YES this plugin is BROKEN!

When I try to connect new sites, I get the same error

Invalid API Key, username, and/or password. Please try another combination.

For the sites that were integrated before the plugin broke, they still show they are connected to CC, but there is no data transfer!

Would love to see this plugin working again really soon! It was amazing while it worked!

Using latest plugin version…

Yes, I am using the right information. I can log into constant contact just fine. I even tried logging in with the user info that works, and that still produced the same error.

I would expect it to be a user issue, except for the fact that, even my website that is connected to CC, the plugin is not working. There is no transfer of data. When someone fills out the form, their info is not sent to my CC list.

Thanks for your response

@forhuntersbyhunters,

Domain forwarding is not the way you want to go! All that will do is redirect visitors to your site.

For example, if someone goes to, yourdomain.com and you forward it to, this.mydomain.com, then once the user gets to the site they won’t see yourdomain.com they will see this.mydomain.com.

This also means that yourdomain.com won’t have any SEO benefits. People will not be able to visit your site by going to pages like, yourdomain.com/about.

There is the option to forward your domain and mask it. Which means when someone goes to yourdomain.com and if it is forwarded to this.mydomain.com they will still see yourdomain.com, but that is all they will ever see. Masking prohibits pretty permalinks. There will never be yourdomain.com/about, this page will just be yourdomain.com.

You do not want to forward and you do not want to mask for sure!

For domain mapping to work you have to set your A record to point to the IP address of the multisite install.

The biggest benefits to setting this up right, SEO and Findability. Make it easy for people to find your website, your website pages. Make it easy for search engines to index your
pages, and make it easy for people to share your content!

SIDE NOTE: Do not listen to the techs at Godaddy, they do not know what they are talking about…

I hope this helps…Let me know what else I can do to help!

Yes you can login to each site directly.

i.e sub.domain.com/wp-login.php

You can use the super admin login to log in directly to each site, which will give you access to all sites on the network.

If you want others to have access to specific sites without having access to all network sites you will need to create unique users for them on those specific sites.

@mainpen, I wonder if you’ve resolved this issue?

If not what you will need to probably do is make sure your BlueHost server has a dedicated IP address assigned to it. For some reason, using the shared IP does not resolve to your network site when you change the a record on your domain.

Hi karyyyn,

yes @andrea_r is right…

However, what I did was took a .htaccess file from another Multisite install that was working. and uploaded it into the directory of the site that was giving me problems.

That resolved the issue..

If you want to email me, I can send you my .htaccess file and you can try uploading it.

[email removed]

ok so it seems I just found a solution…

@ipstenu said, “Can you copy over your .htaccess from one of them?”

Although I thought I had tried that in the past and it did not work, I just tried it again and it worked…!!!! Thank you!

Why!? I do not understand why I can not create a new htaccess file and it work, why must I copy one from another working MS site for it to work?

which hosts have you tried?

I have tried ixwebhosting, which I have 4 other multisites installed on and they work fine. I have tried arvixe.com, bluehost, coolhandle.com…

and then the admin areas on the sub sites won’t work.

The admin area still works, the sub sites still work. The only thing not working was the uploader, for obvious reasons.

But this is really strange! I have done MS a ton of times and it was like one day it just stopped working and I get the same issue.

This was my latest failure, https://humanizeyourbusiness.net/ click on sample page tab.

Ok, I’ll try that for the third time (of course I have to argue with them because it cannot be there fault), but I think it is something else. I have had the same issue now with three different hosting providers.

The only way I have gotten it to work on all three providers is to follow this procedure.

1. Install WordPress
2. Change Permalink structure (so the htaccess file is created automatically)
3. Setup WordPress multisite without changing the htaccess file as suggested.

That is the only way I can get permalinks to work…I know it creates other issues…

PS. Thank you everyone for you help!

No, and No.

Andrea_r how do I “explicity state which accounts / folders / subfolders are able to use htaccess files and which do not.”

Thanks

No, well I guess if I change the name so I can download it to my computer and then upload it and change the name again…

I tried copying the contents of the file, but that did not work!

Oh, and now that I switched the code, neither of them work, permalinks no longer work for any of the code variations above…???

This is strange!

Thanks for the suggestion, but no luck! When I added what you sent me this is what I get when I go to my site…

<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

So then I removed the portion below, and the site comes back up, but permalinks don’t work.

AddHandler phpini-cgi .php
Action phpini-cgi /cgi-bin/php5-custom-ini.cgi

I know they support Multisite because I have 3 other Multisite systems setup on the same server.

Back to the drawing board. ?? I will try calling them again, but they are becoming a pain to deal with.

Ok, so I put the following code into my .htaccess file as instructed when I installed Multisite, which did not work…

# BEGIN WordPress

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]

# END WordPress

My hosting provider changed the code to what is below and now it works fine…?

AddHandler phpini-cgi .php
Action phpini-cgi /cgi-bin/php5-custom-ini.cgi

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Isn’t that the code for a single WP install? Why is that working and not the batch for the multisite install?
