Thanks you guys for your replies!

So I wouldn’t consider myself a rookie, lets say and enthusiast. And I completely understand what you all are saying and wouldn’t dream of minimizing this feat by expecting that I can do it alone so let me rephrase my question:

We are currently at around the 100 site mark expecting to grow exponentially. I want to prepare for the event that we out grow our shared hosting soon but when we make the switch I would like to switch to something that A) would be affordable and manageable by me but also B) at which point we have a system big enough to hire a DB Guru to handle everything I don’t want him to have to undo & fix all of the stuff that I’ve already done. So I just want to be able to be prepared for exponential growth while minimizing the cleanup needed to be done someone else when we get large. Now as far as TB of data and scaleability is this more of a Dedicated Server path or more of a Cloud Computing Amazon/S3/EC2 kind ok deal?

Thanks again!

Thanks vtxyzzy! That actually worked great! I can imagine almost an endless amount of possibilities for filters! great!

I believe I was running into the same issue but did a temporary fix by bringing up the code for the plugin and replacing “blogs.dir” to “uploads/sites” so the the plugin looks for and copies content into that folder instead. Hopefully this helps!

Thanks for the input! Your code definitely cleans up my if statement later on but it seems that it is still sorting the posts by the year. Is there any way to possibly automatically set the menu order to the day of the month and then sort the posts by the menu order? That sounds messy in my mind and don’t really know how I would go about doing that.

Thanks again!

Thanks for your fast reply! Unfortunately I don’t think that will solve my problem as wordpress is sorting the posts from oldest to newest in the scope of all time in that the post from 1968 comes before the one from 1992, but I would like the posts only to be sorted within the scope of the month meaning that a post on the 5th day will always come before a post on the 17th day regardless whether or not the post on the 17th was posted a hundred years before the other one.

It is a fresh 3.5 install. I did a find and replace (no disrespect) on your code from blogs.dir to uploads/sites and tried it a few times an everything transfered great! I know this is surely not a permanent fix and look forward to you all doing the update!

Your has help has absolutely won my vote to your plugin!

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the fast response! Rest assured if we can get this fixed in the next few days my company would love to be “Pro Members” of your plugin and support you all anyway we can. Here is what I have found so far:

I got the IDs of each site out of the URL when viewing the details of the specific site from the network page. FTPing into my site I found that neither the template site nor the copied site had folders in wp-content/blogs.dir/[ID] and of the sites that did have folders in them only one had any content other than just directories…

BUT!!

I did find the content in wp-content/uploads/sites/[ID] and when I copied the contents from the template to the child it worked perfectly! Is this a setting I can change to change where the files are stored or is there some sort of workaround I can implement in the meantime? Please let me know if there is anything else I can do or try.

Thanks a lot!!

^The same thing is happening on my end. I’m not sure this is important but I’m on a sub Directory Network running 3.5
