In reply to: Changing Website ManagersIf your company paid for the design work by the third party then your company SHOULD own any rights to them.
You need to make sure that the hosting, domain name and any premium software licenses are in your companies name.
After that you could drop the third party. But keep in mind WordPress cannot just be left alone, it needs at minimum core and plugin updates performed on it regularly. If you just leave it alone and don’t update it then likely one day you’ll return to the website to find it hacked.
Also don’t forget to check for any extra WordPress admin users, update all of your passwords etc to lock things down. I’d personally make offline backups

In reply to: How to eliminate subdomains from a multiblog uninstall?It looks like you may have already fixed this.
If you’ve still got issues with it you likely need to setup a 301 redirect using .htaccess
Here’s a guide on how to set them up.

You can use something along the lines of:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^marketing-tips\.e-worldreview\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://w-worldreview.com/$1 [L,R=301]

In reply to: 404 error but the page is displayedIs it possible that res.php is called twice in your code and or is trying to be included twice, once with a wrong path?
That would be my best guess without actually being able to directly load it and see what’s going on.

In reply to: Website content in sub-foldersHi James,
So the big question is how much content is in these subfolders?
The simplest solution would be to use categories. Your category would replace your subfolder and then each post would be the content/page name.
Alternatively you could use something such as a 301/302 redirect to redirect traffic from your old content page URL to the new one, so you won’t lose any traffic and eventually with a 301 permanent redirect your google indexes will update.

In reply to: PHP Max Input Vars 3000 Minimum 5000 is requiredThis depends on your hosting provider.
You may be able to place the following line in a file named php.ini
max_input_vars = 5000
depending on your PHP setup this may or may not work. Place the php.ini file in your accounts document root.
In general this is a setting in PHP on how many input variables can be passed with PHP during a single process.
Alternatively you may be able to reach out to your hosting provider and get them to raise the limit.

In reply to: Site down, unsure whyI would reach out to your hosting provider. Your webserver isn’t responding on port 80 or port 443 for meganmoon.dance or the IP 178.33.235.187
Shouldn’t be anything you did unless you have a Cloud/VPS and have full control over things where you may have broken apache.

In reply to: Convert site from sub-domain to add-on domain?If you are simply changing the domain name associated with it, leave the subdomain and file structure as-is, and add the add-on domain ontop of it. When creating an add-on domain in cPanel you can point it to the same document root as the subdomain.
So if it’s set to /home/user/public_html/subname/ , make sure the add-on domain points there as well. Once that’s done you’ll need to edit the domain in the wordpress settings to erase any mention of the subname and change it to your new add-on.com domain.

In reply to: Error on every page after updating Event Calendar plug-inHi Bill,
A bit of digging and I found this referenced hotfix for the issue. It appears you are running PHP 5.5 or earlier (which is really old and should be updated).
Here’s the posted fix for your issue:
https://theeventscalendar.com/announcing-events-calendar-4-6-14-1/If you update to the next version past this it should correct the issue, you may have to manually update the plugin which you can find instructions on how to do here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/manual-updates/
In my opinion I wouldn’t be as concerned with monitoring each individual multi-site as I would a select few to ensure all the back-end services are running.
Keep in mind that each of these are going to share a lot of the basic core features. Each will operate using the same webserver (apache, nginx, litespeed etc), the MySQL database server, often times the same DNS server as well.
Now it’s still possible for a MU to break due to a localized error in a table specifically for that instance, but this is much less likely than a problem that is impacting all of the instances. We’ve had users report good luck with Pingdom, as well as uptime robot and hyperspin as well. I wouldn’t get overly zealous with monitoring as it can also trigger firewall blocks for too many connections but pick 2-3 of your top instances that “have” to work, monitor those and then understand that likely if one is down they are all down.

In reply to: Multi-site Issues With HostGator “site can’t be reached”Looking at the URL you’ve posted it appears to be loading for me at the moment.
Are you still having issues accessing the page? Generally speaking “this site can’t be reached” is going to indicate a DNS error where your local DNS servers, be it cache or ISP etc don’t have the IP address that the subdomain should be pointing to.
