jahshuwaa: There doesn’t seem to be a hook. I think this would be a good enhancement request for 3.1

I looked on trac and found this:
https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/10891

So it’s on the radar.

I like the idea of having segmented user types, but I don’t think that addresses the problem I hear (and experience) most often: questions often go unanswered.

I think the best way of fixing that problem is to incentivize answering questions. Maybe make it more game-like. Stack Overflow does this with ‘badges’ and ‘reputation points.’ I know SO isn’t what you guys want, but they’ve done a great job incentivizing answering questions, and because of that, people actually answer the questions.

You could apply the the_excerpt filter to the post content, manually shorten the length of the content, and hook a priority 1 filter to it that will remove shortcode from the content.

Never mind. I just added it into the plugin which was already working.
I also changed the code to

$position_first_class=stripos($string,'<li class="');
  $position_first_class += 11;
  $replacement_insert='<li class="first_item ';
  $string_1 = substr($string,0,$position_first_class);
  $string_1 = str_ireplace('<li class="',$replacement_insert,$string_1);
  $string_2 = substr($string,$position_first_class);
  $string = $string_1.$string_2;
  $position_last_class=strripos($string,'<li class="');
  $replacement_insert_2 = '<li class="last_item ';
  $string_3 = substr($string,0,$position_last_class);
  $string_4 = substr($string,$position_last_class);
  $string_4 = str_ireplace('<li class="',$replacement_insert_2,$string_4);
  $string = $string_3.$string_4;

It works now. Weird…

vurea,
I found a plugin that fixed the problem:
root Cookie Path

Actually, I found a plugin that fixes the problem:

Here’s the solution I used (this only works if: 1, your subdomains are run out of subdirectories of the directory in which wordpress is installed; and 2, your permalink settings are set to default (i.e. https://www.somesite.com/?p=123)):

create a file named index.php in the subdomain’s directory. In that index.php file, paste all of the code from wordpress’ main index.php file and make the following modifications:

before any other code (before the line that starts with ‘define’), add
$_GET['page_id']=XXX;
where XXX is the page_id of the page you want the subdomain to show (if you don’t know it, go to the page while permalinks are set to default and it’ll be in the url). This defines the page in the script without having it in the url

Then, where it says
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
add one more period at the beginning of the filepath so it looks like this:
require('../wp-blog-header.php');

This tells it to load the wordpress environment, and tells it that it will find the file one directory up (rather than the normal “in the same directory” location).
The advantage of this method is that it actually runs the same wordpress installation that your main site does, so it’s a lot easier to manage. Any changes to the blog will immediately take effect in the subdomains as well. The only downsides I’ve come across so far are: 1: user info does not persist between subdomains and the main site, which means users would have to log in each time they go to a new subdomain; and 2: It’s difficult to get widgets, etc. to link to the subdomain rather than just the page (the only way I’ve found is to manually go into the code and write extensive “if” statements telling it how to display some links).

barrybell,
I am in the same situation. My blog has multiple users and each has a subdomain as a ‘profile’ or ‘user-info’ page, but login info doesn’t persist. Could you give me a link to where I can find the plugin, or at least email it to me? webmaster(AT)culturalgadfly(DOT)com.

By the way, I’m running it off of a Godaddy shared Windows server, if that helps.

to display a ‘single page’ on a subdomain, I copied the index.php file and put it in the subdomain’s directory and changed

require('./wp-blog-header.php');

to

require('../wp-blog-header.php');

This only works if your subdomain is run out of a child directory of the one WP is installed in. To make it display the content of the page I wanted on it, I added

$_GET['page_id']=XXX;

where XXX is the page_id number. This only works if your permalinks are set to the default of p=XXX, page_id=XXX, etc.

to display a ‘single page’ on a subdomain, I copied the index.php file and put it in the subdomain’s directory and changed

require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);

to

require(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);

This only works if your subdomain is run out of a child directory of the one WP is installed in. To make it display the content of the page I wanted on it, I added

$_GET[‘page_id’]=XXX; where XXX is the page_id number. This only works if your permalinks are set to the default of p=XXX, page_id=XXX, etc.
