We’ve tried that one, and also User Role Editor. Neither seems to do the trick.

What we’re finding is, because site admins can’t get into the edit user screens, they can’t promote users. In our install a user signs up, and gets the default role of Subscriber. We’d like the blog admin to be able to promote them to Editor.

Grr. not working at all. object tag code disappears without a trace. I’d been using Capabilities Manager, but deleted it and the roles it had created, then started building fresh with this. But it doesn’t do it either.

Users are also having trouble changing some widget options, Twitter Tools for one.

Found the answer myself. I’d recently had to change the URL of the server, and had added the line “define(‘RELOCATE’,true);” to the wp-config file. The wp-login.php script looks for that setting and changes the database entry if it finds it.

I’d missed the part in https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL where it’s recommended you blow it away after getting things set up.

Yes, the WordPress MU Domain Mapping lets you do that. https://epirate.shu.edu and https://wp-web1-prod.shu.edu/theblueorange are both working off of the same install right now. But I can’t get the permalink structure of epirate.shu.edu to be anything other than /?p=xxx and I’d like it to be /2010/08/my_post.

Yes, they do. The “pretty” permalinks are all completely functional. I can’t get them to work on the anothersite.yourdomain.edu version though, only the default ones.

that’s the thing: I’m setting up 40 or so different blogs. Most are yourdomain.edu/site1, yourdomain.edu/site2.

But there are a few that we want to be subsite.yourdomain.edu, or anothersubsite.yourdomain.edu.

Not sure what you mean. In my httpd.conf file I’m mapping them to the server root (same as the root blog). My configuration on the Domain Mapping screen points to the box’s IP address.

In the SuperAdmin::Sites::Edit screen, the domain is the new one (epirate.shu.edu) and the path is “/”. Site URL and Home are set to https://epirate.shu.edu.
