Ah - found it now - a bit of .htaccess redirect at the orginal url would have helped. Plus there's now an increased number of validation errors (157) and 3 CSS errors.

OK, I see what's happened: they've moved the site, and changed the URL. No redirect on the original one, though... hence the confusion. I've updated the post accordingly.

Funny, I looked at it last night, and it seemed to have been fixed. They've done something really very odd. Now, far be it from me to recommend hiring genuine WordPress expertise (ahem)...

Some 19 hours after I spotted the site was redirecting to wp-login it's still doing it. Note to DCSF: whilst I applaud your use of WordPress you must try harder...

Er... I'm now advised that the site is redirecting itself (at least temporarily) to its own wp-login page. Like I said, with uncharacteristic tact, there are things about the site which I'd have done differently....

Looks a bit of a sorry shoddy show doesn't it? Even I know those are basic errors.
