Alrighty, well, I’ll have a double check of my htaccess tonight sometime and see if that’s alright and go from there.

Thanks for all the insight…I am really hoping I can crowbar WordPress into working for this project!

I added a subsite, got no error, then try to visit the site and get an error. huh. ??

Better check my htaccess code.

When I used WordPress MU years ago (VERY early version) it was much easier to set up and use than this appears to be…it’s getting frustrating, but I am determined to figure this out. I would much rather use WordPress for this project than Drupal…the subdirectory 404 issue is a drag, anything else I can work around, but this is odd.

This is the first subsite I have created, yes. When I go to preview it it is linked to domain.com/subdirectory and it gives me a 404 on the subdirectory.

The main site works just fine, but the subsite is looking for that physical subdirectory and 404ing on it.

meaning… ?

Oh, yeah, I see the theme control, but what I was hoping is to have one single theme (like the included one) which allows unique backgrounds, headers and CSS color changes for each site without needing a new theme copy for each site. I will look into the plugin thanks much!

One other oddity I see, my multisite is a subdirectory system (if I recall, that is the one you can also use domain mapping with)…so, I added a second blog so I can start playing around with users, roles and crap…now I see it’s actually looking for my subdirectory folder…which, of course, isn’t there, I assumed the htaccess code was doing a rewrite to not need the directory physically, just rewriting to use it for a database lookup.

Whoa, no kidding, the theme is global? Whoa, that may force me to rethink the whole plan and go back to using Drupal for this project…it’s amazing that limitation is in there, glad I asked, but I will play around first, see what I can do.

Idle curiousity here…if one user edits the CSS within the theme editing window, would it save the CSS for only that blog, or would it rewrite the primary theme file? I suspect only for that blog…but figured I’d ask.

Thanks for the info. So, I would have to, in theory, just enable all the plugins (not many) then disable the plugins menu item so they can’t do anything other than alter the settings for each one…is that correct?

Or, I suppose I could hack the core code (really hoping I wouldn’t have to) to remove the search and install buttons for plugins and themes…therefore only being able to install new ones by me uploading them.

Yeah, I’ll just dump the database and start over, it’s only garbage testing crap to delete, so no big whoop.

Thanks for the help.

yeah, the config changes were right where I was told to put them, in the middle and browser cache clearing did nothing.

Nope, 3.0.4, and I was doing all this over the course of a couple days, install, then do some site work, then look into multisite configuration…maybe I’ll just dump the db and reinstall.

I’m a drupal guy that has a project much better suited for WordPress this time around, and I have only had WordPress dev experience, not much administration…

Bu8t even with a fresh install it still has a blog, correct? I mean, it’s an empty one but it’s there? And yes, I did go to the network page and go thru it, then logged back in as told…
