 I recently installed Wordpress into a different directory. So the page is
 accessed by going to http://mypages.com/ but the WP installation is in
 http://mypages.com/wp/

 I did this using the exact instructions here:
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

 The site is not MultiSite.

 It works perfectly EXCEPT when it comes to previewing posts. If I preview
 a unpublished, draft post, it tries to access
 http://mypages.com/?p=114&preview=true — which doesn't work.

 The only funny thing about this install (which is brand-new) the different
 directory. (The same theme, files, version, etc. work fine on a testing
 server where Wordpress is installed in the same directory.)

 I also have trouble previewing changes — I get this form of URL for pages
 and this form for posts:

 http://mypages.com/2012/12/03/post-
 title/?preview=true&preview_id=65&preview_nonce=41dd6ae5b9

 http://mypages.com/page-
 title/?preview=true&preview_id=43&preview_nonce=35c393cf95

 For both I get the following response: "You do not have permission to
 preview drafts."

 Again, the only thing different between this install and another, cloned
 install is the ability to have Wordpress in its own directory. I suspect
 the same sort of bug is at the heart of both.

 Not having the ability to preview posts or changes is a "major" bug in my
 book — it's pretty key for all of us who don't want to fly blind!
