sounds great thanks…

looks like im having a similar problem i hope its not the theme

here the link

basically it worked when i first installed it then it went to try it again
and it says sorry no time available today

but there are no appts set for that day

i plan on having a video on top giving a basic description of what to do and what to expect
https://www.fromrentertohomeowner.com/calendar/
my theme is salespress pro

Disregard that last email i was “smart” enough to check a section called installations hahahahaha found the shortcode works fine…

thanks again

geoff

thanks frank…did in explorer and worked fine…

im a complete newby when it comes to this stuff…

and i know this, from your perspective, sounds completely ridiculous but how do i get the calendar published on one of my pages

my limited knowledge is its either done by shortcode or automatically done in the plugin

but again i when i did paste shortcode it was only one line of code and on the edit page of your plug in i dont see that

again im sorry to bother you with it, but if its easy for you explain and respond i’d greatly appreciate it

geoff

yeah i have officially thrown in the towel…i just loaded another wordpress to my other domain…not what i wanted but it just got to the point where it didnt make sense spending anymore time on it….

Hi Mika

first i appreciate all your help, i know you dont have to take time out of your life and help people like me…and just want to let you know its greatly apprecited

but you must have me confused, i have not even tried screwing around with the mapping…since i took your first advice

“Turn off the domain mapping plugin for now. You’re not there yet”

w/respect to referencing this domain and getting the 500 error code https://www.fromrentertohomeowner.njvideohousetours.com/wp-admin/

this was just my way of testing to see if the adjustments i have been making in the wildcard was working or not…unless thats not the way to do it…

i now, know, exactly that the problem has been isolated to the wildcard, the dns or .htacess

the problem is that i have done exactly those instructions to the tee, then spoke to at least dozen bluehost tech peeps and they cant figure it out…

but to be honest, i dont know squat…and i seem to know more than them…

so just one last time if you dont mind taking a look at the wildcard i set up and let me know what you think

my question last time about the wildcard was how important is it to have the main domain in html root? bc i tried it both ways with and without

*.njvideohousetours.com /public_html

*.njvideohousetours.com /public_html/njvideohousetours.com

DOES THIS MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
bluehost didnt know so i tried it both ways and still got the error code and still got the bluehost webpage

heres the subdomain
fromrentertohomeowner.njvideohousetours.com/public_html/njvideohousetours.com

so unless theres something else im missing, looks like i may have exhausted my subdomain resources

so i may have to capitulate to the wordpress multisite gods and call it day…

unless i try doing it as a subfolder…which i dont mind doing…i know i’ll have to change the setting to subdomain false just dont know what the other steps would be…if you could provide a link i’ll do that…

again just want to put it out there that this guy appreciates your help
(y)

well i never used wordpress up until recently…someone recomended it to me…im coming from using a basic web builder wyswig…

so i just assumed worpress worked the same that having multiple domains would be this much of a nightmare…

so i initially installed wordpress under one domain in this case njvideohousetours.com then bought the theme

from there i then transferred my other domain to my host (bluehost) which i inevitably found out i needed to upgrade to multi site…

so wordpress is in my main domain root all i did was adjust wpconfig and htaccess as per instructed for multi site

then put my wildcard domain as instructed …but nothing seems to work i get the dreaded 500 error code as you can see at this site https://www.fromrentertohomeowner.njvideohousetours.com/wp-admin/

also tried it the as the main domain seperate meaning changing the site name inside of wordpress just to test out what would happen
https://www.fromrentertohomeowner.com/wp-admin/
same error code

i know this is the most friggin frustrating thing ever…

it sucks bc i purchased a really expensive theme and it allows only one install…

im about ready to throw in the towel and just load a seperate wordpress under the subdomain its just not worth the massive amount of time and energy…

and just make due with some of the free themes…

the problem really isnt the domain mapping inside wordpress multi site its all the hosting and the settings with respect to wildcard,dns or the actual code inside one of the wp files

its so frustrating knowing its most likely one small stupid thing..

@mika

i dont know if your interested, but i would gladly pay you for your time
to come on remotly to my computer to see if at least everything is set up correctly so i can know for sure its a bluehost issue and not mine

that would leave me at least knowing i did everything i can b4 i call it quits..i just hate quiting on something w/o knowing for sure where the problem is…

@kamikaze7 yup i have subdomain code inside .htaccess provided via copy and paste

which url is a mismatch?

what host are you using if you dont mind me asking?

current subdomain htacess code:

BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

# END WordPress

hi mika,

you posted a few months back to this post
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/new-multisite-subdomains-admin-goes-404

i pretty much am in the identical place she was and did those very exact things but its still not working…

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo….

called bluehost and there no help…they pretty much did the same thing they did for her and replace the .dtaceess with _old that just gave me the 404 like she had…

heres my subdomain and wildcard set up
https://screencast.com/t/wAXaksQUUX

i also for lack of nothing else, i could think of, removed the document root of my main domain, in the wildcard, because i noticed in the other forum you commented on it… said just remove the word wildcard and not replace with main html root, like i originally had it…
that didnt work either…

would creating a wildcard for the subdomain, actual domain, inside the dns zone editor do anything? …or am i just reaching for straws at this point…hahahaha

think im bout ready to call it quits i have been at this going on 2 weeks…

i dont know i followed directions to the tee…its probably the most stupid thing…what about the apache code change…sorta my last hope at this point…

one last thing at one point i was screwing around with ANAME & CNAME and dont remember what i put in or delted

below is my dns record for my main site njvideohousetours.com

https://screencast.com/t/DHiggy4k7RX

i noticed a bunch of records in there for my otehr site fromrentertohomeowner along with the wildcard

do all those need to be in there or just one if so which one to accomplish
my goal to get fromrentertohomeowner.njvideohousetours.com to work in multisite

Hi Mika

thanks so much for your help i have been going nuts over here trying to figure it all out…

just want to make sure were on the same page im using following plugin on multi site
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/

however its not in plug in list so i can deactivate so i think my best alternative is remove my ip and uncheck all the option like below

https://screencast.com/t/TrnVYcrO

ok so i did everything that was on that link removed all my previous wildcard attempts

also removed the other subdomain i created …theres a big depate on these forums about add on or parked because of the root…and i have no clue…so i used the park option

i then created a subdomain so lets say md.com is my main domain and od.com is the other domain

i was informed to create subdomain: od.md.com
document root public_html/md.com

in multisite i set the 2nd site as od.md.com
see below screen shot of actual below:
https://screencast.com/t/t2ISfhohtOz

but again i removed it from cpael and followed the rest of those instructions and just added the *.md.com
document root public_html/md.com
as seen actual below:
https://screencast.com/t/D7BEBrq5Z

should i now go back in and create that subdomain or is that not necessary

once again i really appreciate it thank you…

geoff
