I’d like to know about the “native support for popular themes”!!!

psst, it’s your theme, hydrogen, and I see no place on your site for support so I ask here.

Me personally, if I want managed wp hosting, I can get that with godaddy for a buck a month. I pay extra to have full control. I have a business pro plan with hostmonster and they, being the same company, did the same thing. Not feelin too Pro.

If the theme developer wants my url I will give it to him.

There are other benefits to multisite. Each wordpress install means 4000+ files and a database. One multisite with many subsites is the same 4000+ files and one database with some extra tables made for each subsite. Logging into the main site as super-admin, you have access to the backend of the main and subsites. With multisite as subdomain setup, it would be really easy to have the main site as the front/entry at example.com and then have /consumer and /client as the subdomains. With two separate installs, you would have to hand craft some sort of entry page with links to the subfolder sites.
With multisite, the main site and all subsites have different menus and settings. It would be easy to lock one down for logged in access only. They can all share plugins and themes. Users are typically not shared between sites with the exception of super-admin. In fact it requires a plugin to share users or some database and php work I thought.
That said, it is quite a bit to learn setting up and running a multisite. Not all plugins work, some like to be network activated and some like to be individually activated.

Easy for a single wp site. Not so easy for multisite. For multisite check this. https://www.wpmayor.com/migrate-wordpress-multisite/

Ok, Thanks. Not sure to what level we’ll be able to debug. It’s for a client, someone else built and is hosting the site so there’s no cpanel/server access. As of now, it’s working with cf7 protection disabled, the customer’s happy, I got paid so I’m happy but I would still like to know for sure what the issue is. I imagine it’s something to do with the hosting/server setup. With the exception of plugin conflicts, I’ve never had to deal with email issues. Probably because I usually am dealing with my own hosting.
I have seen the “message to short” error from the spamshield contact form. Would I get that error message from wp-spamshield when using cf7?

Actually I fixed it by disabling protection for cf7 on your plugin and posted on the wp-spamshield forum here but thanks for answering this one.

Removing widgets from sidebar 2 makes the content area go from 715px to 790px ish on a 1366px screen. Not much of a gain for removing a 240px sidebar considering it also shrinks sidebar 1 slightly and still leaves 260px of white space. Of course I can re-adjust all that with css.

Is there some trick I don’t know about for hiding a sidebar conditionally with css or are we talking inline css per page?

Not a big deal. This was a potential theme for a potential client as it almost matches his hand coded html site so I thought he would want to keep the look but since then I’ve found out he’s been eyeballing premium photography themes that look nothing like what he currently has.

Subdirectory is a bit easier than subdomain

subdomain.maindomain.com

maindomain.com/subdirectory

That’s the difference in how they look address-wise

I just did this yesterday morning following instructions from here.
https://www.wpmayor.com/migrate-wordpress-multisite/

domain mapping will do the url thing and there’s a couple of plugins for sharing content between two sites in a network. Network Latest Posts is the name of one.

There’s a couple of plugins. Look for “multisite search.”
You could also put google search on your site and for 100 bucks a year, ad free.

Google search is what’s used here on wp.org

Maybe so, meanwhile, have a look at this. https://www.kloosterman.be/info/how-i-made-my-tng-wp-website/
It’s what I used to use but I’m running wp as multisite now and it won’t work for me.

Good deal. I’ve actually heard people say about me, “He’s a legend in his own mind”
Curious; Did changing the post/page dates trick work?
