The wpmu_new_blog hook is indeed deprecated and shouldn’t be used; however, it works because it runs after the new site has been initialized (see wp_initialize_site()) which means the database tables for that site has been created and filled with the default options. So because you are updating the site’s options like default_comment_status, then you should … Read more
get_page_by_path() will only search in the current site. If you need to find a page anywhere in your Multisite network, you can do something like this. function network_page_exists( $path ) { $args = array( // Max sites to retrieve. // If you have a large network, increase this. ‘number’ => 100, ); $sites = get_sites( … Read more
Perhaps this is because I’ve got WP set up as multisite. Yes, that’s right, WordPress disables the siteurl (and also admin_email) settings on a Multisite — see register_initial_settings() for the source.

Yes, it’s possible to have 2 WP MultiSite installs on the same server – just treat them as 2 separate virtual hosts, put the WP files in separate folders and use separate databases (although you can use the same database server)
Basically, it turns out you need two dedicated IP addresses, or a third vhost. IP Address You could use two IP addresses and do something like this in your apache configuration: #IP address for WP NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80 #For everything else NameVirtualHost *:80 Then, make sure the VirtualHost for WordPress is declared thus: <VirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80> and … Read more
You need to set a wildcard serveralias in that site’s virtualhost declaration. Right under where it says ServerName example.com you should add another line like this: ServerAlias *.example.com You might have already done that, but it was the only thing missing from the list of things you had checked.
Anti-Splog from WPMUDev looks like a pretty strong tool for deleting spam blogs: http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/anti-splog
You’re missing the Template Name for the parent theme.
