Thanks. The ‘xip.io’ was added automatically by the bitnami install. It was there after I started setting up the network. I have access to the server and am comfortable making changes to wp-config if necessary. It does not appear the vhost is applicable though it might be – this was a stack one-step install from bitnami. Like, I could change the site url in wp-config if you think it makes sense. Right not, it points to an IP.

All the domains’ A record point to he one IP address that is the server. For example, xyz.com A record points to the IP address and so do all the other domains I have.

I use “WordPress MU Domain Mapping” plugin for domain mapping. Is there a better way?

A records can point to an IP address OR a URL (as an Alias). Are you saying to alias the A record of a domain to the subdomain of the original/base domain?

Thanks.

okay, This finally worked:

.page-id-5 p {
	width: 1200px;
}

thanks for your help!

I’ve tried both of those now, with no effect. Does this baffle you as much as it does me?

thanks

I’ve been building web pages for almost twenty years and I really do appreciate your help. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I can make the changes to the dom styles in the browser tool, and make those exact changes in the styles file, but it does not work. What am I missing?

Just for testing I made it 1200px like this – here’s my styles for the child:

/*
 Theme Name:     Twenty Thirteen Child
 Theme URI:      https://example.com/twenty-thirteen-child/
 Description:    Twenty Thirteen Child Theme
 Author:         John Doe
 Author URI:     https://example.com
 Template:       twentythirteen
 Version:        1.0.0
*/

/* =Imports styles from the parent theme
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
@import url('../twentythirteen/style.css');

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

.post-5 .entry-header {
   	width: 1200px;
}

Many thanks.

Okay. I changed the style.css in the child tampate to be:

/*
 Theme Name:     Twenty Thirteen Child
 Theme URI:      https://example.com/twenty-thirteen-child/
 Description:    Twenty Thirteen Child Theme
 Author:         John Doe
 Author URI:     https://example.com
 Template:       twentythirteen
 Version:        1.0.0
*/

/* =Imports styles from the parent theme
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
@import url('../twentythirteen/style.css');

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

media="all"
embed, iframe, object, video {
	width: 1200px;
}

In dom inspector, when I make the change of

media="all"
embed, iframe, object, video {
	width: 1200px;
}

It fixes the problem. I use the editor in the WP to make the change to the style.css to the above, and it reverts completely back to the original, according to DOM inspector.

Any ideas?

okay, child created
now what?

I’m a LAMP stack developer, just not a WP themer yet

I am adding an amazon associates store to a page. my theme is Twenty Thirteen and the content for the page content is about 150 px too narrow for the store to display. Nothing I can change on amazon settings so I am trying to code out the problem for that ONE page.

The amazon astore is an <iframe>. I tried embedding it, same problem

copied over wp_term_relationships from old db to new, and it works… TADAAA.

Wow, that shouldn’t be that hard BUT it is what it is and I am glad it’s working now.

Vestimir, thanks for your help!

Can I sen it to you thru PM? If so, how do I do that? Thanks.

Ok, I’m halfway there. I dropped and add wp-post, wp-terms, wp-term-taxonomy into a new installed db.

The page works. The post link works. The archive links work. But the category links do not work, though they display on the front page correctly.

Here are the old DB table. Which one(s) do I need to add to the new db to make the categories work?

Many thanks!

Would it be better to dump a new files set on the old DB and update, or revert to original, export, and import THAT file into new install and db? Or is there some other magic WP way?

Many thanks!

Yes

Yes, I basically installed the new pages over the old db and tried to update -> worked as described above. Changed to old .htaccess -> worked as described above.

I guess my next step is to install brand new everything and try to import old db into new install.

This is exactly why I recently switch from drupal on one site to WP because the update process was SO cumbersome and time-consuming.

Any further thoughts advice, much appreciated.

Ok. I have a used to host a site, https://www.example.com. The domain name went out of my possession. Now it’s back. In the meantime, it’s always been hosted under my main domain, as a subfolder, of my site, https://www.mysite.com/dkjskdjkjsfhkjh34jh3dh34/

I used the domain search replace php file and it worked ENOUGH to get the front page visible. As I said, I followed the instruction explicitly, backed up all files and db, deactivated all plugins, copied newest WP files into subdirectory, changed config-sample file to my db and changed it to wp-config.php

What it shows is the main page fine. It displays the category links and pages. For example, catABC(10), meaning category10 has ten posts, which is correctly calculated.

When I click on that link, https://www.mysite.com/dkjskdjkjsfhkjh34jh3dh34/category/catABC/

it displays the page 4040 error. It should show all records having that category tag.

When I click on the title of a post on the page, https://www.mysite.com/dkjskdjkjsfhkjh34jh3dh34/2009/12/my post title here/

it displays the 404 page error.

Many thanks.
