 2005 (GMT)

WordPress URI v. Blog URI

I believe there is a circumstance where it should be different and which is not listed on the page. If you have a SSL certificate for your site and have your WordPress admin set to being served via SSL but want the public site to be viewed via just HTTP, you should have the WordPress URL set to 'https://mysite.com', but the blog URL set to 'http://mysite.com'.
