I finally figure it out. I was missing a binding on my main WordPress site in IIS. I needed to add one for the sub-site, in this case child.example.com, specifying the same IP. After doing that I could successfully browse to the sub-site. Presumably when IIS can’t find any matching binding for the given host … Read more
You don’t need to get to the /sitename sub-directory. You install the theme in the themes sub-directory, and enable it for all sites. WPMU doesn’t have an out-of-the-box capability to enable a theme for one site only, but I there might be plugins that give that functionality.

Typically, each instance of WordPress has it’s own database. If you have 20+ seperate WordPress installs, then you should have 20+ different databases. Each database is going to have quite a few tables. If it is asking you to clear the database tables, then it is most likely only referring to the data for a … Read more
Old question but I just came accros a fix. I hope it helps someone else. Add this to your theme functions.php file add_action( ‘wp_before_admin_bar_render’, ‘remove_mysites_comment_link’ ); function remove_mysites_comment_link () { global $wp_admin_bar; foreach ( (array) $wp_admin_bar->user->blogs as $blog ) { $menu_id_c=”blog-” . $blog->userblog_id . ‘-c’; $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu($menu_id_c); } }
