Hello

I've configured the roots theme on a fresh installation of Wordpress 3.2.1.

I wanted my site to show my posts on a page called blog but once I configured the theme, I wasn't able to access the http://example.com/blog page => forbidden error.

There's a rule on the `.htaccess` that blocks access to some source files:

```apache
# Block access to backup and source files
# This files may be left by some text/html editors and
# pose a great security danger, when someone can access them

Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All

```
This rule will match the URL http://www.example.com/blog and block the access to it.

A possible RegExp for achieving the intended result could be

```apache

```

Thanks,
Francisco
