i-createweb

You know, this was my bad. I really should have tried it in Chrome before I asked this question. I used Chrome, and it worked!

And it worked on more than just one site, I have looked on another site where I was having the same problem and the theme options are visible on that site as well using Chrome.

I feel foolish, but maybe this will help someone else in the future.

Thanks for this…

I think I might have fixed it, fingers crossed… i am testing now.

That nginx tip did it, thanks so much folks. I would have been completely lost without you. I would have never found that problem without help. Never.

I created database manually in plesk, upload wordpress files manually to my server, created my own config.php.

I contacted mt and they said that both apache and nginx are on my server and both are running, they asked if i wanted to turn one off.

I tried to create a wild card subdomain in Plesk and after that i started to get error messages. But they went away after i deleted the wild card subdomain.

——————————–

Unable to generate the web server configuration file on the host <gz7v-jqnp.accessdomain.com> because of the following errors:

nginx: [emerg] a duplicate default server for 70.32.108.122:80 in /var/www/vhosts/i-cweb.com/conf/14157403510.04310300_nginx.conf:9
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Please resolve the errors in web server configuration templates and generate the file again.

Sorry for the confusion. I have deleted the theme attitude.

This is a mapping issue, this file was uploaded to this directory, I see it on the sever through ftp, but I get a 404.

I cannot see this image in the media manager or the site, thought it did upload – https://www.thoughtsfloatdown.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/ethiopianmonk711.jpg

Marc, it’s on a DV at Media Temple. They said I should be able to do this when I chatted with them, though they will not help me with it.

I am sorry, that 500 is not the problem. I am working on it and that just happened because of a change i did in between the time I posted and when you looked at it.

I purchased your book, Mika, and I found the line about the httpd.conf file doesn’t have AllowOverride set to All or Options All. I hired a programmer and had them change that for me, restarted the server, but it still does not work.

I can use the stock wordpress themes and it seems to access the css and iamges, but I cannot upload images or use any but the themes that come with wordpress.

Here is the subsite with twentyfourteen enabled – https://www.thoughtsfloatdown.org

I used paths/subfolders and CNAME with the mapping plugin. Have https://www.thoughtsfloatdown.org cname pointed at my base domain – i-cweb.com using Godaddy dns, have thoughtsfloatdown.org forwarded to https://www.thoughtsfloatdown.org. I do not have that domain anywhere in plesk. I had created a domain alias for it, but deleted it.

Going insane…

Thanks for the time,
Denise

This is maddening. I have totally reinstalled wordpress, resetup multisite, reinstalled mu domain mapping and this time I set it up to use subdirectories instead of subdomains. I used cname to direct to my main domain name i-cweb.com.

Now I see the stock wordpress themes in the mapped domain – https://www.thoughtsfloatdown.org, but I cannot add any other theme to the mapped domain. It is there, but looks blank and all the links to files like css are 404.

What am I doing wrong?

I used the plugin WordPress MU Domain Mapping. Was that a mistake?

I’ve done a lot of work trying to fix this since i posted… i have changed from IP’s to CNAME and deleted most of the non standard wordpress templates. I uploaded a fresh one on this website but the same thing is happening even now –

https://www.thoughtsfloatdown.org

The wordpress templates all work fine. i even deleted one and reuploaded it to see if that was the problem and it was not. here is twentyfourteen on another of the multisite sites –

https://www.demonsinus.com

This is my .htaccess file —

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]

Thanks for the help,

I have, I am just sitting here trying to figure out why I can access this css file in twenty fourteen, thirteen, and twelve…

<link rel='stylesheet' id='twentythirteen-style-css' href='https://www.thoughtsfloatdown.org/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/style.css?ver=2013-07-18' type='text/css' media='all' />

and not any other css file in another theme like this one –

<link rel='stylesheet' id='attitude_style-css' href='https://www.thoughtsfloatdown.org/wp-content/themes/attitude/style.css?ver=4.0' type='text/css' media='all' />

I am thinking this is a dns issue somehow and deleting all the themes, which i have setup on the base site, would not help though cause me a lot of work to try.

Why does it see the css file in the wordpress theme but the others is a 404 not found.

I am using the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin with subdomains and i used the A name, which i am reconsidering. i think i have missed something in the dns setup. i created subdomains for the multisite sites and created the subdomains in godaddy interface.
