I want to make a blog of the books I’ve read. I want the home page to have a list of books, and I want to be able to have posts for each individual book. For example, the main page will have books A, B, & C. Clicking each one will open up a mini-blog of that book, with my progress and review updates.
If I start a new book, I’d like to create a new post on the main page, which will create Boot D, and a mini blog for book D that I can add new posts to. Can you please help? How should I do this? Is there a plugin that can help? I’d like to avoid just using tags, and I notice there is no way to have posts for pages.

Thanks a lot!

Hope this is a quick one.
I have a WordPress (4.0) Multisite installation, and Id like to have the main site ssl secured, but not all the subblogs (subdirectory install).

How can I easily do this with this plugin, and if not with this plugin, how can I do this?

Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Aron

I’ve ripped it down to barebones. Not just disabled every plugin, but removed them.

I’d really prefer to avoid having to wipe and restore the whole blog — especially since everything is still there, even if it’s not functioning quite right.

The easiest way to illustrate the problem is by example:
sandbox is a snapshot from a few months ago of the main site that I made for tinkering with setting, plugins, themes, etc.

As you can see the images have all gone away. Except they haven’t. They’re still there, intact, proper permissions, et al. on the server if you FTP in.

Some things of interest:
1) before the images went away I lost the ability to use permalinks. Pages, posts, categories, and everything has to be navigated by ID tags and I had to restore the permalink structure to default. Turning any kind of rewrite back on just goes back to 404 errors.

2) I still can’t use permalinks, but for some reason the images aren’t working even by ID.

3) The images issue is only happening with the subblogs. The main has only the permalink issue.

I’m not squeamish about editing PHP, SQL, even going in with a hex editor and manipulating the metadata of the bloody JPEGs, but I’ve no idea what I’m looking for and 3 or 4 days of scouring Google has led to an hundred suggestions that didn’t work.

Plugins — all gone.
Theme — as you can see, Sandbox has been reverted to the Twenty-Ten theme.
.htaccess — wiped, restored, rewritten, hacked with umpteen different things ranging in age from 3.0RC problems identical to this, to 3.1.1 versions (nothing happened, but I may have overlooked goofed somewhere)

I’m at wit’s end.

I have backups, but I’ve a feeling that what really needs restored is the SQL databases, and that’s such a nightmare and feels like overkill since I’ve a feeling one option somewhere has gotten set to something stupid and could just be fixed if I could simply find it.

I have a main blog at https://www.lameazoid.com

I have (currently) two sub blogs, at https://fotd.lameazoid.com and https://www.lameazoid.com/droidblog .

What I’d like to do, is have the entries from the sub blogs show up in the feed of the main blog looking like normal entries. When you click on the entry to leave a comment or view it directly through, it should link tot he sub blog. I could easily feed the other blogs into the main blog but mostly I want to be able to keep comments all together.

The point of the sub blogs is to segment out content some people may not be interested in. If I find a way to do this like I’d like I’ll probably subset out a lot more content in the same manner.

I have the following issue.
When I create a new blog let’s set it gets and ID of 10 it automatically gets a directory for its files in:
/wp-content/blogs.dir/10/

The files I upload via Media go into:
/wp-content/blogs.dir/10/files/

And they are visible via https://blogsubdomain/files/filename

I would like to be able to upload files (by FTP only) into:
/wp-content/blogs.dir/10/

And have them be visible under:
http;//blogssubdomain/

(without the /files).

The only issue is that when I upload them there they are not visible

What can I do to be able to upload files into the main blog directory and have them visible by the direct subdomain.

Please help
