Thank you for your help.

No, I’m not seeing any navigation, either. It’s really odd. The formatting I had (I pulled it to try your suggestions) worked beautifully. It placed the nav above the image. It worked, except when it didn’t. It was almost like the stylesheet loaded AFTER the page, and so the formatting was missing. But it was the same formatting for each image, so how would that happen?

This is the HTML from page.php:

<div class="first-column">
<?php $text = get_the_content(); ?>
<?php $separator = '</div><div class="second-column">'; ?>
<?php echo content_split($text,$separator); ?>
</div>

So that this makes sense, I do not normally work with blogs. Rather, I use WP to design web pages – and I rarely mess with the loop. So this sort of territory is unfamiliar to me.

Thanks, IP.

Let me show you the site. This is a working page (non-blog): ringsunique.com/testimonials. The key are the thumbnails to the left. Notice that they each lead to a different collection of rings.

Now go to the blog: ringsunique.com/blog. Notice that the thumbs on the left lead to the blog.

You mentioned multiple installs. You’re correct. There is a separate login for the blog.

So do you have any suggestions? Is there any sort of backdoor way to pull that content so that the sites don’t have to be updated separately?

Thanks.

I have a similar issue. I have a site here: https://rowlandwilliams.com/hoft. It is a multi-user site.

I am ready to move it to its own domain, houseoftutors.edu. I have migrated a number of standard sites using Settings. How in the Q$#R%T do I move this multisite?

Any help would be welcome.

Thank you.

But it does.

Thanks. But what about those links that don’t go anywhere even when the pages are deleted? How do I get rid of them?

inserting the on_ code didn’t work. the form shows its normal on page response, but does not forward.

thank you. that worked. one more question. how do i redirect to another wordpress page? i have seen various suggestions, including on_sent_ok: “location.replace(‘https://www.YOURSITE.com’);”

but i tried this and still no forward.

that last paragraph was me asking, not my elance provider.

well, i gave up and went to elance for help. my vietnamese helper is now asleep in his warm bed. the last we emailed before he headed off to dreamland, he wrote:

Your website was not created by multiblog and multiuser functionality of wordpress 3.0. They are all separate wordpress installtions. That’s why you cannot change the main blog content from storefront admin.

is there a specific way to build multi-user? i simply added four users to the database. is that not right?

okay. making sense. with one caveat (and no, i wasn’t put here by former friends intent on torturing you). you refer to:

<?php switch_to_blog(1); ?>

where does the “1” come from? i assume it is attached to the main site’s menu. do i need to give that menu a number or is that the name of the menu, using the example from above, “central-menu”?

further, the pages listed on the storefront’s menu, are they automatically listed after <?php restore_current_blog(); ?>

i swear, i really am this baffled and am not planning to come over and boil a bunny after driving you crazy.

actually, let me clarify.

i understand about hard coding the urls, but that isn’t good since we will add new pages on occasion and we need the menus to be updated automatically so we don’t have to go in and hard code new pages into the storefronts.

sorry. i should have made that clear.

thanks and crap! i don’t understand how to accomplish the goal with what you wrote. let me tell you what i’ve done so far. i’ve put the following into functions.php:

add_theme_support( ‘menus’ );

function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array(
‘central-menu’ => __( ‘Central Menu’ ),
‘austin-menu’ => __( ‘Austin Menu’ ),
)
);
}

i’ve put this into the template for the main site and also for storefront one:

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( ‘sort_column’ => ‘menu_order’, ‘container_class’ => ‘menu-header’ ) ); ?>

there is one more issue i’m unsure about. when i want to call the central menu, for example, i don’t know how to name the main site’s menu “central menu.”

i feel like i’m on the verge of understanding, but there’s some piece of the puzzle and some knowledge that i am totally missing.

thanks for getting me through this. it means a lot. (and it’s really exciting. i think i’m going to become addicted to this software!)

i have been reading my butt off, and am still pretty confused.

let me give you an exact example of what i need to accomplish, if possible.

main site uses database #0. storefront one uses database #1. the pages contained in db#0 are allowed to be placed on every storefront site, if the storefront manager wants to use them. db#1 contains pages unique to storefront one.

another twist. storefront managers CANNOT be allowed to edit db#0 pages. for example, storefront one can ONLY edit pages contained in db#1.

i am totally open to the main site and storefronts sharing a database. but if they do, the above rules apply.

whew! what i want isn’t doable, is it?
