In reply to: [Mammoth .docx converter] Doesn't work well for me, why?Thanks for all the insight and suggestions Michael. I will take another look at Mammoth.
Yes, being included is more important than being in the right spot. A casual proofreader would never pick up on a missed paragraph, but bad formatting would be easy to spot.

In reply to: [WP Multi Network] Need very basic HELP!Hi Ajaygupta2312,
My Apache config entry is below. DocRoot points to the same location as the main blog. ‘cph_stage.sas.com’ was the name of this alternate site.
<VirtualHost cph_stage.sas.com>
DocumentRoot “${US_ROOTF}/www”
ServerName cph_stage
<Directory “${US_ROOTF}/www”>
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
AllowOverride Options All
Order deny,allow
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Deny from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</virtualhost>I didn’t use DNS for testing, just added this entry to my PC’s hosts file. The Apache server and I are all on this same machine.
127.0.0.1 localhost d78966.na.sas.com cph_stage.sas.com

In reply to: [Weekly Archive Widget] Abbreviated month names?Whoa! I can do this myself. The widget uses whatever date format you have set in your WP settings. If I select a custom format of “M j, Y” I get just what I want.
Very cool.

In reply to: [WP Multi Network] Need very basic HELP!So I finally figured out the answer to this. The answer, as far as your local disc files are concerned is… NOTHING. Just install the plugin.
But there is work to be done, it just happens at the server. In the configuration of the Apache server a VirtualHost must be created and it must point to your existing WP installation. Then, of course, a DNS change must be made to match the VirtualHost definition.
You can play with all this on your desktop PC if you wish. Just load up something like EasyPHP which installs Apache/PHP/Mysql all at once, then install WordPress and the plugin. You can edit your own Apache configuration to add the Virtual host and edit this file in Windows to simulate a DNS entry: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host
Then you can test to your heart’s content on your own PC. Of course, you can’t get to that new domain name from outside your PC (with it’s hosts file entry for it), but otherwise it’s fully functional.

In reply to: [Media File Manager Advanced] Thumbnails don't showMine is a multi-site install. I wonder if this thing is not multisite compatible?
Deborah is yours a multi-site (“network”) install as well?

In reply to: [Media File Manager Advanced] Thumbnails don't showI have the same problem. Is this plugin supported at all?

OK, I found the settings! In a network install the options only show up in the individual blog admin screens, not the network screen.
But it looks like we will have to set the logout URI to %site% by hand each time we install a new blog.
Is there a better way?
Thanks!
But where would I set this “logout URL”? Do I have to edit core WP files or the plugin itself?
