The styling suddenly worked out of the blue! ??

However, a problem still remains. I have given the following arguments in the wp_list_categories function.

<?php wp_list_categories('show_option_all=All&hide_empty=0&title_li=&current_category=All'); ?>

I want the ‘All’ option to be visible in any category listing. However, since by default, all posts load, the styling for current_category should also apply to ‘All’. However, since All does not have a category ID, I do not know how to apply the current-cat class to ‘All’.

Any suggestions?

Hi tigtog,
Thanks for your reply!

What I have done to get part of the intended result was this:

<ul>
  <?php wp_list_categories('show_option_all=All&hide_empty=0&title_li='); ?>
</ul>

The problem still remains of the current category class activation in CSS. The current_category argument only explicitly adds the category ID.

I am unable to frame a condition that: if the page loaded is the archive of a particular category, then current-cat CSS class for that category should be activated.

Any tips? Thanks!

Where do I change that? I tried to find the home string in the Twenty Eleven template files, couldn’t find anything that I could change (rather I don’t know if I could change those). The current template for which I’m using doesn’t even have the ‘Home’ in the navigation menu ??

In Settings > Reading, opt to see a Static page as your home page and choose the page that you want. Below that, your blog page can be chosen as the home page.

Quite amazing Ipstenu. Your solution worked! Again! Thanks a million!

Must I set this to All in my httpd.conf?

# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be “All”, “None”, or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride None

In other places in httpd.conf, I found these:

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

<Directory “D:/ganeshv/Apache2.2/cgi-bin”>
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

I had copied whatever WordPress gave me at the start of the multisite installation. This is the current content for .htaccess

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]

What changes must I make?

I tried the ‘month and name’ permalink. No change. Still 404 not found. How do I solve my .htaccess issue/conf issue?

The default permalinks seems to solve the problem but any other permalink means a definite 404 not found page for anything other than the home page.

Actually, now the situation is that any static page I make shows a 404 error. Any new blog I view shows a 404 error. I’m quite certain that these pages exist ??

For now, only my home page loads.

It worked! I had to remove the folders that I had made ignorantly. Thanks a ton!

OK, this is silly. But I deleted the hosts file and then made a new one using Notepad. AND IT WORKED! WHEW!

Using Apache 2.2.19, but I added this line too. No luck ??

OK, so finally going for subdomains on localhost.

Trouble is that I’m getting stuck.

I added 127.0.1.1 local.loc in my hosts file along with its subdomains. I installed Apache with this address.

When I type 127.0.1.1 in my browser, I get the ‘It works’ message. But it tries to look for the address ‘local.loc’ on the internet, which then fails.

I changed my httpd-vhosts.conf file also to include:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email address]
DocumentRoot “../htdocs/local”
ServerName local.loc
ServerAlias local.loc
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.html index.htm index.shtml
</VirtualHost>

Also did this for its subdomains.

Any suggestions?

I don’t think I’ve still got it.

So I’ve made the following changes:

Changed hosts file to read:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.corn

But does this mean that I have to install wordpress all over again? To point the new database towards this address?

How about this as an alternative? I use sub-folders and use the word ‘blogs’ instead of ‘blog’ but while transferring the site to a web host, I use subdomains where I get to use ‘blog’ again. Would this work?

1. So I should change the site1.localhost to localhost.site1 in the hosts file? And so on?

2. I assume I must also repeat those changes in the conf file?

Alright, this could be a long day. :/

I allowed sub-domains on my host and pointed them towards individual directories in my wordpress folder. (“../htdocs/wordpress/part1” etc.)

However, I’m clueless about installing Wildcard subdomains on my localhost. I added a line ServerAlias part1.localhost under ServerName localhost in each of the individual setups.

After activating multisite in wp-config, I’m getting this message:

Because you are using localhost, the sites in your WordPress network must use sub-directories. Consider using localhost.localdomain if you wish to use sub-domains.

Any suggestions? Thanks again Ipstenu!
