Thanks, I got it installed and now the code runs fine. However, because these are posts themselves, it actually brings up the comment box under these posts. I placed the code in a page that I had commenting turned off, is it possible to hide these posts?

I checked with my web host, they actually don’t have suhosin installed. So, I tried to edit the plugin file (si-contact-form/si-contact-form.php), but somehow I triggered a fatal error on line 1223. Now the plugin is disabled.

Then, how can I allow the same group of user that signed up at any of the networked sites to access and log into all other sites in that network?

It works pretty well, no sign of any error messages yet. Thanks

My old installation was based on domain.com, but it just keeps getting me into problems. And I have no idea I can test this on localhost. And I thought I read the docs already.

The front end has no problem at all, it’s the backend, where all the panels are unaccessible. I’m using subdomains.

Not really, what I mean is that when I created the new sub site, none of the users from the previous site was inherited over, so are the plugin settings. They were like the default settings.
Another thing is, I noticed there are more tables in the database (same names as the original one) that are prefixed with 2. I assume they are specifically for the second subsite. However, these tables (prefixed with 2, for the second subsite) is by no means a copy of the original ones. A lot of them, are missing (if that’s not the intended behavior), and some of them include the user table and the user meta table.

Which lead me to believe, that’s it the cause of some problems I’m having right now. I posted another thread here. Seems like I’m always having trouble getting WordPress functional.

Got it, thanks, I will keep you updated in case any change is needed.

I just re-installed my WP site, and all the configs are erased, so are the plugins. I haven’t asked my web host yet, but if anyone is having the same issue. I’d be happy to learn about your solution.

I also tried with some other importer tools, NONE of them works. This is native WP to WP transfer, how can it go so wrong. Both of the WP installations are in the same version, so why doesn’t the “built-in” plugins work?

And even if it did work, for the only time I have succeeded, everything was separated. I mean, I got the posts, pages, tags, categories, and comments, but they are all un-attached and not associated with each other. Can anyone explain what’s going on here?

The strangest thing I find in WP is that there are export plugins and import plugins, but they don’t work in pairs. I’m just wondering, how am I suppose to import something if the importer and exporter plugins use different formats?

I had to re-install everything. But the good thing is, once that’s done, almost everything works now (except some old plugins, sometimes I wonder if WP upgrades way too fast). I should have done this ages ago, but there were just too many stuff.

Just to summarize, in case some one else is having the same problem:
– like andrea said, use https://www.example.com instead of example.com
– when things don’t work out, backup and reinstall
Note: although it would be really great if WP allows me to test this multisite feature on my localhost. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mess up my live site so much.

Thanks for all of your replies, the site finally works!

Okay, after running some tests, I figured out that the reason why the set of multisite configuration doesn’t work is because I removed the /blog/ portion from the permalink structure, which by default, which is /blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/. (I wonder if I can swap it for something else, or even entirely remove it, which is my original intention). I’m glad this worked out.

Another thing is that, I went back to the database and did some testing, now ‘www.example.com/wp-admin/network/’ is accessible with the correct path name, but nothing other than that is correct. Here is the error message that I got:

“The page isn’t redirecting properly.
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.”

So, I checked the list of cookies I have. There are 3 cookies for /, 2 cookies /wp-admin/ (one is called wp-settings-time-1 and the other is just wp-settings-1), and finally, 1 cookie for /wp-content/plugins.
I know that Firefox 5 can accept cookies right now (of course), but why would it refuse cookie from /wp-admin/network/? I also did a few cookie clearing, no result.

And finally, I still have the 403 problem to deal with.

Okay, I just found out that I might have been the world’s biggest idiot. For all these times, I thought the Sites option is going to pop up as an independent menu of its own. It’s actually under Dashboard. I saw the site configuration, Hallelujah.
Note, however, I didn’t use the full configuration, just ‘define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );’. Because full configuration (that I obtained from step 5 of multisite install) would still give me a database connection error. I wonder how that would impact the site operation in the future.

But that doesn’t mean the end of my misery here. The 403 still seems to persist and is now a much bigger issue than anything else. Every single action I do now ends up with a 403 Permission Forbidden. I’d like to find out why, really.
Also, when I try to access network admin, the address was something like ‘www.example.comwp-admin/network/’. I know that the right address should be ‘www.example.com/wp-admin/network/’, but I’m guessing I missed a / when replacing my site path. Any idea on which WP table I should look for? Thanks for your replies.

I told you, the tables are there, every one of them. Maybe some don’t have any records, but they are all there. And where can I edit my post? I really don’t see any option or links or whatever.

Regards,
Angela

And you mentioned those tables. I haven’t checked the databases (which database are you talking about?), but the tables mentioned on the error page do exist, everyone of them. But I mean, if the wordpress database was not working, I wouldn’t get the site up regardless whether or not I enable multisite.

And I’m thinking about enable debugging (although it’s live but I don’t think I have too much traffic right now), any suggestions?
