I have a .htaccess file and inserted the code. Everything looks good and I created a second site (sub-directory) I used a bear bones theme and wanted to change the theme, but now when I attempt to go to site/wp-admin/ I get:
This webpage has a redirect loop
It has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

I did not do anything further at this point.

just checking after a 18 hour shift at the day job and back in again Saturday…I suppose first I need to see if I can locate hidden files. I will not have a chance until Sunday to do anything with a clear head. I know enough to be dangerous in this sort of thing. I will need to explore the FTP options on my hosting account. Where would a .htaccess file go ?

All is good on getting on Symposium site. Now I need to go back to the website and hope that Symposium plays well with Suffusion. Thanks

Thanks so much,I will probably have time to work at it this weekend. Actually going in to a meeting with project people now. Talk to you later,thanks,RickO

I need to revisit some of the godaddy hosting options. When I created “family of sites” subdomains originally, each got set up with there own wordpress installation. My quick thought is that they need to run off the same wordpress install. I think I need to look at how to do that properly. What you are suggesting is to delete all sites except for the dot org
mother site. Deactivate multisite and delete all related files. I do not have a problem with that, I believe I mentioned that before. What I need to be certain of is the process of creating the subdomain of the sites I want to recreate and how to point them to a single wordpress install. I am guessing that is how you carry the same theme and basic site layout throughout. For these sites I want to continue to use suffusion theme. I hope you do not mind me kind of rambling on here a bit But I still have a lot that I want to learn and I appreciate your lending an ear.

Thanks for the advice Mika. That prompts two more questions. Your thoughts on sub-domains or sub-directories. Do you have a suggestion in that regard? I host through GoDaddy. My hosting account allows for unlimited subdomains. Your opinion on site wizard I believe it is called. I played with it but did not take it too far. All these issues are not a big deal, even though users set up last time I looked about 500 sites. The only sites I am concerned with right now are the “family of sites” and those are easily recreated. After you read and comment on this I probably will have another question or two or three. Thanks again,RickO

Mika, I am. Currently working my day job,I guess you can tell by how I am hacking my way around the wordpress world. I really need to check on that multi-site thing since I am sitting here at work remembering that I activated multi-site, telling me that it was a plugin. As I said earlier I believe it was a plugin wordpress “took away” recently. I would like to remain in contact as my site evolves. I can only go so far as to say that there are other people involved in this project and I know for sure the network is not set up properly. That being said should I keep the status of this topic open?

Thanks Mika,I am certain I can handle that code insertion. I do have another question. As I said the dot org site is basically in a embryonic state and I was not too concerned with some issues I noticed. The fact that users would register at the dot org home domain and have to register independently to access the ancillary sites. The end game would be for a single registered user name and password and not have to log on to each individual site. I was not sure if that would have been related to sites being sub domains as opposed to directories or if it was one of the inherent issues the multi-site plugin was plagued with.
