Doobus

Should I put this in the track? I understand what Andrea_r is saying, but this does not happen on a single WP install.

Please clarify if I’m missing something.

Thanks for all your help Ipstenu,

Looks like I’ll just have to install WordPress on seperate databases for now, I’ve wasted quite a bit of time on this already, if this was a personal project I would have spent more time trying to figure it out.

I’ve looked at other WP Multisite’s and they all have the same issue with the pages redirecting back to homepage if www is added. It’s weird no one has noticed this until now lol.

Thanks again,
Doobus

I went into super admin and changed the permalink structure to /%category%/%postname%/.

I then went into permalinks under the settings sections and click the custom radio button, however the /blog part still shows up, I save it anyways… I load the post and it works with and without the www, however the /blog part shows up in the URL and when I look back at the SuperAdmin settings again, the /blog is put back on again… This is weird.

To top it all off the about page still links back to homepage with the www.

This is really confusing, btw I’ve tried this on two different web hosts.

That’s exactly how I changed the permalink structure, normally I would have done it through the permalink under the settings tab.

I can work around the /blog part with another sub-directory name, however the issue with the pages redirecting back to homepage is an issue I can’t overlook, since I’m treating the frontpage as a CMS.

I was looking to use WordPress Multisite as a possible solution because I didn’t want to have to make multiple installations of WordPress on multiple databases, but it’s looking more and more that the Multisite feature isn’t going to be a possibility. Unless of course you know the answers to my conundrum :).

Figured out the issue, it’s because I changed the permalink structure from /blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ to /%category%/%postname%/

since i omitted the blog part it’s causing redirect issues.

Which leads me to my second question, since i wanted to treat the TLD as a CMS, and add /blog as my blog part, is there any way to do this?

Also I noticed, page permalinks is still an issue, because if I go to domain.com/about/ it works, the second I add www. to the domain it doesn’t redirect to /about/ it goes back to domain.com.

That’s what is in my .htaccess, I basically just followed the multisite instructions, regular WordPress installs don’t have have this redirect issue, and based on the .htaccess files on the regular install nothing seems different other than the few added rewrite rules. Again I’m really nub to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Never mind, I found a work around. I basically just added the code you provided to my archive template with the 18 posts and change my global posts per page to 5. Thanks.

I have two archive templates one that shows 18 post and the other 5 posts.
My site is setup with 6 parent categories and 1 parent category with 5 sub categories.

The archive template that shows 5 posts will paginate to the second page, but if i could to the third page, it sends me to my 18 post archive template blank. The sub categories however don’t even make it past the first page of pagination. Any clues?

Hope I’ve made myself clear, it’s a bit confusing to sort out.

Holding my breath for a reply, seems that I always have problems that no one else has. I’ve tried this and at first it looked to have worked, but I too am having similar issues as garethooper and asitis. Well slightly different in that I’m not getting a 404, it’s just the pagination keeps repeating the first set of posts. That and I don’t have a 404 page.

I know that the CQS plugin works, however in my case, it doesn’t work with subcategories… I have two archive templates, one that shows 18 posts, and another 5… Why isn’t this easily achievable? Or at the very least there is very limited documentation.

The only thing I think may works is example 3. However I don’t know how/where to plug the code, I keep getting parse error. Not to mention I don’t know what to put in <– put your loop here –>… I thought that was the loop.

Sorry for long post any help is appreciated.

Stoob, nice extension of the vote-it-up plugin. However I’ve been running into some issues with it. For some reason whenever I make a vote in IE, all the posts as well as any code which follow after disappear.

Basically what I’m trying to do is to provide a embed this image url link. Is there a way of accomplishing this without the use of custom fields, it would be really annoying to have to type out the image url in every post.

Found the solution, if anyone else is having issues with this, use $temp_query, found in multiple loops example 2 here.

Thanks I can’t stand to look at redundant code :P.

On second thought, I had 3 posts that had custom fields set up exactly the same since I noticed this issue. And I like to credit myself for having a keen eye, and I most definitely did not have this issue on the first 3 posts.

The only thing I can think of that I added was a test category, and some php in my single page template, but that didn’t have any correlation with my custom fields.

Sigh… At least I am not the only one experiencing this, although it’s funny, I have been developing this site for a week now and I have just only noticed this issue.
