Azurite

I updated it and tried again, I still get the same error, regardless of which draft I pick or how long I choose.

I ended up redoing the entire posttypes.php file using the template given in the tutorial, and just did a find-replace to change the terms in the tutorial to the ones I wanted to use. Now everything’s working!

Sorry for the trouble!

Awesome, thanks!

I think I was somehow able to delete my own permban, because I was able to login again using the same network/IP address that before gave me my “You have been blocked” error.

Oddly enough though, the IP address my computer shows me in my Network Preferences doesn’t match what Superadmin Helper says I logged in with in the logs–any reason why that would be?

Hi there,

I see a page title that says what you describe, but no blue header with buttons; the only set of four-anything I see are the icons for the iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store.

Here’s a Dropbox link to a screenshot of what I see; maybe there’s something obvious I’m missing: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y5g9dn5732d4dyy/linkshare.png

I’m pretty sure I joined the iTunes Affiliate Program for the U.S. ages ago!
ETA: Ashamed to admit this, but it was an extension that was blocking me from seeing the four buttons in the blue header. I turned off my AdBlocker extension for the LinkShare page and the buttons appeared! I have my wrapper and have now updated in the plugin–thanks!

So it’s one condition, one rule, not two conditions that either/or must be matched, or condition A *and* condition B, then this rule?

I think most people won’t use the www, but that’s just my best guess.

I tried both methods, but neither seem to work; I get the same 404 message.

I tried seeing if having the dash in my domain name escaped would make a difference, but it doesn’t seem to. This is what I mean:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^seventh\-star\.net$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.seventh\-star\.net$

I also tried putting individual RewriteCond and RewriteRules like so, but it didn’t seem to help:

# BEGIN WordPress
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

#FOR OLD URLS THAT ARE NOW WORDPRESS SITES
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^seventh\-star\.net$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.seventh\-star\.net$
RewriteRule ^atw$ https://atw.seventh-star.net/ [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^seventh\-star\.net$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.seventh\-star\.net$
RewriteRule ^indigo$ https://indigo.seventh-star.net/ [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^seventh\-star\.net$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.seventh\-star\.net$
RewriteRule ^chixflix$ https://chixflix.seventh-star.net/ [L,R=301]
# END WordPress

So the RewriteRule only mentions the actual, existing WordPress install, not the one people might try and go to?

The only URL people might try to use (incorrectly) is this one: seventh-star.net/atw instead of atw.seventh-star.net

That’s what I’m trying to “plan” for.

To be clear, my domain is seventh-star.net (the main network blog). I have several subsites that are also WordPress sites, including atw.seventh-star.net. Formerly, I directed people to that blog with the URL seventh-star.net/atw which now brings up a 404 WordPress page.

How would I go about editing the 404 page to redirect where it wouldn’t apply to every mistyped URL or something?

And what do you mean by “grab the URL people are using and trim that”? I know what possible URLs might still be in use vs. what WordPress is using, but trim them how? With/for what?

Thank you for your help and clarification!

I’m using WordPress Multisite with 3.4.2…I don’t see the Avatar/Get Local Avatar’s admin screen. Where would I see it? It’s not accessible from the plugin page from either the Network Admin dashboard or an individual site’s dashboard (I’m logged in as a super-admin)

ETA: Nevermind, found it in Settings > Avatars.

But though I successfully managed to upload an image for another site of mine (another user) on my Multisite install, it doesn’t show up when I go to Settings > Avatar, though it does display when I manage the Avatar for that user. Should I be worried? I’m not allowing user uploads for others; I’m the only one who’ll be managing avatars and users for these sites.

Yay, that worked! Thank you!
In the future/for other themes, would I just look for CSS that mentions .comments-link in order to modify how it looks and where?

I’m having this issue too, on a multisite install running WordPress 3.4.2. Anyone have any insights?

I’m not sure why this got marked as resolved, because it’s not.

My host’s support responded with this: “The issue IS the redirect, but the fact that chixflix works and nothing else does makes no sense. I’ve compared the mb-config files and they’re all the same.”

I turned on diagnostics for Virtual Multiblog in the wp-config.php file and checked the error_log file in my indigo directory (where WordPress and VMB are actually installed), but I couldn’t find anything useful. Am I looking in the wrong place?

I already tried contacting the Virtual Multiblog developer (and he’s been on the forums here before), but I haven’t heard anything, and VMB doesn’t appear to have been updated since 2009. I’m considering switching to the official WordPress Multisite, but I’m not sure if it’ll do the same thing/be easy to switch…anyone know?

My host did get back to me, saying that the Virtual Multiblog “does not detect the wp-config file,” though I think he’s referring to the individual blogs’ mb-config-VUSER.php files. I’ve verified they’re all there in the right place and that they have the right naming schema, but only one of the blogs is working.

I’ve verified the table prefixes in PHP My Admin and matched them against what I put in each mb-config-VUSER.php file.

I’m not sure how the Virtual Multiblog system could see the config file for one site (chixflix) and not the others (atw, indigo), when it calls for the mb-autoconfig.php (basically wp-config.php from the original WordPress install with a new name) first, THEN the individual blog’s config, where the only difference is a line for specifying the table prefix (everything else is commented out).

Thanks for the tip about renaming the install file; I did that and now no one but me should have access.

I don’t have the ability to set symlinks up myself; I’m on a shared server and so I had to ask my host to do it for me. I’ve had no problems in the past when I’ve asked to set up symlinks for my subdomains, but when I tried to have a symlink for my MAIN domain, things went awry.

I’m trying to get them to put the symlinks back the way they were, and now all of a sudden my host is saying that this is “outside their scope of support,” and they have to forward me to code/scripting support, which may charge me for the help.

Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.

This worked for me, too! I tried it after following several other threads that suggested many of the same things, so I’m glad the end fix was simple.
