I’m having this same problem with only one of my sites. The menu to change the user role (in both sites/[subsite]/edit AND sites/users) does not have anything in the dropdown menu for roles. I tried disabling my plugins but that didn’t solve the problem. I thought I may have had user registration closed but I do not.

So, basically, I cannot get any new user to access the backend of this one subsite unless they are promoted to super admin.

Many thanks for any help you can give.

Do you have any idea if you’ll have multisite support? I’m trying to get this working—although network activation doesn’t appear to break anything, the fact that no users are actually added when users are given access to multiple sites, they don’t appear in the “users” section. So co-authors doesn’t appear to see any users aside from admin.

Thanks and glad to hear about the update!

Can you explain, then, why .php redirections work fine in non-wordpress directories? In other words, I’m making 301 redirects using .htacces in another directory (and they are specific redirections, not rules). There are no rewrite rules for PHP files, only 301 redirects, mostly from .htm to .php but some .php to .htm.

Here are some examples (keep in mind, this is in my root directory, not the _beta01 directory I’m using for building the new site):

Redirect 301 /598einst.php https://www.monthlyreview.org/598einstein.php
Redirect 301 /0902achcar.htm https://www.monthlyreview.org/
Redirect 301 /0506tiger.htm https://www.monthlyreview.org/0506tigar.htm

Aside from some rewrite rules dealing with a specific subdirectory, this is all that exists in .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
#Options All -Indexes

#IndexIgnore .htaccess 

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>

Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks

In the wordpress (i.e. ‘_beta01’) directory, this is all that is in .htaccess (that is relevant):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /_beta01/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

If the above isn’t relevant and basic server configurations conflict with Redirection, there should be some documentation on the issue. I don’t have my server set up in any special way—the site is hosted by a large company, with the ubiquitous Cpanel backend.

@john: that’s a vague reply—can you clarify?

I’m still not sure what the problem is but I think it something to do with the fact that my site is password protected at the moment because it is in beta.

If it does have something to do with the server configuration then what should be changed? Obviously the site is handling the PHP files for WordPress just fine: what makes this different?

Yes, I already have my own custom template and after the “else” statement there is indeed nothing. But the widget itself—i.e. the space it takes up and the styling that is applied—is still there.

I noticed that in the default tag and category widgets have a ‘hide_empty’ option. I was hoping that widget logic would allow me to use it but I haven’t found out how.

Thanks anyway.

Unfortunately I’m not equipped to write such a function. But you’d think this would be a useful feature of widget logic. Do you happen to know if anyone has attempted it? Or could you suggest where I might start? I’ve created filters before but very basic ones. I don’t know how to test for HTML content or how to say “don’t show the widget”.

Thanks.

thanks, the new version works again. there are still a whole bunch of 401 OK messages but the URLs are at least correct.

https://monthlyreview.org/_beta01/blog/magazine/2010/07/01/latin-america-twenty-first-century-socialism-inventing-to-avoid-mistakes-2#en209
401 OK
Latin America

etc.

I guess it really doesn’t cause any problems. It is just annoying.

Oh, and I tried eliminated everything from the .htaccess file already, thinking it had something to do with my network installation. But that didn’t help.

Again, whenever I try and redirect a URL with a .php extension, it simply doesn’t work. URLs with .htm or .html extensions work fine but .php redirects simply break. Do I have to use RegEx to redirect these URLs?

redirect source: /_beta01/598einst.php (if .php is changed to .htm it works fine)
redirect: /_beta01/blog/magazine/1998/05/01/why-socialism-2

Wonderful, when you have the new version ready, I’d be happy to test.

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with your plugin but I’m also using Redirection with my site and something is happening that is most likely easy to fix. Whenever I try and redirect a URL with a .php extension, it simply doesn’t work. URLs with .htm or .html extensions work fine but .php redirects simply break. Do you happen to know if have to use RegEx to redirect these files?

redirect source: /_beta01/598einst.php
redirect: /_beta01/blog/magazine/1998/05/01/why-socialism-2

Unfortunately the beta version breaks my site. I’ll see if I can get a console message…Nope, sorry. I couldn’t find any messages just yet. Please let me know if you come up with another release.

I don’t have a way of letting the plugin ‘through’ that I know of. As can be seen, this is a beta version. I could remove the protection and see what happens so I have an idea when the site goes live. Also, I’ll install the dev version and get back to you as soon as I can.

Also, I was just wondering. If I get the pro version, can it also make plain text links active as well? I know that I can check them, but it would be useful to make them active also.

I just realized that the form of the notes is slightly different than above, if that makes any difference…
<a id="fn5" href="#en5">5</a> corresponding to <a id="en5" href="#fn5">5</a>

I figured this out by using a different—and awesome—plugin: Query Posts. This is definitely the best of its kind. Simply insert the shortcode (as above) into the widget.

solved this on my own. plugin works fine. let me know if you have this problem.

I found “template-tags.php” but I’m still unclear on where it is supposed to go.

I should mention that I’m using the hybrid theme framework, which offers “hooks” (i.e. the insertion of code into child theme pages). It works quite well but I can’t get co-authors to show up at all. I’m very willing to donate if I can get this to work because it seems to be the best plugin of its kind out there.

Excuse me, but can you say clearly *where* you add the template tags? I’m sorry if I’m missing it but at one and the same time this seems to be crucially important and missing.

Thanks
