This is fanaticjim,

I got my Theme from the www.ads-software.com themes.

Jim

I see this topic was started 9 months ago. I’m having the same problem everyone else is having. I hope someone has a solution by now. I’ve uploaded the zip file to a shared hosting server (Hostgator). The zip file is in my wp-content/themes folder and I unzipped it. When I went to my Administration Panel the theme was not among the themes available to be selected.

I’m working with a multi-site installation.

Thanks for any help you can provide,
Jim

Hi, sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. First, I’d don’t want to do domain mapping. Second I know the girlsfootballshirts.com is a full domain. I didn’t type that correctly as the subdomain looks like this, girlsfootballshirts.pigskinfanaticblog.com, in my file. Just needed to clear that up.

Moving on, are you telling me I don’t need to have both the *.pigskinfanaticblog.com and the subdomain girlsfootballshirts.pigskinfanaticblog.com? I can eliminate the girlsfootballshirts.pigskinfanaticblog.com and just use the wildcard *.pigskinfanaticblog.com.

Thanks for your help. I’m just sorry I’m not getting this faster :o(

I think thats a wrap.
Thanks

Well actually, I’ve been trying to do it using the subdomain setup like it teaches in the All-In-One book for Dummies. I don’t even know what Domain Mapping is.

I’m getting more mixed up by the day. Not sure which way to turn. I thought I was really close when Ipstenu said I just needed to get my subdomain girlsfootballshirts.com pointed toward my WP installation which is installed on my pigskinfanaticblog.com site. Should I go back to the Hostgator support and tell them to reverse the work the other guy did?

Thanks from me.

Hello again. I think the HostGator support person might have just messed up my WP installation more than it was. Can you take a look at this conversation and let me know. I’m particularly worried about where Jonathan says “It should now be working through a proxy : https://pagewash.com” the primary domain is pigskinfanaticblog.com.

CONVERSATION:
I just received info from a WP Support person and he said my problem is, I don’t have my subdomain pointed to wherever WP is installed. How do I point my girlsfootballshirts.com subdomain to where my WordPress installation is? WP Support said I have my subdomain pointed at it’s own folder.

(03:42:37 PM) Jonathan Hi: What folder is the WordPress in?
(03:42:50 PM) jim: pigskinfanaticblog.com
(03:43:08 PM) jim: it’s installed on my pigskinfanaticblog.com
(03:43:12 PM) Jonathan Hi: You want that WordPress to load on girlsfootballshirts.com
(03:43:22 PM) jim: yes
(03:43:48 PM) Jonathan Hi: No problem.
(03:46:02 PM) Jonathan Hi: I will update you momentarily.
(03:46:08 PM) jim: okay
(03:46:35 PM) jim: in the future, can i use the redirect feature to do something like you’re doing?
(03:47:06 PM) Jonathan Hi: Well there were a few issues.
(03:47:13 PM) Jonathan Hi: First, this addon domain was not added on.
(03:47:24 PM) Jonathan Hi: Additional domains need to be added in cPanel > Addon Domains
(03:47:29 PM) jim: oh okay, i thought it was
(03:48:49 PM) jim: i did that earlier using the Subdomains and that subdomain shows in my subdomain list
(03:49:00 PM) Jonathan Hi: A subdomain means example.primary.com
(03:49:06 PM) Jonathan Hi: An addon domain means newdomain.com
(03:49:29 PM) jim: right thats what i have in my subdomain list
(03:49:57 PM) Jonathan Hi: Yeah that means you just made “girlsfootballshirts.pigskinfanaticblog.com”
(03:50:04 PM) jim: oh okay thats where i got off track, i didn’t use addon domain
(03:50:10 PM) Jonathan Hi: Instead of : “girlsfootballshirt.com”
(03:50:42 PM) jim: i see under the subdomains control panel it says NOT REDIRECTED
(03:51:17 PM) jim: am i all messed up?
(03:51:58 PM) Jonathan Hi: You don’t want to be in the subdomains section.
(03:52:00 PM) Jonathan Hi: This is not a subdomain.
(03:52:03 PM) Jonathan Hi: This is an addon domain.
(03:52:06 PM) jim: okay
(03:52:45 PM) jim: should i remove the girlsfootballshirts.pigskinfanaticblog.com ?
(03:52:51 PM) Jonathan Hi: Yes that is fine.
(03:56:33 PM) jim: i do see the domain in the addon domain now
(03:56:56 PM) Jonathan Hi: Yes I added that. : )
(03:57:05 PM) jim: okay
(03:57:14 PM) Jonathan Hi: Okay the WordPress is now moved and the database has been updated for the new URL : girlsfootballshirts.com
(03:57:27 PM) Jonathan Hi: It should now be working through a proxy : https://pagewash.com
(03:57:31 PM) Jonathan Hi: https://girlsfootballshirts.com
(03:58:08 PM) jim: it shows on the addon domain page that it’s not redirected. Is that okay?
(03:58:39 PM) Jonathan Hi: It should not be redirected.
(03:59:02 PM) jim: will this allow both pigskinfanaticblog.com and girlsfootballshirts.com to work on wordpress?
(03:59:10 PM) Jonathan Hi: Yes indeed.
(03:59:25 PM) jim: okay, I thank you very much Jonathan
(03:59:42 PM) Jonathan Hi: No problem. Is there anything else I can assist with?
(03:59:43 PM) jim: i guess we’re all done

I have a feeling Jonathan just sent me to left field. When I type in either of my domains pigskinfanaticblog.com or girlsfootballshirts.com , it takes me to my PigskinFanatic Blog site. I also don’t have a Network Admin on my dashboard either. I do have another Network Setup link but when I selected it it said there is already a network setup and running.

Jim

Now I have to go buy a new book.

Thanks
Jim :o)

Wow, what a fast answer. Thanks, I’ll go see if I can get that straight.

I assume you had WP2.7 installed before you installed WP v3.2.1. I’m having the same problem. My first install was 3.0 and I upgraded until I’m now using 3.2.1. Is it possible for me to install WP2.7 since I started with the newer version first? Would I lose all of my post and pages, if I try the same thing?

Thanks,
Jim

Thanks, thats where it was.

Thanks much,
Jim

Thank you very much. It must be nice to know as much about this stuff as you both know.

Jim

I’m going to go ahead and mark this as resolved. I’m doing some work on my server, subdomains, and MYSql DBs. Going to try again from the beginning.

I’m pretty sure I used the one-click install.

By golly, that is your name on the front of the WordPress All-In-One for Dummies book. I’ll say this, I really like the book. It has a whole lot of helpful information in it. I just need to get my mind wrapped around this multisite stuff.

So, is getting ALL privileges for my db something I need to take up with my server provider or do I need to look for something in the book that will help?

Thanks
Jim
