Also (and related), it would be nice to be able to activate breadcrumbs on the category page, not just the product page. It would make navigation more intuitive from the category pages.

No, that’s not the case. I had only a couple of Follow buttons and several Share buttons. Both sets doubled.

Thanks, Synved. Can’t do that, as I ended up using another plugin that was working for me. But the issue was as stated: instead of a single instance of sharing buttons, it would have two of each:

Something like:

Facebook Twitter Google Facebook Twitter Google

Very odd.

I’ve also created an audio test page to bypass the sermon browser plugins altogether. Here it is: https://stmarkreformed.com/audio-test-page/

The media player shows up fine (and plays) in the WordPress back end, but it doesn’t show up on the front end page at all.

For what it’s worth, I also quickly checked that test page using both the WordPress Classic theme as well as 2014, and neither one of them displayed the media player either.

Looks like the problem was somehow related to the Simple Local Avatars plugin. My guess is that something broke in one of the point releases of 3.8 between WP and the plugin. Using Avatar Manager now and things seem good again.

I’ve updated the details of this problem over on StackExchange: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/141752/users-problem-multi-author-plus-multisite

It appears that something is going on in the Users that is breaking things related to specific users. It’s pretty strange.

Going to repost this differently. Think I discovered it’s a problem related to users.

Hm, narrowing things down. I’m using an excerpt code for the front page, and by looking at View Source, I can see that somewhere in there the page stops loading in the middle of it.

This is the code I’m using:

<?php
$excerpts = new WP_Query( array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => 5
) );

if ( $excerpts->have_posts() ) :
?>
<ul>
<?php
    while ( $excerpts->have_posts() ) : $excerpts->the_post();
?><li><?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ), 96 ); ?>
<h2 class="post-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<p class="byline">by <?php the_author(); ?> <span>| <?php the_date(); ?></span></p>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?></li><?php
    endwhile;
    wp_reset_postdata();
?></ul><?php
endif;
?>

I’m calling the custom sidebar this way:

<?php get_template_part( 'inc-sidebar' ); ?>

Like I say, this works fine on the other pages, including other static pages, but not on my home page.

Because it was a separate issue from what I had listed here, I started a new thread, which I later marked resolved. The upshot is that I found a tutorial on how to upgrade from WPMU to WP 3.0, which I then did successfully. I then auto-upgraded directly to 3.8 without apparent issue.

As an update, this method appears to have worked, although I haven’t done thorough testing. I found the archive and downloaded WP3.0, followed the directions at the link in my previous message and updated from WPMU 2.8.6 to WP 3.0, then auto-updated to 3.8. Both sites appear to be working fine.

Found an old post with instructions for how to upgrade from WPMU (final version, mind you) to WP 3.0. https://developersmind.com/2010/05/12/upgrading-wordpress-mu-2-9-2-to-wordpress-3-0-beta-with-multisite/

Going to give that a shot and see how it goes.

Looks like I’ve successfully got things ported. The big challenge now is to figure out how to upgrade/update from WPMU 2.8.6 to something more current.

Thanks. One thing I realized this a.m. is that I did the search & replace before I realized that this was a multisite. Therefore the S&E was just against the .org domain, which left the base domain untouched. Not sure how much of a mess it will make if I do a search & replace against the base domain though. The .org domain has the content I want; the base domain was a testing site. And punching in an S&E both going to the new .com may really confuse WordPress (two sites > one site). Hmm.

I deleted what wpmu files I found, but I just noticed that this was being generated in my error_log:
