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
Yes, with domain mapping and a compatible hosting account. There are a few good domain mapping plugins available that may work for you with a little configuration. I have used Domain Mapping pluginby Barry, as well as WordPress MU Domain Mapping. There is also the Multi-Domains plugin from wpmudev, which allows the creation of subdomains … 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
Start right now with multi-site, before you add content. Moving content from a former single site to multi-site on the same domain is not exactly a seamless process. And yes, subdomains are one of the features of a multi-site setup.
Sort of a vague question, but I think I understand what you’re getting at. You’d need to use a WordPress Multisite installation, which will effectively create localized blogs on a subdomain (brisbane.example.com, perth.example.com). Using a single site WordPress installation to do this is possible, using CNAME mapping on the domain, however this would not suit … 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
In response to @krysiek’s comment above, I simply selected the default permalink setting, saved, then selected correct permalink setting and resaved. Works perfectly.
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ([a-z0-9-]+)/? http://$1.example.com [R=301,NC,L] Replace both instances of “example.com” with your domain name. Taken from: htaccess Subdomain Redirect
The online resources I’ve read suggest this will allow me to use different plugins and themes on the two sites whilst allowing a search from either site to bring up results from both sites. Is this correct? Yes, is correct. In multisite environment you can install different plugins/themes for different sites. Once the database is … Read more
If you’re using an absolute reference like that, you’d want to include the full file path, like http://diginomics.com/wp-content/themes/THEMENAME/css/style.css I believe any time you call the functions like get_stylesheet_directory() or get_stylesheet_directory_uri() it will return the path for the current theme. Just keep in mind that all themes need a style.css file. I would have posted this … Read more
