Hey! I’m back ?? I updated to WordPress 3.5.1 today and all the stuff I talked about in the original post happened again. HOWEVER, I put in the plugin you referenced at github and everything works great. Thanks so much!

Thanks Ross, unfortunately this site is internal. But I did do a console view from inspect element and it was showing that the pages were trying to load http files instead of https. I went to the theme and found it was loading the location thus:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/css/effects.css" />

Our IT department did a roll back so we are back to 3.4.2 and everything is working again. The theme has always been loading the files this way so I’m not sure why going to 3.5 changed anything. I unfortunately don’t have access to the db so I can’t look to see where all the stored http values are, which is why I’ve been using this plugin ??

I’ve checked all sorts of settings like making sure home and site url specify the https but it wouldn’t take and I ended up in a loop when I tried to force admin ssl through the wp-config.php file.

Since we are back to the old version I can’t really look into this more. But thanks for your speedy reply!

Well, I actually got this working by adding: $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]=’on’; to my wp-config.php file.

I get the same issue too. All the event details page does is show the title. The actual page is smaller in width than normal pages and the footer is also messed up and the same smaller width. Seems like the PHP code somewhere doesn’t finish writing out a statement. Wish I knew more to track down specifically where it is. Thinking about trying out 1.8 beta RC2…

I did a little bit more testing today. The things I’ve noticed is the VPS environments that our IT set all have the slowness, but the environment I have out on hostmonster (multisite) is all snappy. I’ve also tried deactiving all plugins and still no go. I’m guessing this is ultimately an issue with the default settings on a Virtuosso VPS. I’ll do some more research and post my findings. Still haven’t been able to confirm if this is a multisite only issue with VPS’ but I’ll check it out on a single install on a VPS.

Also to note, clicking the Update Network on all my slow VPS’ give this error:
Warning! Problem updating https://domain.com/site1. Your server may not be able to connect to sites running on it. Error message: couldn’t connect to host

Same issue here (wp-admin crazy slow after upgrade). Weird thing is the front-end is just as fast as it always has been. Backend is crazy, painfully slow. I’m going to be testing out several things and I’ll post any findings I come across.

Alright, finally figured this out! What I did is completely revert to the original code by redownloading the plugin. Next you:

1. Hop in to the Network Admin area and network activate the plugin
2. Now go to Settings >> Avatars
3. Look for User Uploads and check the box*
4. I then had to check the sub-box “use legacy method”
5. Done! Works!

Hope that helps anyone else.

*Note just using it straight up gave issues, hence using the legacy method.

I’m getting the same issue as ciarlystreet when pasting in the fix 3 posts up (double-checked for a space between $ and move_w_check). I’m using version 10.4 so the code line is actually later than 839 when I’m pasting in. Not sure how to fix this…

Apparently version 9.2 addressed: “Fix for local avatar upload to cope with the ever changing WP!” but nothing’s working for me.

Having the same issue! “Avatars” only shows up under Settings when switched over to Network Admin (and only the admin shows up). Don’t show up as a Site Admin for any of the sites.

WP 3.2.1 (Multisite using sub-directories)
Add Local Avatar 10.3

Thanks! “AllowOverride All” for .htaccess fixed my issue!

Alright, after talking this through with someone else, this actually works fine as is! Here’s how to do it:

1. I simplified the code without the blog id and switching. Here’s what it looks like:

<?php

// Need to be in WP's Loop but without theme
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('wp-blog-header.php');

$postid = $_GET['p'];

// Check to see if the post exists
if ( is_single( $postid )) {
	echo get_the_title($postid); // Title of the post we are commenting on
	comment_form( $arg , $postid );
}
else
	echo "Post doesn't exist!";

?>

2. I then access the file using the URL separation (sub-domain or sub-directory) instead of the base location. So for me it’s by sub-directory and looks like this: https://mydomain.com/us/wp-get-comment-form.php?p=34 Before I was trying to access it by https://mydomain.com/wp-get-comment-form.php?p=34&b=9 – I forgot that the logical separations still treats what’s physical files are at the base location as if it’s in sub-directory or sub-domain location!

Hi Ipstenu! So we meet again ?? I can’t call the comment form from the page like normal because I have a mobile application that reads in a RSS feed. I want the users to be able to comment if they’d like to so I would need to load just the comment form when they want it. Since I’m not actually at the page with the information, I need to send a request to get that information. I figured the easiest way would be to do it this way and I have gotten it to work great in a single installation environment.

The switch_to_blog() function seems to be working because when I add these lines after the call I get the correct blog name:

$current_blog_details = get_blog_details( array( 'blog_id' => $blog_id ) );
echo $current_blog_details->blogname;

However, once I try to do:

echo get_the_title($postid); // Title of the post we are commenting on
comment_form( $arg , $postid );

I get the default blog, instead of the switched to blog.

I’ve read that requiring wp-blog-header.php will put you inside WP so this would explain why switch_to_blog is workin as far as doing array calls. (FYI, I defined wp_use_themes as false because then I have just a straight up plain page with no styling)

I hope this information helps.

Just realized I’m in the main Multisite support forum with the tag WordPress MU Domain Mapping. So that’s actually the plugin I’m referring to.

As far as a Multi Network plugin, I don’t see how that could possibly solve my problem. What I’m looking to do is mask the URL (basically) to make it look like all the content is on the same domain. Like nike.com that has their different mini-sites as sub directories of their main domain (whether they have them on separate servers or not). I am separating the servers though, and would still like my “Old Domain” to be the main domain. But would like mysite.com/blog to go to other.server.com/wp1 but look like mysite.com/blog. This other.server.com would be a multisite install and would have others. So mysite.com/store could go to other.server.com/wp2 or sommething like that.

I was hoping I could maybe make a .htaccess change or something to this MU Domain Mapping plugin since it already works beautifully sending myothersite.com to other.server.com/wp3 and keep it looking like it’s still myothersite.com but maybe this is just a pipe dream or some custom php programming….

Oh wow, I finally figured it out! All the information appears to be what you used when you installed XAMPP to your Applications folder.

So Hostname is: your computer’s name (you can find this in Sharing in System Preferences)
Username: the short name you installed xampp with
Password: the password you used to install xampp to the application’s folder

When I do this, though I get: “Unable to locate WordPress Root directory. Installation Failed” when I try to do automatic updating of WordPress 3.0 Beta 2.

Hope this helps.

I don’t know what vtxyzzy is talking about. He/She must not be using a Mac. I too am running into this problem as well. The username should be: nobody and the password: xampp. Th Hostname should be: localhost. However, when I go into the Security section XAMPP says that “The FTP password for user nobody is no langer ‘xampp'” However, I have never changed this password and I can’t log in as well… Still looking for an answer, if I find it I’ll post back here.
