Thank you kindly for the explanation … I can see part of what you mean, but now I KNOW I need to study more about htaccess. Thanks again.

I had looked, but didn’t know which code indicated subfolder vs subdomain … guess I need to study up some more on htaccess ??

Also didn’t know I had upgraded from WPMU to Multisite. I just did the noob move of punching the automatic upgrade button every time it appeared.

Thanks for the revised htaccess. Everything is functioning again, but as I was removing plugins at the same time, I am not sure which action resulted in success (or which combo). Guess I should have paid better attention, so someone else in the future might avoid the same.

As I am not that well versed in htaccess coding, which aspect was pointing to subfolder in lieu of subdomain ? Other than the rewrite for the cpanel which I pasted in, everything else in the htaccess was generated automatically by WP

Here it is …

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /sd_(.+)\ HTTP/1.1
RewriteRule ^sd_([^/]+)/(.*)$ https://$1.mydomain.com/$2 [R=301,L]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^cpanel.mydomain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cpanel/
RewriteRule (.*) /cpanel/$1 [L]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule  ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

… and no mydomain.com is not in the file, it lists my actual domain name. I know it is probably silly to hide the name since I mentioned it previously … old habits I guess ??

Same results with twentyten. Actually tried several different themes just in case.

Thanks, that took care of the 404 errors, but didn’t seem to effect the original issue. Was anything else mucked up ?

The Permalink idea didn’t change anything. And there are no plugins on the test blog that aren’t on every working blog, mostly things like anti-spam, category cloud widget, etc (and turning them off would effect all of the working blogs as they are network wide).

I checked the database and the posts are recorded there, with their permalink url, post, title, etc. So it is recording them, just not displaying them.

Checking my error log I see some 404 errors for a file called: ../wp-content/ms-files.php when I tried to view the pages. But I don’t see a ms-files.php file in my web directory nor in an install zip for wp.

The latest update seems to have eliminated the issue. Thank you Magnus.

It is being done in the page through the editor. Each page needs different cities, so it can’t be part of the sidebar or template.

Unfortunately it is an employee only website, that we prefer to keep off the spiders radar.

The sidebar approach doesn’t really work for our usage, as we want the weather info to match the city that is written up on each page. And since they all share the same template/sidebar, we need to place it within the page copy and hopefully in a place that is consistent with the flow of the copy on the page. But thanks for your suggestion.

Finally resolved this by combining techniques listed in several different posts.

First the column copy must start immediately after the shortcode for the column, with no blank space.

There needs to be a space after the copy and the end column shortcode, I dropped it down one line for ease of spotting it later. But the start of the second column needs to be on the same line as the end column with one space between the two and no space between the start column and the 2nd column copy.

[column width="47%" padding="6%"]Copy starts right away, no gap.  At the end of the column copy skip to next line.
[/column] [column width="47%" padding="0"]Column 2 starts right away, no gap, etc. Skip to next line as above.
[/column] [end_columns]

Has anyone been able to get this to work with AutoFocus ? I have tried the above suggestions to no avail with this theme. The theme was used for a photoblog from a bike tour and now that the tour is over, it would be nice to display posts from the beginning so folks can follow the trip in order, not backwards.
