Right now, and for a couple of hours, i’m gonna have the sites online.

They’re
belgranostudio.com
and
online.belgranostudio.com
But I’ve got them behind a ‘comming soon’ plugin, until they’re ready.
Whenever you tell me I can disable the plugin to let you do the tests.

And yet it marks in the subdomain some issues that it doesn’t on the main site…

YSlow gives me very different metrics, between the main site and the subdomain…
thanks !

Finally I did the replacement in the wp_x_posts tables,
with this plugin:
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/
You have to do it from the dashboard of each subsite > tools > search and replace.

Everything seems to be working.

Solved.
So this is what happened,
when I set the subdomain wildcards, the justhost cpanel (by itself) placed the term ‘wildcard’ in Document root: /public_html/wildcard
So, I found a folder called ‘wildcard’ in my root.
I deleted that setting and made a new one, erasing this word ‘wildcard’.

Everything is up and running.
All the sites and dashboards are just fine.

For everyone else trying to do this, I recommend following this instructions: https://halfelf.org/2012/moving-wordpress-multisite/,
written by Mika. (I skipped the step where she says: “edit all wp_posts (and wp_x_posts) tables with a search/replace of your domain name”, but perhaps I’ll have to do it in the future).

Mika, THANKS!.

Perhaps it’s useful to say that I’ve been using the site you sent me:
https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/
and no matter wich subdomain I try (even non existing subdomains, like aaa.belgranostudio.com), they all seem to be pointing to justhost (all green lights mostly).
I’ve tried to make a new subsite, and I’m getting the same errors as the others already existant.

Hi, Mika,
thanks again.
I believe I did set the wildcards, using this instructions from the Help section:
To create them follow these steps:
Login to your Just Host Control Panel
Click the Subdomains icon, located in the Domains section.
In the “Subdomain” name field, enter the “*” character. (Shift + 8)
Leave the “Document Root” set to default.
Select “Create”.

And in the cpanel subdomain section I got:
Subdomains: *
Root Domain: .belgranostudio.com
Document root: /public_html/wildcard
Redirection: not redirected

I’ll ask Justhost what you said anyway.
Thanks !.

I’ve consulted Justhost, and they’ve found nothing strange on their side.

I tried disabling all the plugins, but it didn’t work.

OK. So I’ve set up the wildcard with no problems.
It has improved a bit the situation, but I’m still having trouble accesing the dashboards of the subsites, and the subsites themselves. BUT, if I place the ‘www.’ in the URL, I get a default Justhost blank screen. If I don’t, I get the ‘Server not found’ error.
I suppose this has nothing to do with the DNS.

I’ve been reading that this may be an htaccess issue, so I place it here; hope it helps:

# BEGIN s2Member GZIP exclusions
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteBase /
	RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|\?|&)s2member_file_download\=.+
	RewriteRule .* - [E=no-gzip:1]
</IfModule>
# END s2Member GZIP exclusions

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Thanks you all.

Mika, thanks a lot.
I’ll try it and let you now.
l.

Still having problems.
Can’t access the newtwork sites,
for ex. https://online.belgranostudio.com/

And finally, changed:
wp_config
wp_site
wp_blogs

Following this instructions:
https://halfelf.org/2012/moving-wordpress-multisite/

It’s up again!.
Now I have two twin sites, on .com.ar, and .com
I’ve set the .com.ar extension as ‘parked’, in the justhost’s domain manager. Should I set the justhost’s DNS’s for this domain?.

Thanks !!

I’ve manually changed siteurl and home options, in wp_options table, both pointing to the “.com” extension;
I’m still getting the error message.
