I haven’t used this yet….but was googling for a similar solution and came across your post as well as this one that may help you:https://www.wesedholm.com/2011/03/29/solution-wordpress-image-importer-from-external-url-images/

did you find another solution? let me know!

Problem has been solved. After I upgraded from 3.2 to 3.2.1 an old plugin I had got really funky and messed up the installation according to the ISP. I had to restore from a previous backup, and disable the rogue plugin (seo rank reporter).

Thanks for your help guys.

Anyway, I’ve eplained it to the ISP…they’re looking into it. In the meantime, I’m Having a look at my wp-config. Note this section:

define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true );
$base = '/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'clickmember.net' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

Is it strange that the following line is not there?

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

I tried adding it back, but same error when trying to add a new site. I took the line out because it didn’t seem to help…but question….should it be there?

No. So strange. I tried disabling all plugins, that didn’t help. I’ve tripple checked to make sure the login details to the database are correct – no problem there. all my other sub multsites are working fine.

I’m reluctant to speak to my ISP support, because explaining to them the nature of wordpress multisite might be difficult. Any suggestions in how I can communicate this problem to them!?

Thank you so much guys…

I looked into WHM, my server control panel, and couldn’t see any limits on SQL (was set to unlimited).

I had about 17 sites on the MultiSite setup. Some were just test sites. I deleted a couple to see if it would let me create a new working one…and it did not. Same problem.

thanks for helping Andrea…I can see this is gonna be a frustrating thing for me to debug.

I checked the wp-config.php and it’s looking fine…which makes sense, I already have around 20 working add-on WordPress sites.

any other ideas before I go to my ISP? I have a pretty good setup…dedicated server….so you’d think it’d be okay…

Also, the user has all privileges as well. see screenshot here:

No, I think I installed this manually. I just checked the Mysql database, and there’s one user which has access to the wordpress database.

Ah, yes. It seems as though what people do is they package the entire wordpress installation with extra language files in /wp-content/languages/

The wordpress installation was older than my own, but so far they appear to work. While very easy to do, it is a little combersome. For example, I don’t speak Spanish or French, so trying to figure out what to download was a little annoying.

Is it problematic to install an older version of a language file into WordPress?

also, when you say language pack, do you mean just download the entire WordPress under the appropriate language, and just extract the /wp-content/languages/*.* into my current installation.

Hi Andrea!

That page is so confusing. I want to install French but can’t figure it out. Language Pack? It’s not so straight forward.

And it seems like it depends on which version of WordPress I’m running as well?

It actually did work for me. I created the php file, inserted it into an existing theme, and when i created a “Page”, I just selected that file as the template, and voila, worked fine.

I don’t want to convert it to be a propper WordPress file, too much fiddling around…it’s only one page.

I just want to put in the correct hooks as mentioned above. Inserting

<?php get_header(); ?>

makes the page look funny. I just want the headers / meta tags and analytics code to be managed within WordPress.

Ah, thanks! I unchecked the following option and now image paths are inserted correctly:

Redirect administration pages to site’s original domain (remote login disabled if this redirect is disabled)

What does it mean remote login is disabled?

Also, you were correct, i originally had it in the mu-plugins. And moved it as per the new instructions…thanks!

Yes. I’m running latest version – Version: 0.5.4

Strange.

Yes, I’m using Domain Mapping plugin. As the plugin is a manual install I don’t get notified of any updates to the plugin. I’ll find out and report back.
