I recently answered a very similar question. Instead of having 2 separate websites, it’s far easier to install a translation plugin. The plugin will basically add extra fields or tabs in edit mode. For example, if you are editing a page titled “Home”, you will have a field for the English page title and then … Read more
I had the same issue on multisite 3.9.It was a plugin issue (from one or multiple plugins). Went on ftp, created a new folder in wp-content called ‘Plugintest’, transfered all plugins from ‘plugin’ folder to ‘plugintest’ folder and I was able to go to plugin in Admin panel. Then put back plugins 1 by 1 … Read more
Nope, WP multisite will not affect your Google ranking as long as you maintain your previously indexed URL. You already mentioned in the comments that you’ll be using a subfolder installation – that’s great. Though I’d like to add even if you do a subdomain installation (or have a different domain altogether), you can retain … Read more
I asked our hosting provider for help and they modified the first web.config to work. <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <configuration> <system.webServer> <!– <security> <authentication> <basicAuthentication enabled=”false”/> <anonymousAuthentication enabled=”false”/> </authentication> </security>–> <rewrite> <rules> <rule name=”WordPress Rule 1″ stopProcessing=”true”> <match url=”^index\.php$” ignoreCase=”false” /> <action type=”None” /> </rule> <rule name=”WordPress Rule 2″ stopProcessing=”true”> <match url=”^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+)” ignoreCase=”false” /> <action type=”Rewrite” … Read more
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
It seems the problem is not with add_rewrite_rule rather with the .htaccessfile for the multi site. One of the test addresses was http://example.com/foobar/def/whatever.php Here’s a part of the htaccess which causes the result (Line 2) RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] If I comment this line out it works … Read more
You should be able to do this using the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin. I’ve just tested this and it seems to work if I go to the main site and login I’m then logged in on all the sub sites. I think you might need to tweek the domain options for the plugin under … Read more
Is it possible to make a wordpress multisite on domain.com and then every site that I make goes to domain.com/directory/newsite? no, this is not possible without some major code hacking as far as I can tell. I run a few multisites, and I have some local installations to play around and didn’t manage to find … Read more
I’d recommend the following: (no affiliation) https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/ For some reason I’ve had odd experiences with the search and replace db plugin recently. Also, I’d avoid using the defines in your wp-config.php file as some plugins do not use it and show strange behavior. Better to update the wp-options table for those two options if at … Read more
Before you select WordPress Reset to use, please check Plugin Author comments here. You can only use this plugin on the sub-sites, not the parent/master site of the multisite install. On each sub-site you use it on, it should reset the sub-site back to the original, just installed/created status. This plugin has never really been … Read more
