Thanks to the gang, all works now…

Uploaded & over wrote domain_mapping.php
Uploaded & over wrote sunrise.php
No chg needed for wp-config

Ahhh Andrea,

You were so helpful when I first built all this and you again have the answer I needed – Thanks

I downloaded the plugin & unzipped
Do I simply ftp all files & overwrite existing
Or are there any more steps or changes to make because I’ve never ‘updated’ a plugin via ftp as I was always able to us ‘auto’ update on other plugins

Thanks Andrea for the response

Under my login name at the top rt of the page, I’ve toggled between ‘views’ for ‘network admin’ & ‘site admin’ plus the (newly discovered) ‘edit plugin’ screen and looked at the plugins listed and it no longer exists (or is not recognized) in those areas yet functionally seems to still be working (ie specific domains still point to specific sites when browsed)

Any other ideas…

Andrea – did you have any thoughts…

Thanks Andrea

It’s taken a couple days for me to get back at it
I adjusted the widget code as per ‘comments’
Uploaded but when I activated it I got the following error:

The plugin generated 988 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.

What do you think? (I use the ‘feedpress’ plugin)

This plugin has helped me tons…

I have a main blog that pulls it’s content from 4 individual blogs via rss – they become actual ‘posts’. Work’s like a charm

I just went thru all this with godaddy (they’re no help).

Double check your .htacess file against the info in Wp>dashboard>tools>network

I beleive I’m doing what I think you want

In my root I have an index.php (for wordpress) and an index.html (for my non-WP portion of the site) My host gives priority to the index.php when coming to the site so when someone hits my site it is controlled by wp but they are redirected to my html page

This is set up on my WP ‘home’ page (@ the bottom of page)
I tell it to ‘Point to’ my index.html
(this is done with https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/page-links-to/)

Thank You!!

Got it working. I missed uploading the sunrise.php the first time around. & had placed the -> define( ‘SUNRISE’, ‘on’ ); <- near the bottom of the wp-config file

thanks

I tried installing that plugin last night but got into trouble that I could barely back out of… so I got a few questions because the install instructions weren’t clear enough for a rookie like me
( https://ottopress.com/2010/wordpress-3-0-multisite-domain-mapping-tutorial/ )

– do I actually upload this plugin to the regular plugins folder or just upload ‘domain_mapping.php’ file to the mu-plugins (which I manually created last nite)

– Where is the perfect place to install the
-> define( ‘SUNRISE’, ‘on’ ); <-
command line in the wp-config file

Once it’s installed I can probably work my way thru the setup for the sub & full domains

no,
I set up wp3 w/sub-folders because I wanted to simulate my old setup so as not to break links & rss feeds. My pre-wp3 setup was 15 single installs of wp (in sub-folders in the root). The one sub-domain was the exception which was pointed to the sub-folder of my orig main blog

Is there a solution? I also have some domains I’d like to point to blogs (virtual folders) in my wp3

Thanks

I’ll point blog.mysite.com to the root of mysite.som (where my ntwk insatll is) but, sorry for being dense, but where do I actually do (call out) the ‘domain mapping’ for blog.mysite.com

Thanks

Is that a godaddy thing or a WP thing (ie puggin of modifying a file) & how

Currently there is nothing in the folder that the subdomain is pointed to because I removed that ‘single install’ of wp. I can reinstall a new ‘single install’ of wp in order to accomplish this if ness.

Yes, it is creating a real sub-domain that I can point at any folder I want (except…. it seems, a virtual folder). If I don’t specify a folder that currently exists, it creates a real one.

The sub domain is/was already in use & ‘published’ I would prefer not to loose that small seo advantage but if I have to choose wp3mu over reusing one sub-domain, I’ll stick with wp3mu unless there an alt solution

thanks

My pre wp3mu blog was in a folder.. mysite/blog
My blog is now in virtual folder… mysite/mainblog
If i try to point sub-domain blog.mysite.com to mysite/mainblog,
godaddy automatically creates a ‘real’ folder… mysite/mainblog
For fun, I deleted that new ‘real’ folder but still didn’t work

Any other ideas

I called godaddy they were no help
This is outta my league
