Another issue I’m missing:
tag a post for not being cut on preview.
That could be useful for pinned postings.

Seriously, I would suggest that the developers of wordpress, rather than just relentlessly pushing forward actually take some time out and actually consider the product as a whole, rather than working on bits and pieces.

Make sure the foundation of the house of wordpress is as good as the shiny layers of paint you keep slapping on willy nilly.

+1

Total overhaul of multisite to better incorporate it into WordPress.

That would be great!

I’m pretty new to wp – and multisite installation and administration costs lots of time and enthusiasm.
The default for permalinks was wrong, so it did not work on virtual servers. I spent lot of time to find that error.

Then I think there are 2 different multisite usecases:
– each multisite is a different blog unrelated to the other sites
– all multisites together build a single website. Multisite is just used to separate content.

I use the latter and its quite tedious to do the basic configuration for each new site. All should use the same theme, same color settings, same widgets and layout options …
It would be very handy to be able to clone a site.
Additionally there’s no reason to have to upload i.e. the header image for each site. All could share the same optionally.

Another improvement would be the integration of all pages in the dropdown-selections, so crosslinking would be easy and seemless to multisites.

I finally was able to setup a multisite installation in my local network.
So I found out, that it’s not my fault and its not a wp-issue either.
Its all a question of “AllowOverwrite”-Settings in httpd.conf

I sent a support request to my provider.

Thanks for your attention.

Sorry, I was wrong. I did not check 1 and 2 before posting here.
I did it after your suggestions.

I was on vacation. If you need NOW help, you need to hire someone.

Sorry, you got me wrong.

I didn’t ask you to solve my problem. I just wanted to know, whether it is a wp-issue or my fault.
Additionally I thought, you might have stopped your support based an my reply to server setup.

That’s right, but the issue is how it handles the non-extant ones. Personally I find making wildcards easier.

Sure! The point is, I don’t own a root server. So I have to use the setup possibilities my provider offers.

I will ask for wildcard domains.

And part of why this matters is that you’re having the server parse things in a way that isn’t friendly to WP, so it’s possible your httpd.conf isn’t handling everything properly.

Ok, that may be true. Any hint, how I could get rid of it?
I don’t have access to httpd.conf

But hey, I could be wrong, so let’s go back to ABSOLUTE basics.

Well, points 1 and 2 I already checked before posting here.
Point 3 – I don’t know, how to check or change.

sorry for insisting!

Could you please gimme a note, whether this behaviour is a wp issue or my fault?

As simulating multisite installation in local network is not that easy – is there a way to log sql-statements?
If I see, what’s going on, may be I could fix it by myself …

I think part of the issue is how your server is set to handle subdomains. It’s parsing things weirdly.

I don’t agree.

To me (as a user), the behaviour looks fine or at least it is acceptable.
I don’t want others to be able to create subdomains.

So to setup a new subdomain, I have to change server configuration and wait for nameserver updates. Then I can create a new site in WP.
It could be easier, but for my opinion, there’s no need for that.

… but, if category- or tag-cloud-links need a special subdomain, I’m willing to create that. No problem. But I found no information on that.
My .htaccess is the recommended one from multisite-support:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

There’s no URL in your profile

Well, the url was in field “Blog 1 Address”
Now it is in field “Website” too.

Main-menu switches between sites/subdomains.

I dont know what that means.

Ok, when you look at www.remarpro.com, the main menu has the entries

• Showcase
• Themes
• Plugins
• Mobile
• Support
• Get Involved
• About
• Blog
• Hosting

So on my site, each main menu entry refers to a different subdomain, or virtual blog, unrelated to the rest.

Hope you can find the url now – then you can see, what I mean.

I get why you’re thinking that

Well, not only for having tried 2 different themes.

I use subdomains for multisite and all subdomains point to the documentroot of the main domain. I disabled all content existing before migration to multisite installation. So every active content has been created from scratch. Same is true for categories and tags.

I admit, that it may be my fault, but as I use wp as is …

I have no idea, what I could have done better.

Can you share your site URL?

U can find an url in my profile.
The site is german – I hope, u don’t mind.
Main-menu switches between sites/subdomains.

Thanks for your attention!

Sorry, could have done that by myself ??

Ok, changed the theme, and yes – its an wp issue.

All links from category widget result in “nothing found”.
Same is true for the links from tag-cloud widget.

Links from archive- and “most recent post”-widget work fine.
