  • Tried the code from GitHub and I can’t figure out how to get it to work.

    I created a “simple-archive” template page by copying from page.php, entered the code below its content, and the result is the archive is within the “content” portion of the page, but the “tag” and “category” are below the content area at the base of the page.

    I’m not sure if I created a template page correctly or not, and not sure if the placement of the code is wrong, or the code is not complete, or ???

    Using Twenty-Ten theme, WordPress 3.8.1.

    I would like it to look just like you have it on your page at: https://robinadr.com/archives

    Hi Leo,

    It works! (new release 1.2.4)

    I’ve tried it with several themes and it worked for all of them.

    Thanks for your help and plugin, and your quick response and fix.

    I tried again ensuring that the image ended in .jpg (all lower case). When saving the image it is shown on the GarageSale Add Item page, but then going to the list all items page there is nothing there, and the web page now shows 3 items but no info or image.

    The images are on the server in: /public_html/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/garagesale

    Same error. Running Multi-Site. WordPress 3.6.1.

    Thanks again. My questions have been answered so I’ll mark this as resolved.

    Thanks Ipstenu. You’re right, I’m doing a lot at once, and as far as making mistakes, you’re right on that too. But I learn from my mistakes – well, sometimes, LOL.

    I can see now that domain mapping and multi-network can work together. I will take the plunge soon, but I am going to wait until my hosting company finishes the migration of my account to another server – all of my IP addresses will change.

    My shared server account is a reseller account that lets me do some stuff on the back end which really helps when I make big mistakes. I have in the past totally crashed a WordPress site but with back ups it was only a matter of minutes to get the site going again. One of the things I do is have several of the site’s files such as themes, plugins, and modified files stored in a folder within the domain account but NOT in the WordPress folders. When I crash the site, it’s a matter of copying the files back over after a re-install of WordPress. Saves a lot of time.

    You stress “DO NOT do this on a shard host. At all. Ever.”. Is this because multi-network, BuddyPress, etc., can become a resource hog? After the hosting company completes the migration I will set up private name servers, anticipating possible problems using the host’s shared name servers. With a private name server I will have a dedicated IP address, and hope this will mitigate any potential conflicts.

    1) & 2) I then assume that the plugin “WordPress MU Domain Mapping” would not be the choice. But perhaps these two, “WP Multi Network” and “BP Multi Network”. The latter probably the better choice. At this juncture, I do not know if both would be required.

    I’m a little confused as to the difference between sub-domains such as First.mysite.com, Second.mysite.com, etc., and multi-network.

    The main install would be the root, and for discussion purposes I will call that the root-hub. Would I be correct to say in multi-networks I could have the root-hub and emanating from that have other hubs, which in turn can have sub-domains and more hubs emanating from it? If so, it would seem possible to have a stand alone BuddyPress install independent from all other hubs. And I think that is exactly what what your answer implied (except for your answer to number 2).

    3) If I understand the network plugins mentioned above, it seems I would not need the Domain Mapping plugin. That is, if the network plugins are capable of having a domain point to a sub-network, it would seem it could point to a sub-domain of a sub-network.

    I am in no means a network or DNS aficionado, and since I have my sites on a shared server it appears I am going to have an interesting journey.

    My goal is to have the main site (root) as the gateway to sub sites such as blogs or stand alone sites, and one of those stand alone sites to be a BuddyPress install so it would be it’s own community. And of course, to be done with one WordPress install. Ipstenu, have you heard of this being done before? And thanks for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated.

    I too have a 500 email per hour limit sending out emails. I have had some issues with the newsletter plugin internal cron, and wasn’t sure if throttling was working correctly. And my host company disables wget (and get) since I am on a shared server.

    I have been testing this in my cPanel and it seems to be working:

    curl –No-output https://www.MySite.com/index.php (be sure the “N” is capitalized)

    “curl” calls the URL (i.e.; curl) and sends the request to a standard output stream (aka: stdout). And by adding the “–No-output” option (without the quotes) in front of the URL will prevent an output stream from being generated.

