still giving

I can only say, I am feeling the same pain …

To add, when I look at Update Network

I get the error:

Warning! Problem updating . Your server may not be able to connect to sites running on it. Error message: A valid URL was not provided.

I don’t know if this is a clue … somewhere in the box, an incorrect URL has been added?

Where does WP-MS actually keep a record of the ID number? I delete test blogs but the ID number keeps rising.

Thanks

I noted with our hosts that they do not give permission to the database users to ‘Execute’.

‘Create’ is fine.

I have no idea why, techs are pretty hopeless.

BUT … I made a new database and it is functional, I can create new sub-domain blogs, so that removes problems with the actually server.

I am coming against this same error/bug/whatever too.

New sub-domain blogs appear in Network Admin but not in the database or blogs.dir.

What I find strange is the link to ‘Visit’ the failed blog in Network Admin > Sites > Sites is https://example.com/wp-admin/network/sites.php not https://blog2.example.com/ as should be.

Scouring the web, it seems this comes up often. WP-MS really should kick out some kind of error when it comes across this.

Thanks

Interesting … I have encountered the same problem where our host moved our domain from one server to another.

It is true, the second server was still set to the server default latin1_swedish (…why do admins leave it like that!?!) but after changing all tables, it will still not make new blogs.

What I notice is, that when I go to Network Admin > Sites > Sites and rollover the link to ‘Visit’ the blog, the link goes to ‘https://example.com/wp-admin/network/sites.php’ instead of the sub-domain it should and as the blogs previous made do, e.g. ‘https://sub-domain.example.com/’.

When I make a new blog/sub-domain, WP-MS adds it to the list of blogs but does not add it to the database nor does anything appear in blogs.dir.

I used this script to update the encoding on the tables.

<?php
$db = mysql_connect('localhost','<em>database_user</em>','<em>password</em>');
if(!$db) echo "Cannot connect to the database - incorrect details";
mysql_select_db('<em>database_name</em>'); $result=mysql_query('show tables');
while($tables = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
foreach ($tables as $key => $value) {
mysql_query("ALTER TABLE $value COLLATE utf8_general_ci");
}}
echo "The collation of your database has been successfully changed!";
?>

*Please note there is ANOTHER bug in the WP wysiwyg editor. When editing one’s posts, it strips the ‘code’ tag out and adds all sort of html instead, e.g. br and em.

That is truly appalling and should never have bundled!!!

Interesting, I have come across exactly the same problem with one host …

Both the “Error establishing database connection” and not having the privilege to execute.

Did you ever work out what the problem was?

Example … I have just dropped all the table as above, removed the changes to wp-config.php etc and am attempting a “fresh install”. I get this:

Error message.

Sub-domain Install

Because your install is not new, the sites in your WordPress network must use sub-domains. The main site in a sub-directory install will need to use a modified permalink structure, potentially breaking existing links.

So I follow instructions setting it up as a sub-domain install and then, after logging in again, and /wp-admin/network.php offer me this:

Create a Network of WordPress Sites

Warning: An existing WordPress network was detected.

…

define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );

A directory install.

No Super Admin option.

I just tried it again … wp-config.php as it should be. .htaccess down exactly to just what WP-MS told me.

So I tried a brand new database and it still stops me … I am 90% sure it is the host and their DNS or “insecurity settings”.

Their tech tried to tell me, “I believe this is to do with php not being cgi on your server.” Does not make sense to me …

Thank you for two confirmations that I am not being an idiot (re: codex and the plugin)! Folks … don’t try touch that plugin, it ain’t finished yet by a long way.

But my experience is that merely dropping those tables (which I tried) does not fix the issue. WP still recognises a previous install.

Following the instructions to remove WP-MS, here:

https://wpengineer.com/2056/remove-wordpress-multisite-feature-todo-list/

It does not work. The Network page STILL shows a message saying there is a previous install.

So how does one remove WP-MS entirely?

Thanks

Doing homework myself, it appears the tables might be as below but I have not tried to do so until I hear back from the plugin author.

My suggestion is that the plugin SHOULD recognise, be able to adopt and upgrade already existing tables, or remove its install.
——-

Remove the extra tables from the database. (The “wp_” will be replaced with whichever prefix you made during installation”)

wp_blogs
wp_blog_versions
wp_registration_log
wp_signups
wp_site
wp_sitemeta

Remove the two extra fields added to the users table.

I had a failure attempting to use this plugin on a 3.1 install that has left me with the problems others report …

No Network admin page appears. Re-installing WP MS manually then brings up the following error message.

“you will need to empty or remove the network database tables.”

Can you tell me which network tables exactly it installs and needs to be removed?

There is nothing in blogs.dir. wp-config.php and htaccess are as they should be.
There are no new blog tables in mySQL as I never got that far.

The funny thing is, I have done this manually many times and had no problems. I was just exploring the plug to see if I can recommend it to others.

I use a custom prefix on my tables, not wp_.
I cannot see any new tables that have been created.

What should I be looking for to remove in phpmyadmin?

Thanks

I see there was a commercial plugin called https://wordpressdating.com that might have been possible to modify, but it seems to have died.

Ditto, a request for Lost & Found plugins seems to have received a nil response.

Are there any other similar ones? Or any other recommendations that would play nicely with a WP based site, e.g. share logins etc?

Does this work with WP Multi-site?

Thank you.

I am sorry, I removed my post before you replied because I found the answer in the support forum. But, it does not work according to the instructions. It would be best to change this.

For idiots like me, and I see others have had the same problem, where you write on the readme and page, here …

pronamic_google_maps(array(
‘width’ => 290 ,
‘height’ => 200
));

It would help if instead it said, e.g.

<?php

pronamic_google_maps(array(
‘width’ => 290 ,
‘height’ => 200
));

?>

That is all it requires to make it “work”.

What would also be useful is …

Where in the code can one determine:

? which language is used for the Google map?
? which view is used, e.g. map, satellite, hybrid etc.

Thank you

Yes, thank you. Fluency is quite nice, and more compact.

The tabbed sidebar is better than the default scroll down WP one which if you maximize a few tabs makes you have to scroll down too far and too often.

But I was still look for even simpler, minimalist interfaces.
