Woo hoo! I fixed it all by my little self. Seems I somehow managed to NOT save the changes to the .htaccess and wp-config files when editing. Duh! Thanks for all the help, Andrea!

Okay, I restored my database, leaving the .htaccess and wp-config files I already corrected the same. I got the site back, but the SuperAdmin is still there? Any suggestions?

HELP!!!! I followed directions then went in to log-in to WP admin and got “Error Establishing Database Connection.” Luckily, I backed everything up before changing. What next? Thanks again!

Yes, it had to do with the Featured Images in the ithemes theme I was using. I had to designate each picture as a featured image.

Just to clarify, I added it after installing multisite. So, is it considered a sub-site, or since it is the first and only 1 installed is it considered the main site? I don’t need to back-up and reimport or anything?

Thanks again. Sorry for the newbie question. : )

One more question…what do I do with the 1 blog I already have installed that I want to keep as my main blog? And do I have to reinstall any of the plugins, or will they stay put?

LOL I am learning that the key to all this is patience.

Just within the one blog. I only have one site active, but had intentions of others later. I just set it up as Multisite for later use.

I have been in contact with the ithemes guys, and they are aware of the bug but no idea on a fix or timeframe yet.

I actually said that wrong. It is a plug-in not a theme. I have a plug-in from iThemes that allows me to post scrolling blog posts from specified categories and apparently it is having problems with the Multisite feature. Unless you can suggest another plug-in that would do the same feature?

Thank you. I find the plug-in that is the culprit. It is a paid one through my iThemes account, and they are working on it. I so appreciate the help!

Yes, the one response I have received said that it should be automatically done by WordPress, but obviously it isn’t working. I have put in another response to them and am waiting. Thanks for trying to help!

It is supposed to work just like standard WordPress. I have the Builder theme from iThemes. But when I go to any category directory it just takes me back to my home page. See this link.

I also tried setting up a page for the category, but all it gives me is the title and doesn’t pull any posts onto it.

Here is my archive.php file:

Thank you, thank you! Worked like a charm. I am just learning all this. Can you tell? : ) Trying to learn PHP, WordPress, Apache, HTML, AND CSS all at the same time is an overwhelming task. I so appreciate people like you who are willing to help others learn. Thanks again!

I don’t see an #END WordPress. Is it not necessary?

I guess my concern is that it will somehow mess up the network options by having the rewrite rules in a separate file. So far it seems to be working. I guess I’m being anal because I thought there was only supposed to be one file, but every time I try to merge them I get the 500 Error again. I don’t want to get down the road setting up the network and have a problem. I guess I’ll leave it as is for now until I see another problem. Thanks for all the help.
