Comment:

 I resolved this specifically by:

 1. moving the wordpress site back to the root directory from the
 subdirectory
 1. running the site and logging in.
 1. Move site back to own subdirectory
 1. reset the htaccess to that which is recommended in the above link.

 '''Updates shouldn't be able to break that though, it should be designed
 better.'''

 '''A colossal amount of time was wasted in restoring the site.'''
