i finally went the long way, adding a database and exporting/importing the site with All-in-one WP migration.it worked.

thanks again for your help.

well, now you know what the prefix is. but the duplicate config file pointed to the original site options field, with the corresponding url’s. i don’t see how that could work.

like i said earlier, if i switch the url fields, both site urls (municpales2020.cruis-citoyen.fr and cruis-citoyen.fr) point to municpales2020.cruis-citoyen.fr.

it seems to me that the prefix in the config file of the duplicate should point to the options table containing the municpales2020.cruis-citoyen.fr url’s. but it still does not work.

thanks for sticking with me Davood.

the captures i sent you are for tables wor4550_options and wor4550_3_options, and i think the latter is for the second site location i’m trying to set up. apparently, the siteurl and home fields are not enough to implement this relocation.

in the config file the prefix is set to wp_4550_. i tried editing the config file of the site duplicate, in the subdomain folder, to wp_4550_3_. i get security errors, and when i find my way around that nothing shows up.

i’m beginning to think i should start all over again –?put away the duplicate in case i need it, remove the multisite options in config and htaccess, and pick it up from there.

i may have to buy the option of a second database. it would be simpler than try to handle this as a multisite, no? what do you think?

cheers.

hi.

here are the 2 tables :

wor4450_3_options : https://pasteboard.co/J0fp1Nm.png
wor4450_options : https://pasteboard.co/J0fpLU9.png

thanks for the reply.

yes, i had tried brute force by copying the site in the subdomain directory, to no avail. so i just moved it to a backup directory on the spot.

following your advice, i have bumped it up again at the root of the subdomain and went looking for the relevant table with mysql. i found 2 : ‘wor4450_3_options’ and ‘wor4450_options’, one with the home and siteurl fields to the original URL, one with the new.

i tried inverting that and then all accesses went the new one. through the admin dash board and different settings, nothing i could do changed that. so i tried to revert everything to how it was before.

now if i try to access the admin of municipales.cruis-citoyen.fr i don’t have the “not found” error, but i end up on the cruis-citoyen.fr admin.

since i want 2 independent sites, this is not working.

i am aware that i may have confused WP-admin with my tweaking. my initial problem is that i cannot use 2 databases on this server, so i can’t just have 2 really independent sites… that’s why i tried multisite.

thanks. will try. was hoping i wasn’t the only one…

thanks for having looked into it.

i’ve narrowed it down to this: each time i update the content of a page or article, all the included pictures (not the videos) are duplicated.

maybe a bug in the Semplicemente theme?

yep – user error ruled out.

Featured Images ? well, my theme, Simplicimente, uses featured images for articles. and i haven’t updated it for a while since even with child inheritance i had to modify some of the original files to get the results i wanted.

maybe it finds itself out of step with the recent WP updates?

this is the site : https://www.pierrelavoie.fr

thanks for your interest, Jason.

by duplicating i mean exactly your second hypothesis: multiple images with, when i look at the file, a series of “1-1-1-1-1” appended to the name.

it seems that the actual image files are not concerned – it’s just started to do that sometime between November 14 December 18, and keeps doing it despite my repeated deletions… yesterday i suppressed all irrelevant pictures and now i’m up to 63 self generated clones covering 4 original pictures. pictures previous to December are not subject to this proliferation.

any idea what’s at work here?

thanks for the info – the export code patch works fine.

however i don’t understand that privacy issue. tracking an IP through a site would be very useful to identify navigation patterns, and also to understand the behaviour of bullies looking for security gaps.

cheers.

thanx.
