Hi Eric,

I haven’t done it yet. But as stated, in my previous installation. I did install WordPress via Godaddy, and manually setup MU,and had no issues. So I suspect you should be fine.

Ken

GoDaddy? You are now the SECOND person who has had this problem with GoDaddy. Did you happen to use their one-click magic installer?

Yes I did. And now that I think about it. When I did my install on the other server, I setup Multisite manually. Godaddy has an option to auto-setup MU for you, which I used. So maybe something happened there.

If there’s nothing to lose, I would start over and MANUALLY install WordPress.

Thanks for trying.

Ken

So to explain some history for you, if your multisite was activated on 3.0 through 3.4, the URLs for subsites would be wp-content/blogs.dir/#/files and the settings would reflect that exactly.

If your multisite was activated AFTER (so 3.5 and up), you get /public_html/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/ but the settings say /public_html/wp-content/uploads/

If you upgraded a multisite from 3.4 to 3.5, however, your urls were not magically changed.

Both installs were fresh. One from 3.7 one from 3.8. No upgrading done. ??

You need to check the httpd.conf file and make sure that “AllowOverride” is set to “All” or “Options All”

Cool, where do I find this file though?

From the godaddy forums:

You cannot edit the httpd.conf file on our web hosting plans. However, most changes can be done using a .htaccess file in the directory you want to the changes to take effect in.

Thanks So Much,
Ken

Is this site the ONLY subsite? I’m asking for a reason ?? This will help me understand where the thing broke!

Yes, I didn’t want to add any more subsites until I had this figured out.

I betcha not. I bet that your subsites are ACTUALLY putting files in /public_html/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/

You may be correct, I’m just telling you what is showed when viewing the settings for the pages though ??

Hi Mika,

I just tried changing site 4 to the twenty fourteen theme (From Vantage), it had no effect. Images still do not display properly, upload path stayed the same.

As stated, My main site (WP 3.8) where Multisite is installed has a upload path of ‘/public_html/wp-content/uploads’

The sub site has one of ‘wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files’

My other Multisite installation which is being ran on a different server is being run on WP 3.7 also using the Vantage theme, and has upload paths of ‘/public_html/wp-content/uploads’ for both main and subsites (and works fine).

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Mika,

I changed .htaccess to what you posted above. Still no change. And Upload path remained the same for the subsite. wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files

Thanks,
Ken

I have checked my other multisite install’s upload path which is hosted on a different server.

The main and subsites both have the same upload path, which is the same as my main site in question above. /home/xxxxx/public_html/wp-content/uploads

I changed the subsited upload path above to be the same as the main, but am still having the same issue ??

Ken

Upload path for main site: /home/xxxxx/public_html/wp-content/uploads
Upload Path for sub-site: wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files

Thanks Mika,

Could you just point me in the direction of which file to add the 1st piece of code there to?

Also, I will still be able to turn that off thru dashboard when I am ready for the site to be indexed, correct?

I have no Idea on how to create plugins, so I think I better leave that 2nd part alone.

Thanks so much,
Ken

Cool Plugin, Thanks.

But I do not see any option in there for what I am trying to do.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

It wasn’t showing because I was trying to add the sites in thru the network admin dashboard, by adding site id etc. Everythin is fine now.

Thanks

Thank you ??

Everything I am reading is telling me to go to subsite>dashboard>tools>domain mapping..

The mapping isnt showing up when I go to https://handheldtesting.com/lancabletester/wp-admin :/

Anyone with any ideas?

Thanks,
Ken

Ok, something has happened.

lancabletester.net is now redirecting to handheldtesting.com

So… some progress has been made, but something is still a bit off ??

Ken

Ok I have now removed the addon domain, and created a parked domain with https://lancabletester.net/

Not sure where to go from here.

Thanks,
Ken
