Thanks @andrea_r there is really a wealth of information in there. Boone is quite impressive and I know that Brad has worked with him before.

We are brain storming some solutions, Ill be sure to post back here once we come up with something that works for us.

Thanks!

How would you have wp configured if not with a wp-config file? I mean, I make it common habit to rename my wp-config and move it out of the webroot, but that is still not OS specific, its wp specific.

Here are some mysql commands to run

//replace user with username to see what grants you have
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'user'@'localhost';

//Grant all privs to user (replace user with username) on all tables
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'@'localhost';

//Dont forget to flush after granting
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Thanks for the help!

I have been researching a ton of plugins… do you guys know off the top of you haed, whether modification of a plugin is ok via the GPL as long as I give credit for the origin?

Thanks again, great advice!

Firstly, thank you both for the responses. I see you both commenting all over this forum, so I am glad that I have the top minds here.

So 2 questions with your answers:

@ipstenu for #2 do you think that 2000+ lines in the .htaccess will be an issue? I know in the past we have had trouble with redirects that got around the 500 line ear mark…

@andrea_r for #3, since our install is static, meaning our core tables won’t change and there’s no chance of the network structure changing, could plugins be written that are network activated and read their settings from the core tables? To me it seems plausible, but I’m not sure if there is some trickery in WP that wont allow me to activate a plugin that doesn’t read that sites tables.

Thanks again to you both… I will probably be a WP expert once I am done figuring out this install and writing about a dozen custom plugins… lol