    In setting up your cron job (assuming your host gives you that capability), then you can schedule the above command to whatever you want. For testing I set it at five minutes, and I could see it was calling the page. So, when I get other issues worked out, I will set my schedule to once ever hour, with the hope that throttling my emails will be more precise.

    I suspect, and hope, that by calling WordPress index.php file, WordPress will recognize it as an actual hit.

    ” … I finally managed to configure it with a mail server …”

    When you managed to configure the mail server for bounce, what message did you get when pressing the “Save settings and test now” button after the page refreshes?

    I get “!ESMTP Exim 4.80 #2 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 13:31:13 -0500 .” (without the quotes). And I’m sure this is not a sign that the bounce test was successful.

    I too am having issues with the latest upgrade of your plugin. Checking the “Bounce” feature by pressing the “Save settings and test now” button I get this notice at the top of the page:

    !ESMTP Exim 4.80 #2 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 13:31:13 -0500 .

    I am using the “WP-Mail-SMTP” plugin to send emails (i.e.; the Newsletter via SMTP).

    I have created a dedicated email address to receive bounced emails, and the email address is functional using email clients (Thunderbird) where I can send and receive emails on this account.

    If the “Bounce” test is successful, what message should I expect to see?

    Thank you for your reply Ipstenu. I think my issue existed before setting up multisite without knowing it (again, I think this is what may have happened). My site has been around for some time, now mostly a test site. I have the plugin “Members” installed and most likely had the extra Super Admin set up with max privileges for purposes other than multisite. Although I deactivated ALL plugins before moving to multisite, the user (the extra Super Admin) info, privileges and capabilities were still in the database, including original email addresses, that now conflicted with the real Super Admin.

    In any case, I should have cleaned up my database of all the extra tables when I deactivated the plugins. Probably would have been closer to a clean WP install if I had.

    I’m a little fuzzy on why, when someone registers to a sub-site (i.e.; sub-domain setup) that upon registering they are sent to the main WP install dashboard. However, I understand your point that the new registered user is actually signing into the network, I ponder the possible confusion of the new user. That is, I’m registering to site-A, but I see that I actually registered to site-B. I would think that some new users may think they just logged into a scam site because they are sent to a site they had no knowledge of, especially if the site they logged into has a different domain name than the one they get sent to (i.e.; the main WP profile dashboard).

    It would seem cleaner, that the new user should see a dashboard of the site he just registered to. In other words, new user registers to site-A, gets sent to a dashboard that is titled site-A. Of course, his information resides in the WP database, and perhaps be able to see other choices of sites to choose from the pull-down menu, but at least he is initially sent to where he chose to go.

    Since this is my first try at using multisite, and found that the instructions on the WP site were pretty clear, and once the install was complete, all worked perfectly. To tell you the truth, I was shocked and pleasantly surprised. I am now finding some peculiarities to multisite, mostly I think is my lack of understanding of terminology and dated material about multisite, also referred to as Multi User.

    So, at this juncture, I will close this thread as resolved. Thank you again.

    Could not delete the admin of the sub site via WP.

    I deleted all sub sites. Used phpAdmin to delete mentioned admin.

    Created new sub site using a different user name and password, and the admin of the new sub site is NOT a Super Admin.

    Now I have a new issue that I’m not sure if it is related to my above problem. Going to the newly created sub site, register as a new user, and I get a confirmation email, click on the within the email, get sent to site with a password. Go to the “sub site” and login and I am sent to profile with in the “main” WP site. Why is a newly registered user at the sub site being sent to a profile page in the “main” site? Shouldn’t the newly registered user be sent to the sub site he logs into?

    Found the possible answer. The admin for test1.mysite.com and test2.mysite.com is listed under Network | Users as a Super Admin. (Super Admin Super admin privileges cannot be removed because this user has the network admin email.)

    But this Super Admin does not have the same email address of the Super Admin of the main WP install. Not sure how this came about.

    Any ideas how to edit the subdomain admin (listed as a Super Admin) email address so, hopefully, this admin cannot see other subdomains?

    I did not make myself clear.

    I’m trying to get the content created by a widget, to be included in the newsletter.

    A more generic question, can ALO EasyMail Newsletter pull anything from a WordPress site other than a “post” to be inserted into the newsletter?
