Thanks for posting this solution, it worked just fine!

Sorry for the late reply, I was away a few days and only just got a chance to try it out.

There used to be a setting to do that (pre-3.5). I installed the main site back then, without the multi-site, and added the multi-site later.

I wasn’t planning on using domain mapping. When I wrote about the site not showing I meant that I can’t point people here at at it since it’s all password-protected and you wouldn’t be able to see the problem anyway. There is live content on the main site. I’m setting up the sub-directory sites now and everything works except for the images. I’d rather avoid having to move all the images already on the main site (in the /images folder) just to enable images in the sub-directory sites.

The domain mapping stuff looks handy though, so thanks for pointing that possibility out. I may end up using it for other sites, but it isn’t necessary for this one.

I found the answer – it turns out that although one of the packages reinstalled with all the PHP4 and GD upgrades was apache, and apache was restarted during the upgrade process, I needed to restart it one more time to get the GD library to “take”.

Yes, I searched first. And read the threads. And tried the suggestions (except for upgrading to PHP5, which I don’t want to do). Nothing worked, so any ideas would be welcome.

Found the answer – although I have no idea why the problem only affected one person, or conversely, why it affected him at all. But, just in case someone else has the same weird problem…
In the httpd.conf file there was a line that was commented out that loaded the PHP module (LoadModule….) . I uncommented the line, restarted apache, and voila, it works.
Thanks to everyone who confirmed it wasn’t a widespread problem. I was imagining lots of people put off but not reporting it.

ah, the wonders of automatic formatting ?? must remember to put spaces after URIs in the future…

I’ve had people test on FireFox, Opera, Mozilla, Safari, IE (no particular order) on Mac, Windows, Linux. He’s the only one who’s complained of this, so I don’t think it’s a browser thing.

That was just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Neither of the suggestions worked, unfortunately. I got nothing at all where the (more…) had been before.
Beel, the title is already known at that stage; if you look in index.php you can see that the the_title() function is used a couple of times before the the_content() function is called.
I’ll try a few more things out and post if I come up with something.

How do I change the (more…) to be the title of the blog entry it’s pointing to? I tried fiddling with the
<?php the_content() ?>
but couldn’t get it to work – has anyone else got this to work?
