I’ll keep looking, but no, the options table is clean, no paths displayed. permissions are set, owner/user account is www-data as normal for unbuntu. File permissions are correct as everything works except uploaded images, which do upload but don’t display, thus leaving me with htaccess rewrite rules or other possible issues.

@bemdesign
Thanks, yes I checked the db and only the url is stored, no paths and that is correct as it didn’t change.

once again thanks for advice, I’ll keep looking and post a solution when I get one.

@bemdesign no I didn’t do that, first time hearing of it, I’ll try to find a guide for changing paths in the db. Actually rather shocked that any of that would be stored in the db and not a config variable, but will check non the less… thanks for pointer

Thank you for jumping in to help out. Under ‘normal’ circumstances this would work. However, I am using 1 set of WordPress code, themes and plugins for all sites. By defining the wp-content directory, I would be forced to have different themes and plugins for each site, thus killing the concept.

Best described is setting up a server with same code used for all sites, yet each site much have its own ‘files’ directory to store media etc…

*btw, wpmu is not a solution as they are all different client sites with different users etc. Some client sites use wpmu, others just standard wp.

Absolutely perfect!

I was totally heartbroken when they removed the metaboxes from the core. With them in the core like they were in the beta I was finding it much easier to get plugin and theme authors to consider adding support. Now that it is a separate plugin, I have found that every author I talk to has no more interest as the work just isn’t worth it to many of them.

@sutherland
I would make one suggestion and that is if you could come up with an easy function where we could extend video images to work in other custom fields that would help a lot. Just some code we could add to the theme functions.php.

Just thinking something that says, add_video_thumbnail_support(‘metabox/custom-field-id’); would be awesome.

Are you able to provide a download link to your modified version that creates new tables for each blog? I’m only guessing that by now you have answered your last questions and have everything working right, if so, it would be appreciated if you are able to share it.

Thanks for the great input guys! I am definitely going to keep varnish as it’s currently working great. I think that I will look more into the configuration file setups that I have with everything on the server and see if there is more I can squeeze there.

I haven’t even begun to read about optimizing mysql so I’m sure that there is a lot of headway I can make there for my logged in users (buddypress/bbpress). Then there is the varnish and soon to be apc configuration scripts, and of course, I’m sure there are many more I am not even thinking of like php etc..

@petermolnar
Thank you. As I said, I am completely new to cache layers, so my question might be irrelevant. I’m just looking to squeeze every bit of performance that I can out of my small server instance. I only went with varnish because I found a great step by step article on installing it with nginx and so far the results are amazing.

no download again, tried for hours

Is it possible to add an option in the settings whether to use custom shortcode or not in the future release?

Yes, you nee to redo the changes after an upgrade and no it will not become a setting in the near future, because it is not officially supported

What is the problem with adding a simple setting in the plugin admin if it solves the problem? If you won’t do that, how about at least making the function filterable so that we can make the change in our theme functions file or custom plugin? Afterall, that’s pretty much how all of WordPress is built…

Do you have a better solution for getting jwplayer shortcodes to work in custom fields?

Thanks Otto
I was thinking that was the case as I had followed the directions perfectly.

For now, I will just use a different plugin for Facebook until yours is more stable. Your a much better coder than the other plugin author so it is worth me waiting for.

Have a great week and thanks for the info.

Thanks, that explains it. Suppose I should have just read the plugin code itself and figured that out on my own…. lazy on my part.

To answer your points.

1. Yes these are totally separate domain names just like the domain mapping plugin uses. One custom domain name per language used.

2. Yes, this is of course multisite, sub-domains in my case.

I will try installing the plugin again to see if I missed something. It seemed no matter what I tried, the wp-register.php page never would show the register via facebook icon as I expected and instead only showed the standard WordPress registration form.
