go to the plugin editor, open the shortcodes.php file and find the ms_global_search_page function. There I changed my $post_type variable line to look like the following:

$post_type = "( post_type = 'post' OR post_type = 'page' OR post_type = 'custom_post_type1' OR post_type = 'custom_post_type2')";

where custom_post_type1 and custom_post_type2 are my custom post types.

You can do it, if anyone’s has this problem post here and I’ll post a solution…sorry being lazy right now ??

Yeah I’m looking for a themes (ideally) that does something similar as well…how would you word that..social marketplace theme? when I search for that I get social marketplaces for themes….

I’m having the same problem, I’m using the colorbox js (not the plugin) on my wordpress multisite installation, worked great on my test site, moved to another site and I’m getting the box but the content isn’t loading. I have a couple different plugins installed so it might be a conflict there, but if you’re having it too the I don’t know what it is. Keep each other posted with solutions?

It wasn’t showing up under Screen Options either, but just fixed the problem by disabling and enabling the theme (found in another one of your posts). Thanks!

Thanks!!!! Much appreciated

Ah sorry I should have been more specific, it’s actually in the paths for the document root and server name in the big block of code at the bottom. It appears a few times, sometimes as a word with a dash an sometimes as without the dash, it starts with an f and ends with tech and rimes with smuga fleck ??

Thanks everyone,
After following this thread somehow I got a local wordpress mutisite install working with subdomains. I started out following the instructions at https://espositosmusings.wordpress.com/2010/07/28/installing-wordpress-multisite-with-mamp-on-os-x/ and had some problems connecting to the apache server and the article doesn’t really apply to subdomains so I had to play with it a bit. In the end here’s what worked using MAMP:

• In MAMP Preferences clicked “Set to default Apache and MySQL ports” which set ports to 80 and 3306, and under Apache set my document root to the local folder I’m using for my website
• For hosts I added two lines (add mysubdomain2, mysubdomain3 etc):

  <br />
  127.0.0.1       localhost<br />
  127.0.0.1       mydomain.dev<br />
  127.0.0.1      mysubdomain1.mydomain.dev<br />

• I noticed that I could access Mamp through mydomain.dev and mysubdomain1.mydomain.dev but it seemed like everyone was editing the httpd.conf file to include these so I went ahead and did it. Editing this originally is what was causing Apache to not connect, I must have been making a typo somewhere, but eventually this worked:

  Some of that I'm pretty sure is redundant but it seems to be working so far!

In general though, maybe we can put our conclusions from this thread into somewhere that's more accessible? Like https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Create_A_Networkk or a new article.

ipstenu,
Have you tried that before? That looks super easy, I was hoping I had looked something like that over. From there I could just use find and replace to sort out the permalinks in the database and that’s it?

Andrea,
I actually just spent the last hour reading your responses to other threads on doing a local install, trying to test that out as well but I really rather would have a remote install, but I am pretty nervous switching the format so I’m not what I’ll do yet. BTW thanks for sharing your massive amount of knowledge in these threads!

Thanks! Worked perfectly.

I’d love to know about this as well before I try to set it up…the goal is to have a network of sites, where one has a buddypress install…
