Hi, Clayton. Thank you for the pointers.
I found the problem in my installation.
I follow many different guides.
But reading from here [1], I deduce to only add this directive: server-id = 1, to my.cnf. Previously, I have --binlog-format=row, too, in my.cnf.
In the link here [2] there is this statement: “Personally, I would switch binary-format to STATEMENT” which then followed to this link, [3] and below the table possible value, there is this sentence, “Statement-based is the default in MySQL 5.5.”
This causes me to check the my.cnf again. I removed that directive, so that mariadb reverts to its default setting.
I set up replication, empty database. Reinitialize WordPress. Got the initialization to the other side. I then create a blogpost, and it doth appear on the slave server (I create another WP installation with wp-config.php already set).
Thank you very much for the pointers, Clayton.
