there are 4 subfolder installations,
https://www.fortherestless.com/login/news, https://www.fortherestless.com/login/media, https://www.fortherestless.com/login/tours, https://www.fortherestless.com/events

They are blogs, and I wish to use them to easily update my pages on my website.

So the content of the blog .com/login/news, should show up (in the end) on .com/news.php.

The old way was to have 4 different installations for each blog, using the the 4 different wp-blog-header.php files.

Now the blogs are under one dashboard, a network, to help simplify things and not needing to log out and in 4 times.

Since I just succeeded in making a network installation I need to figure out a way of letting them show up again on those pages.

The old way this was configured was with the short and sweet code,
so since this is no longer an option, due to the error above…

the posts of the blog should show up on the corresponding external website page, using the configurations set in the theme.

There are a few differences in some as the way archives are set.
Each subdirectory has it’s own theme configured.

what you see here
https://www.fortherestless.com/login/newz

should show up here, combined with the css rules and theme archive settings
https://www.fortherestless.com/testnews.php

the way it looks here
https://www.fortherestless.com/news.php

(this page is running on the php code, on a previous install of wordpress located in https://www.fortherestless.com/forms/newz)

LOL

so, I have been trying for days to get the multisite running, and now there’s no way to have these blogs show up in an external site ?

None whatsoever ?

The support at sohosted fixed it for me, it was down to slashes and spaces.

Here’s the iirf.ini for anyone battling the same issue.

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

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

also, this file is in the wwwroot folder, so one folder up from where my install is located, in the folder /login/

I now have

# StatusUrl /iirfStatus
StatusInquiry ON
RewriteLog C:\windows\system32\LogFiles\iirf\iirf
RewriteLogLevel 1
RewriteRule /eurl\.axd/ - [L]

# BEGIN WordPress

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^/ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^/[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^/[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

and it is still not working…

sigh…

I’m gonna give up any minute now I think…

Just a silly question probably, but there are no folders as the login page suggests.
/login/
/login/diary
/login/newz and so on…

I don’t need to make those directories, right ?
I have a blogs.dir in the wp-content (also emtpy) but if I understood it right that should be the case too.

they support ASAPI, no word of them yet officially but found out googling around that they do have it on their servers.

just to be clear, is this a correct replacement then ?
edit: it is not since it is still not working, probably missing something.

# END WordPress

that’s a correct translation, I’ll go ahead and try this, in the meantime I’m awaiting an answer to my email. Will keep you posted as soon as I can.

ok, email sent. it probably will be tomorrow when I get a reply.

They do support rewrite, but I’m afraid that’s getting a bit too technical for me at the moment…

some info here:
https://www.sohosted.com/helpdesk/faq/vraag=129/kan-ik-urls-rewriten-sefseopermalinkshtaccess

URL’s rewrite is also possible, but not with htacces, but iirf.ini

Sohosted uses exclusively windows server 2003, in combination with IIS6 (internet information services 6)

so it reads on their site.

I hope this helps ?

bump

I’ve got the the blogs installed in these folders
…..com\forms\newz
…..com\forms\diary
…..com\forms\media
…..com\forms\tours

so I would like
…..com\forms
as the login form, with the 4 other blogs in there.
Does this mean I need to isntall a wordpress in the forms folder too,
and when I add the other blogs can the files be removed from the server, does this work via the sql databases on my server ?

help please anyone,
I take it I can do this with the multi site option in the new version of wordpress…

Thanks but I’m afraid that’s not the problem, I should have been clearer.
I uploaded a picture of the problem, which only seems to happen in IE, not in firefox.

The archive has a small border, above the “contact/policy/search” row.
It should not be there, since I use the same css files everywhere so the problem comes from somewhere else, perhaps the archive or index page but I can’t find it…

Above picture is the problem (pointed at with the arrow), the lower picture is how it should look.

click here for the picture

ok, I got your point.
IE supports up to h6, so I renamed h9 to h6 and this seems to work !

however the padding in the archive is now all messed up, the op and bottom of the headers is way too large, plus the italics are also in bold now.

any clues ?

I hope this is the last of consequence problems in the long list of this thing.

“edit: fixed the padding, now the bold”
“edit: fixed that too, the rest.css was missing from the archive page header”

remove the whole blurb of h9{…h9 span } ?
or the complete style.css ?

but what will make it look like the way it should ? blue and the date in italics and white…

I’m afraid I don’t quite follow, please elaborate if you can ??

ok I fixed most things using the html validator
and the switching header thing is resolved.

however the recurring error one is this

Line 219, Column 4: element “h9” undefined

h9 is defined in the style.css as such

h9{
	font-family: "Trebuchet MS";
	font-size: 16px;
	color: #10A7CD;

}
h9 span{
	font-family: "Trebuchet MS";
	font-size: 14px;
	font-style: italic;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	margin-left: 2em;

}

I needed to make a change in the header calling, as the classes returned errors on the validator so it is called like this at the moment.

<div class="itemhead">
<h9><?php the_title(); ?><span><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></span></h9> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> -->
                                          </div>

Only in IE this is not working, I inserted an IE only css but it’s not working so far…
