Hi Mark
So is there an answer to this question for non-paid members?
Exactly as BeautyPirate describes – I have received multiple emails regarding locked out IPs but they do not show up in the ‘locked out IP’ tab (or any of the tabs) on the ‘Blocked IPs’ page.
I have now manually blocked a repeat offender, and that is listed now.
But I would like to know whether automatically ‘blocked’ IPs I’m being emailed about, are in fact blocked?
Love the plugin.
Thanks
PS: Are you still hanging a CellC modem on an umbrella? ??

Thanks Mary & Javier for saving me hours of head-scratching.

Hi Ahimsalove
Yes, there are no such settings in the wp-settings.php file. It would be a useful solution to simply be able to point the site to the same tables but I’m not sure if it’s possible, I do not know the WordPress core adequately.
I have also decided on a multisite install so that solution would not work for me anyway. I am however still looking for advice on this query, just now specifically within a multisite environment.
I will post here if I find anything useful.

jonnydrury is correct in that you can download your email subscribers (go to “Totals, Followers & Shares” in your “Site Stats” on wordpress.com. You’ll see links to ‘blog’ and ‘comments’ followers. “email followers” can be downloaded as .csv) but Esmi is correct in the sense that you can’t download a list of wordpress.com subscribers (non-email). Does anyone else have a solution to this?

Oh, and the CRM doesn’t necessarily have to be on a separate domain. If I could find a way of having 2x single-$posttype.php, or archive-$posttype.php, on a single domain.
Creating custom page templates and creating cpts as ‘pages’, then selecting the custom templates seems limited and tedious, plus my users would have to know which templates to select (just another step I’d rather avoid).

Thanks again.

Hi Ipstenu

I want to run a domain and sub-domain using separate themes but sharing the same data. I.e not just the same database but the same tables.

Many ask why one would do this. In my case, it’s quite simple really. I have a subdomain which will be protected and only visible to admins, and will operate as my CRM. In other words, public users get to see certain elements of my data in their template files, and the ‘managers’ get to see (other meta of) the same data represented as reports using different templates. I can therefore use WP’s built in template hierarchy and have 2x single-$posstype.php, one for each theme/subdomain.

I’ve done a fair amount of reading and have only found 2 viable options for doing this.
1. Install two instances of WordPress and alter the second one’s config to point to the original tables (i.e. both use wp_$tables), except for the $options table which needs to be separate;
2. Use WordPress Multisite, install the second theme but add the code (perhaps in the header?) to switch_the_blog(), to use database from blog_1.

Is there a better way to achieve what I’m trying to do?

Otherwise, which of these do you recommend?

Thanks very much.

@rodolfo: You da man! Thanks.

Same here. Anybody had any luck with this issue?
