I have just finished doing another multi site install and to save me from having to look all over for the steps that I need to follow when I do my next one I have blogged it:

Setting Up Multi Sites in WordPress – Part I – The Config File
Setting Up Multi Sites in WordPress – Part II – Wildcard Subdomains
Setting Up Multi Sites in WordPress – Part III – Network Activation

Hopefully somewhere in here you will find what you may have missed and get it to work – I messed a few things on my first couple of attempts but can get it working now – Good Luck!

You also need to Create a Network and enable wildcard dns entries – I am not too sure if you did this as you did not say, but here are a couple of links that will help you if you need to do this.

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Create_A_Network is where to create the network and https://www.wiredstudios.com/php-programming/setting-up-wildcard-dns-for-subdomains-on-cpanel.html is how to do the wildcard DNS entries that you need in order for it to work. If the entry says you need to use custom file, then create that file instead of editing the one that it tells you to.

Good luck!

Perfect andreda_r – that is exactly what I was looking for and I hope that this info will help you to mcfd90 :F

Thank you for your reply.

The page that all those threads talk about using to add in extra pages is the /wp-include/wpmu-funxctions.php file.

As I do not have that file (I have a clean install of WP3.0) I have looked in
/wp-includes/
functions.php
functions.wp-scripts.php
functions.wp-styles.php
ms-functions.php
ms-settings.php
ms-load.php
ms-default-constants.php
ms-load.php

the I looked in
/wp-admin/
admin.php
ms-admin.php
ms-options.php

/wp-admin/includes/
admin.php
ms.php
post.php

but can not find the bit of code I need. Could someone kindly let me know which file I should look in?

Thank you for your time ??

I had marked it as Resolved when I last posted – There is not a solved for me to mark it as?

Also, Originally there was no robots.txt so I created a blank one – but I have removed it so hopefully it will now work ?? Another thing to look into ??

Found a solution – https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/xml-sitemap-feed/ works well and great support if there are problems.

I have done as you asked and tested the $maxURLS to -1 and that worked – no problems. I am also not using a cache plugin.

I then changed it back to 10000 and then using the Ctrl+F5 the sitemap page loaded fine so I have left it at $maxURLS 10000 seeing as it seems to be working ok ??

If you need me to test anything else, please let me know – I am more than happy to help ??

@ mucky

I also have installed RC3 with multisite and subdomains

I did not have to use the control panel of the server as it will create them automatically – although to work it out took a while and great help from the forums ??

Did you create the wildcard alias? Also wondering about the ServerAlias in the http.conf file. I just ask as that is not in your list of things that you did.

https://mu.www.ads-software.com/forums/topic/18258?replies=11 is where I got it to work – and also I put links there that may help others having the same problems. Good Luck!

thank you dsader – that code works beautifully.

I also appreciate the link and can see why it may call problems… will have to think more about implementing this ??

Once again, thank you for your help

Ipstenu – thank you – 100% positive ??

thank you MichaelH for that ??

If I change the wp-config.php file will those changes be lost when there is an upgrade or does that file never get upgraded?

Thank you for your time ??

Thank you RavanH for all of your input – looking at the other post and options and your suggestions, I decided to first change the $maxURLS to a low enough number – starting at 1000 and it worked! so I started to up in in 1000 increments and it still worked – although I only have 1001 posts at the mo ?? I will let you know if it starts spitting the dummy when the post count gets higher.

Also, I had inactivated it as I was trying to get another plugin to work and needed to find the plugin culprit that it did not like – but happy to say it is not yours that my other plugin has issues with and is re-activated now.

Once again thank you RavanH for all of your time and help – it is appreciated ??

thank you both

@ Ipstenu – New Blog Defaults at least I now know I can do this

@ andrea_r – Thank you for that link – it also helps with a few other things I was wondering about ??

Hi again,

Firstly thank you for answering so promptly ??

I have installed the new version and still get the same thing – but a different error message now:

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: https://inthenewsheadlines.com/sitemap.xml
Line Number 5935, Column 1:
^

And a view source will show will show all of the xml there but the last line in the view source says:

<b>Fatal error</b>: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 88 bytes) in <b>/home/inthenew/public_html/wp-includes/load.php</b> on line <b>552</b>

which could be the reason for the first error?

Is there a limit for how many links there can be?

It works fine on https://naturaldisasters.inthenewsheadlines.com/sitemap.xml

The one where it is not working has heaps of posts and the subdomain at the moment only has one post

Thank you for your time ??

WordPress Multisite feature will work – I have just got mine to work *LOL*
