Awesome, thanks!

Hi Dennis

Just wanted to give a +1 for the autocomplete solution (if you need someone to beta test it on a production site I’d be happy too)

I’ve tried lots of different approaches to multilingual sites and I probably enjoy yours the most so thanks for all the work so far

Nick

First of all I love this plugin (big thanks to Nick) but I just wanted to report the same thing which I noticed this morning in case it helps solve the issue

To be clear what’s happening for me is I am trying to select a Page or a Custom Post Type from the Post Type: dropdown in a widget (this is with existing widgets and new ones)

I am also running WP 3.5.1 and Genesis 1.9.1

Thanks Submerged, appreciate the answer, I’ll give it a go

Hi airfoil, you could try the DeployMint plugin, I haven’t got round to using it myself yet but I heard about it a while ago and it sounds like it might cater for what you’re trying to do:

Hey Adam

I just went to the Plugins menu, deactivated W3 Total Cache and then removed it, hope that makes sense? Let me know if not.

I also uninstalled another W3 related plugin Admin Flush W3TC Cache, I don’t know if that had any effect but just to mention it as it may help you

I realise everyone’s set up is different so what worked for me might not work for you but hope it’s some help, I feel your frustration!

Cheers

Nick

I’ve tried everything but in the end (for the moment at least) the only thing that fixed it, was not just deactivating but uninstalling and reinstalling W3 Total Cache

Simple but seems to be OK for now (touch wood)

Hope it helps someone

Hi adamf/LucyRyder, having exactly the same issue here, everything working fine (with CDN/Cloudflare, then today hit the same problems) just wanted to subscribe in case of any useful follow-up posts

If I find a solution in the meantime I’ll post it

Thank Andrew, I meant to thank you for your suggestion too!

The reason why I did it in the DB in the end was I was worried about losing any changes in that file in later WP upgrades, though now I think about it I’m not sure it would’ve been affected anyway

To give an update: I’ve only seen one ‘ill effect’ since changing the DB and that is using the BackUp Buddy plugin, it no longer appears to backup successfully when requesting a new backup, however afterwards when you check it seems to have apparently backed up fine, so hopefully – and by the sounds of it – it is only a cosmetic issue rather than anything actually breaking (and therefore can be lived with).

I have to say my first choice for all of this would’ve been something in .htaccess as I feel that would still be ‘cleaner’ than editing the DB or files but as I mentioned I could not get this to work in multisite sadly. Despite trying many different approaches the best I could do was the dreaded infinite redirect loop.

Hopefully this all helps someone else who may face the same choices later on

Cheers

Nick

Hi guys

This is what I did and it seems to work, my only worry is I’m storing up some pain for later in that I might be potentially affecting some else that I’m not aware of (yet)

1) Logged into phpMyAdmin and selected the database.
2) Changed the site_url and home settings in the wp_options table from “example.com” to “www.example.com”.

Hope that helps someone but as I say maybe it is not the correct way

Hi guys

re: not being able to map to site ID #1

I take it this plugin wouldn’t work then if I am trying to redirect all non-www traffic from the main domain on a multisite setup, eg example.com to https://www.example.com then?

I set up the multisite install with the cleaner example.com so I could get the nicer site1.example.com and site2.example.com sub-site URLs (rather than site1.www.example.com) however I now only want to use https://www.example.com for the main URL

I have installed the plugin and tried Andrew’s table hack but that didn’t fix it and also spent (several hours) trying .htaccess hacks (all ended in infinite redirect loops) as well.

This might not sound like a big deal (and normally I wouldn’t be bothered) but I really need it for this site. I just want example.com/whatever to always redirect to https://www.example.com/whatever (without affecting the sub-sites) but I just can’t do it ??

Really appreciate any help if any there are any other things I could try (though I am close to giving up!)

Thanks as always

Nick

+1 from me too, this would be a great feature

Hi Dan, no problem, appreciate your help anyway, cheers, Nick

Hi Dan

I was looking for something that would allow a user to change to a different template AFTER creating their site (and choosing a different template)

If this is what you were able to do (assuming I have understood correctly) would you be able to share how you did it?

Many thanks

Nick

Hey Jason, thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated anyway, Nick
