You must also register the wildcard domain *.dev.domain.com (The asterisk in as the sub-domain will usually allow you to create any sub domain you want and it will work) and point it to your main site. You can normally do this through you host’s Control Panel. I didn’t do this when I started with WPMU … Read more
You have to change other URLs in the database, not just in the wp_options tables. Use these queries in phpmyadmin to change post links and metadata within post and page content: UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, ‘http://www.olddomain.com/’,’http://www.newdomain.com/’); UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, ‘http://www.olddomain.com/’, ‘http://www.newdomain.com/’); UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = replace(meta_value, ‘http://www.olddomain.com/’, ‘http://www.newdomain.com/’); Reset … Read more
Use wp_mail(), not just mail(). It is a wrapper for PHPMailer, a class that takes care for many problems the native mail() function often gets. See my plugin 404 Tools for how to use it in this case. To send an HTML email see Milo’s answer to a related question.
WordPress is not receiving requests, check if mod_rewrite is enabled and an .htaccess file is being generated by WordPress (assuming you are using Apache, not IIS). See using pretty permalinks and fixing permalink problems for more info.
Correct rewrite rules for wordpress.conf are: location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args; } but the main issue was location. I misread at Dreamhost’s wiki where I had to put this wordpress.conf. An awesome lady at Dreamhost explained it to me. I am very grateful for her telling me this oversight! With Dreamhost it has … Read more
Ok, I found the problem. It wasn’t a WordPress problem, but a server issue. I had to add the file extension .mp4 with MIME type video/mp4 in the MIME types of the IIS server. Here is the link I found with the steps to correct the issue: http://forums.asp.net/t/1470612.aspx/1 1) Select the site to configure in … Read more
You’ll need to add 301 redirects for the old URL to the new one. Your best bet is to do this via .htaccess, in your theme, or using a plugin like one of these: http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-301-redirects/ http://wordpress.org/plugins/safe-redirect-manager/ Edit: Another option OPtion 2 would be to disregard the date in the URI altogether. You could unset them … Read more
To exclude a directory and all virtual requests to it, extend the regular rules: # WordPress # Images, Stylesheets etc. don’t need a HTML 404 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.+\.\w{2,4}$ # Existing file RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f # Existing directory RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d # Symbolic link RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l # Do not touch the directory ‘clients’ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} … Read more
You are essentially trying to create a “fake” page without having to create a physical page in the WordPress database and for that, you will need custom re-write rules. For more details see my answer here: Setting a custom sub-path for blog without using pages? Quick overview: step 1: setup your custom rewrite rules add_action(‘init’, … Read more
Go to http://[your-site].com/wp-admin and have a look in the Posts or Pages menu (or if it’s a custom post type, the edit screens for your post type). Also, if it’s indeed there, check your permalinks (Settings > Permalinks) and save them even if you don’t make any changes. This will flush the permalinks, which might … Read more
