OK – back up and running!! Thanks for the help.

For some reason – after i renamed the themes i was then able to get acces to admin pages other than dash which i couldn’t do before – from there i disabled all the plugins – and then went back to ftp and deleted buddymatic – the website works with twenty ten – hopefully when i intall the other themes it should continue to work – thanks again for the help!!

Thanks for the reply

OK – I renamed all themes /wp-content/themes/ apart from twentyten – but still get blank page – i have tried deleting using ftp and host server but i get the reply permission denied on the server side, and with the ftp it seems to go through the process of deleting, but the directories are still there…?

One thing that may be help – I was running the site as multisite and I may have tried to activate buddymatic without making it available in superadmin themes – although i don’t know whetehr or not this would have caused this problem

As long as i keep my database, i am probabaly OK with everything else, i.e. starting over…can i just backup my database (BYW where is that stored) and plugins via ftp and reinstall – i would rather not so this but it is definately better than loosing the posts etc.

Buddymatic was the theme and i also installed Jooc theme to test – i have tried to delete these via the host server but i get access denied because of permissions -i have tried to change permission via ftp – i go back to host server and try to delete these but no can’t do again permission denied – i think this may be related as the blank screen started when i installed buddymatic

tried deactivating plugins and reactivating one-by-one but no good…

now working – not quite sure why:)

i am also having a problem with this – it worked fine first – but now it has stopped working – i have uninstalled and reinstalled and deactivated other plugins with no luck – but one thing is curious, even after a reinstall the default blog name is changed to archaeoblog (the name i gave) rather than blogs – i have also tried using main blog but this does not work either – i have deleted other subdomain sites with the hope that that would work…but it didn’t – so now i’ve ran out of ideas….and juts at the time when i asked some people to test the site live..:( any thoughts?

Done it!! Fantastic

All i did was go into the timetrekkers.co.uk domain and create an alias patrick.timetrekkers.co.uk and mapped this in wordpress – I now see what you mean about not having a physical folder, as i didn’t actually create a subdomain in plesk, i only created the alias.

Thanks again for the help!

when i try to look at the Backend of patrick.timetrekkers.co.uk i get The requested URL /wp-admin/ was not found on this server…do think this is related to the problem above.

thanks

OK, i’ve set up a subdomain within plesk patrick.timetrekkers.co.uk, and this shows correctly as a subdomain and i have set up a site patrick within wordpress working as network. But when i visit patrick.timetrekkers.co.uk all i get is the default plesk page.

The records for this subdomain under DNS settings now show – (Host)patrick.timetrekkers.co.uk……(Record Type) A…….(Value) 75.125.202.83.

This is the same as for timetrekkers.co.uk which reads (Host)timetrekkers.co.uk…….(Record Type) A………(Value)75.125.202.83 – but when i visit this site it works…

is it that i simply have to waitfor it to be updated?

ok, i’ll give it a go.

and would that work with wp network or would i have to install wp into each subdomain?

sorry newbee to this….so instead of creating a wildcard, i create a subdomain in plesk, but do i have to then chaage any of teh dns settings or then edit the httpd.conf file…

thanks

s

this is not good…my webhost says ‘they do not support wildcard sub-domains’!:(

They recommend that i use multi-domains – but they would ’cause I then have to pay for them!

i did manage to change to set DNS records
*.mydomain.co.uk…..A……75.125.202.83
*.webmail.mydomain.co.uk……CNAME……mydomain.co.uk

if this makes sense…?
any ideas on how i could get around this?

cheers

this is very useful – but my host uses PLESK and I can’t deem to find the httpd.conf file anywhere? Any ideas?

thanks

S

that’s it…cheers
