Just an added note: I’m very doubtful the issue has anything to do with the “page links to” plugin, as the same issue happens if, when looking at a post, you click on the category name “front page”. It takes you to the exact same URL with the exact same results.

figured out how to rename themes, and now have slightly varied themes for each sub-site. Trying out a random image thing found here:

https://ma.tt/scripts/randomimage/

well, I almost got it to work, but no dice. Looks like I’m going to have to find 6 more different plugins that do the same thing just to do something that should be simple…

Still haven’t found a solution…

Is there an easy way to modify flashfader to be recognized under a different name, with its own folder? So, for example, I copy the folder and modify the files so that WordPress recognizes the plugin as “flashfaderschool1” and “flashfaderschool2” and activate and modify them accordingly?

Or, is there another slideshow plugin that’s smart enough to distinguish between subsites?

Or, could someone point me toward information about modifying the theme to have something similar built in?

I’ve been doing searches here & there on the above and haven’t stumbled upon the answer myself, so any help is appreciated!

AH HA! Nevermind – somehow the .htaccess file had gotten renamed .htacces (missing an s).

All better! (After a few days of trying different things here & there…)

ignore the [code][/code] tags, they are not in the .htaccess file, I’m used to different forum software…

I tried rebuilding permalinks earlier with no change (switched to a different style, checked, switched back again, checked).

The district site is on the main domain, the 6 school sites are on subdomains.

ipstenu – contents of the .htaccess file are below:

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

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
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-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
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][/code]

I should add – at one point we had only the district site set up, before we figured out multisite setup. During that time, pages and posts in the district site worked.

Thanks, looks like I have some reading to do (as well as developing some php skills). I’ll post back if I get stumped, thanks again!

After talking to the server guy, it looks like it will be Mu.

Honestly, I’m not sure how the guy setting up the server & wordpress software is planning on doing the sub-sites, as he hasn’t set them up yet. I had originally been working with wordpress mu, but the school’s tech guy is handling everything on the server setup & wordpress installation level, and that doesn’t seem to be the version of wordpress he’s installed.
