Issues with WP setup in sub-folder but operating from site root?

Before I got to far into setting things up, I wanted to see whether there are any potential issues with the DT theme and a sub-folder setup?

Specifically, for a little added security, I use a sub-folder WP setup for all of the files and content, but with index.php placed in the site root and modifying the require line to “/folder/wp-blog-header.php”

Generally this should be fine as long as the theme and plugins are all created properly.

One other specific reason I ask is that I have been unable to get a sample blog post to show up. I see the summary of the blog post, but get a 404 when going to it with permalinks set to %postname%, but can get to it with the default settings.

I’ve also deactivated all plugins, set and reset the permalinks several times and still same result.

Cheers
