updatediva

Thanks for getting back to me. A custom css section would be great for a future release, but I will back up my changes for now.
The specific changes she requested were:
— make the ‘Register/Lost Your Password?’ text at the bottom a different color to contrast with the background she chose and make it larger and bolder for her older clients to see.
— I also did some customer padding mods around her logo
These changes were very easy but it would be nice to not have to re-gen them with each upgrade.
It’s a great plugin and I enjoy working with it!

Mine is a wpmu install but I’m the only user with super-admin privileges.

Yup me too

rhdesign,
Thanks for posting this issue clearly and concisely, I had no problem following everything you wrote since I have a similar situation and duplicated almost everything you did with the same results.

The answers you got are very disappointing especially after last weeks Botnet attack. Mika, rhdesign didn’t break anything and WPMU needs to get a fix together on this really fast that mimics the old single site method including asking about reassigning authorship. Suggesting we go through and manually changing admin as the author of reams of posts would get me fired.

My attempt to add a new Superadmin and delete Admin failed because Admin owned the email account the site was registered to. It’s looking like two Superadmins cannot have the same email account and I’m having no luck reassigning it.

The answer I had to settle for was to reset admin back to being a regular user with no Superadmin priviledges. The posts that admin authored won’t have to be changed and the new Superadmin is the author of new posts. Not sure how it’s going to work with admin still owning the contact email and Superadmin unable to use it.

So the fix needs to include the ability for either transferring ownership of the account email to a super-superuser (a prima inter pares?) or sharing it and a batch post rename.

Mika is there any functionality like this at present (outside of going into the tables?)

Yes that’s correct. Although technically I guess it was through SimpleScripts. But I was not at the Dashboard of my Network Admin.

The update cooked for about 30 seconds then kicked out a file conflict message for wp_config, readme, index.php, etc and asked for permission to overwrite. The only file listed that I knew had mods was wp_config and I figured I’d replace that code so I said okay. It cooked some more then finished. When I went back in I had a fresh install of WP 3.5.1 that wasn’t MU.

So I went back and did the standard (subdomain) MU mods to .htaccess and wp_config and … nothing. That’s when the 301 errors kicked in.

I’ve since rolled back the databases and files to 3.5 and everything is good.

I did do quite a bit of searching for ‘how to upgrade WPMU from 3.5 to 3.5.1’ or any information about upgrading a WP multisite to the next version and didn’t find anything. All my standalone WP upgrades have always worked well from the SimpleScripts screen so while I did think twice about the upgrade I didn’t think twice really hard.

If you all would consider putting something in the WPMU codex about doing multi-site WP upgrades that would be really great.

And thanks for responding.
