  • I’m having the exact some problem as VFHwebdev.

    Yes and no. I’ve just recently gotten our campus IT department to admit that we are on an old server that is about to be decommissioned. So we’re working on moving onto another server. Realistically, that’s probably where most of our problems were coming from.

    However, I DID notice that our multisite configuration in WP-CONFIG was misspelled… and fixing the misspelling actually caused the entire site to break. I didn’t set this WordPress install up, so now my plan now is to create a new WordPress install on the new server and move the content over to the new site and new install.

    I’m not sure why the misspelled config option doesn’t really seem to matter. I’m REALLY not sure why correcting the misspelling breaks all of our sites. Regardless, it appears that our problem was mostly related to being on a terrible server. Combined with a new install, I truly think our problem will disappear. It definitely doesn’t appear to be a mapping issue, in any case.

    I’m going to close this topic, because even if we continue to have problems after the new install and server move, it definitely won’t be mapping issues for multisite at that point. Good luck to anyone else. Look for misspellings!

    Your code is just a little bit off. 

    <?php if( is_front_page() ) { ?>
<div id="breadcrumbs"><p><a href="https://flooringlifemagazine.com">Home</a>
</p></div>
<?php }  ?>

    The reason your first example didn’t work is because there was no closing bracket for the IF statement. Also, I wouldn’t recommend using ECHO in this case. Just include the html between the PHP, as I have above.

    Are you using the same theme for every site? In either case it shouldn’t matter with the code above as it checks to make sure that you’re on the correct site (thus the $blog_id bit).

    The reason I asked about whether you’ll be exporting your entire site for a client or just the subdomain has to do with that bit. That’ll change if you export just the subdomain but won’t change if you export the entire site.

    Also, I generally don’t advise editing files within WordPress like that. Use an FTP client and download some sort of editor. I really like Komodo Edit. Much easier to edit code in that. An FTP client also makes it WAY easier to understand file structure.

    So two questions for you.

    1) Sharing the same theme for every domain or are they different?
    2) Will you be exporting the entire site or just the one subdomain?

    Corey,

    The hook was the code that I posted above. As I said, you’d need to go into your template files and find the area where the breadcrumbs appear. I don’t know what the code looks like, so I can’t tell you exactly what it would need to be changed to, but you can definitely manually do this.

    Breadcrumbs is arbitrary. You’re worrying too much about that specific term. The code I posted above could be used for anything. Say if you wanted to post some text in the footer but only on the frontpage and on your subdomain.

    Question: Will you be exporting the entire WordPress multisite for a client or just the subdomain?

    Nope. That option doesn’t exist in default WordPress. It probably has to do with a plugin that came with your theme/framework.

    Again, this is definitely a template issue. Headway essentially contains some version of the code that I posted above, only it probably doesn’t have that option built-in for the homepage. It probably has a plugin that displays the option for breadcrumbs on each post, but again this is not a native WP thing.

    Other than finding and editing that code yourself, your best bet is to contact the folks over at Headway or ask in their forums.

    Hi James,

    I notice your site is still messed up, but now it’s black. Were you able to attempt to repair your database? Any updates? I’d like to help get you back on track!

    So taking a look, it’s definitely different in each browser.

    This is absolutely an issue with the theme framework you’re using. You can tell because the <body> tag is different in each.

    For Firefox <body class=”home blog gecko”>
    For Chrome <body class=”home blog chrome”>

    That’s fine… as long as it works. Obviously it’s not in this case. Take a look at your CSS files and see if you can tweak any of the “chrome” settings (likely another version for “safari,” too).

    Then take a look at your framework settings too.

    You have a “Coming Soon” page and it is not viewable.

    Jennifer,

    In the future, please start a new post as your issue really isn’t the same as James’s. That said, this is definitely not a GoDaddy issue in either case. The issue is that you edited the function.php code incorrectly. Find a backup of the file and re-upload it. If you don’t have a backup, simply re-download WordPress and find the file in the download and re-upload that single file to the appropriate place.

    Which makes me think this is actually a THEME problem. The theme itself should be edited to show breadcrumbs, but you may have to ask Headway how to do that.

    Exactly. You need to edit the theme (or have someone do it for you) as it was probably designed this way intentionally. The code I provided above would be something that you could replace on the current theme, probably in something like body.php or page.php (or maybe header.php, depending on how the theme was set up) wherever the breadcrumbs code currently is.

    If you’re using a separate theme than the one from your main domain, you shouldn’t need to worry about the code above even, you’d probably just need to remove some code so that the breadcrumbs display on every page.

    You can edit your themes in wp-content/themes.

    If you can’t find it, this might need to be moved to a theme/design forum because that’s clearly the issue.

    Okay, looks like you’ll probably need to do a database repair. Reading your blog I saw that you’re using GoDaddy, so you need to log in there and navigate over to phpmyadmin.

    Here are some instructions once you get there:

    Do the repair and let me know if that solves your issue.

    Sorry, I should say make sure that the Foursquare folder WITHIN the plugins folder is deleted.

    In reply to: White and Plain?

    Make sure that all the files have been deleted from the plugins folder. I noticed that this is a pretty new plugin, and it’s possible that the author doesn’t QUITE know what he’s doing yet.

    Was your site broken while the plugin was installed, or only after you uninstalled it?

    Did you deactivate the plugin first or did you just delete it? What was the plugin?
