Just tried and it won’t let me sorry.

MY apologies. This review was meant for Visual Composer not your plugin. I’d delete it, but the people at www.remarpro.com have decided in their “infinite wisdom” that we cannot.

I thought about this for a bit. Maybe it isn’t as bad as I thought. I’ve been trialling backup solutions so it may not be this one, but I read that some of them, while backing up, make the site unavailable.

So, probably, silly me for stopping it mid-stream (though I figure 8 hours is plenty of time!) and the site is still offline (though I get a “This webpage is not available. The connection to https://www.cordancetechnologies.com was interrupted.”)

All the files are intact on the server – there must be something set in a file to do this. Can anyone help?

I should add, it’s the Sunrise multi site I’m using. However, it’s happening on all sites now. WP is turning into a huge disaster for me.

Great – figured that out! Thanks for your help Demoris.

So, now that I have that sorted, I go to the previous instructions about adding Sunrise?

OK I’m making progress. However I get this error message after clicking “Install”.

“Warning! Wildcard DNS may not be configured correctly!

The installer attempted to contact a random hostname (5d41f5.blahblah.info) on your domain. This resulted in an error message: Couldn’t resolve host ‘5d41f5.blahblah.info’

To use a subdomain configuration, you must have a wildcard entry in your DNS. This usually means adding a * hostname record pointing at your web server in your DNS configuration tool.”

My .htaccess is currently:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

What do I need to edit to deal with this error?

NVM. The code I had gotten elsewhere was wrong on checking against the instructions on this page…. Grrrrr.

Get to Step 2 and do that, but can’t do Step 3 as there is no Network tool under Tools.

No I haven’t. Guess that’s my problem… Will work through that and report back. Thanks.

I followed the instructions. I don’t know what else I need to do. What is the “Multisite process”?

Yes. As soon as I save the amended wp-config the site fails. Can’t see the front or back ends.

One of my points was there are well documented instructions but they are different. One says manual installation and one seems to indicate automatic (apart from sunrise.php and that one line edit). Then there is another set of instructions that call for placing of a 2nd line of code in wp-config `define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
