If you are running your blog in a subdirectory, but have a different [wp_siteurl](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/giving-wordpress-its-own-directory/), you don't need the redirect, because the index.php will take care of that.
### What if you are running your blog behind a reverse proxy with Apache? ###
If you are using a reverse proxy with Apache to run your host you may encounter that you are unable to have followers join the blog. This will occur because the proxy system rewrites the host headers to be the internal DNS name of your server, which the plugin then uses to attempt to sign the replies. The remote site attempting to follow your users is expecting the public DNS name on the replies. In these cases you will need to use the 'ProxyPreserveHost On' directive to ensure the external host name is passed to your internal host.
If you are using SSL between the proxy and internal host you may also need to `SSLProxyCheckPeerName off` if your internal host can not answer with the correct SSL name. This may present a security issue in some environments.
### Constants ###
The plugin uses PHP Constants to enable, disable or change its default behaviour. Please use them with caution and only if you know what you are doing.
