Title: Need help with Multiply Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Need help with Multiply * Resolved [Chaz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eternalskychaz/) * (@eternalskychaz) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-multiply/) * Hi, all. * I’ve tried multiple times to contact the author of the Multiply plug for help, but I get no response, so I am hoping that the WP community can help me. * I’ve set up the plug in and followed the directions exactly as the author describes on his site and I still can’t get the blogs to display. * For quite a while I was getting errors due to my host’s (GoDaddy.com) file structure. I am past all that now but all I get when I click on the “View Site” link from the Dashboard, all I get is a blank, white page. No error messages … nothing. Just empty cyberspace. * So far, I am trying to set up two blogs (and I’ll set up more if I can get this problem solved). * The direct link addressess are as follows: * [http://news.eternalsky.us/wordpress/chronicles/index.php](http://news.eternalsky.us/wordpress/chronicles/index.php) * [http://news.eternalsky.us/wordpress/edwood/index.php](http://news.eternalsky.us/wordpress/edwood/index.php) * Luckily, the main blog still comes up perfectly. it’s address is: * [http://news.eternalsky.us/wordpress/index.php](http://news.eternalsky.us/wordpress/index.php) * This page shows what I want to appear for the “chronicles” index.php * Is there anyone that can shed some light on my problem? * Thanks! * EDIT: Since posting this yesterday, (probably in the wrong part of the forum) I’ve discovered that if I change the names of the blogs “index.php” to “blogname. php” I can call up the blogs individually by manually typing the URL into a browser address bar. * But this isn’t the normal way WordPress functions and so I can’t bring up the pages in the Dashboard. Is there a way to specify exactly which blogname.php file to call up instead of just specifying which folder? (I’ve tried just creating a folder with the index.php file in it for a particular blog, but all I get is the blank page.) * Becausof GoDaddy’s unique fil structure, I’ve had to use the absolute address of wp-blog-header.php even to get the blank page. Anything else just produces errors.

This is a free support forum, people don’t get paid to help peoples..so you’ll have to give some leeway on reply times.. * spencerp * [niziol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/niziol/) * (@niziol) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-multiply/#post-357115) * ** 1 issue, 1 thread! ONE!** * Well, I tend to just offer tips to make a thread more “help-able”. The plug-in, as stated on the authors page, seems to only work with WordPress 2.0. There are a number of hacks you have to make to the core files it seems, I would guess that since there is a [WordPress Multiuser](http://mu.wordpress.org/) addition, that the functionality this plug-in purports to offer is probably not as easy to come-by as by just using a plug-in. * Besides my conjecture above, I have no idea what is wrong, how the plug-in really works or how to fix it! Maybe look at the multiuser edition if that’s the kind of functionality you need. I think there are several mini-blog plug-ins around, that could be helpful for you. I guess I don’t really understand what your goal with this all is, maybe if you try to explain it and why the standard features won’t let you do it, someone can figure this out or offer you a better solution. Sorry I can’t offer you more than that. * Good luck, Michael. * Thread Starter [Chaz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eternalskychaz/) * (@eternalskychaz) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-multiply/#post-357185) * Well, let me first say that, yes, I know I had this in “How-To’s & Trouble Shooting.” But then I saw the “Plugins & Hacks” subforum and realized that it would be more apporpriate to post my request for help here. * My intention was to delete the previous post, but I don’t see anyway to do that. There’s no “Delete” button to remove your own posts, either in the “How-To’s & Trouble Shooting” thread or in my profile. So, if anyone knows how I can delete the old post, I’ll be happy to do do as I am no stranger to forum posting ad I realize that multiple posts on the same topic as taboo. * Michael/niziol – Thanks so much for your help. I will investigate the Multiuser Edition to see if it will give me what I want. * In the interim, here is a description of my blog and what I want out of it: * 1) I am a small time independent filmmaker in Upstate NY and my website as a whole is meant to be a Shamless Self Promotion tool for my projects. 🙂 I’d like to set up the main blog as the hoempage for the whole site, with a separate Production Diary (blog) for each project so that I can: a) create a new Production Diary and a skin for each project to capture the essence of the project in the look& feel of the skin while maintaining an aesthetic connection to the look of the rest of the site (can’t do this with just the “Categories” function as you can’t select a new skin for each category) b) post behind-the-scenes pics and videos right in the text of each Production Diary (believe it or not, posting videos has been the easy part! *LOL*) I’ve even been able to post a table with a video embedded in it so that I can wrap text around it and have even more control over the look of a post. * 2) I belong to a private group of independent filmmakers, writers, actors, etc. and I would like to set up Storytelling blogs to act as a collaborative workspace for the writers of the group. (I already know how to set levels of permission for WordPress from the Dashboard – that’s cake) * The problem is just that I can’t get other blogs to display unless they are in the same directory as the wp-blog-header.php file, so each blog’s home page cannot be named “index.php” and the Options menu in the Dashboard won’t let me select an indivudual file (like “blogname.php”) for each blog. Right now, I have to set up a separate directory just to store the index.php file for each blog, but then, when I click the “View Site” button, all I get is a blank page. * I hope my decsription of what I want from my blog(s) was helpful and, please forgive the double posts. I’ll delete the previous one ASAP or perhaps a Mod or Admin will be good enough to nuke my the other post. * I am using WP 2.0.2 with Multiply 2.0 installed. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [Chaz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eternalskychaz/) * (@eternalskychaz) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-multiply/#post-357284) * WOOO HOOO!!!!!! * I FINALLY got this problem solved. it all had to do with GoDaddy’s very unique file structure for hosting and the elimination of a “./” * Thank so much for everyon’es help! * [niziol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/niziol/) * (@niziol) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-multiply/#post-357286) * Good stuff, glad to hear it! * [spencerp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spencerp/) * (@spencerp) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-multiply/#post-357289) * Amen! Glad to hear you got it fixed. =) As for this: * _My intention was to delete the previous post, but I don’t see anyway to do that.

So, if anyone knows how I can delete the old post, I’ll be happy to do do as I am no stranger to forum posting ad I realize that multiple posts on the same topic as taboo._ * =( I’m afraid there isn’t any way for us regular forum users to delete or move threads..that’s all up to the moderators to handle… * I wish there was atleast the option for us to “delete” or “move” our own threads. Might take some strain off the moderators lol..but gotta just deal with it I guess. =/ Your all good though.. and again, glad to hear you got it fixed.. =) * spencerp * Thread Starter [Chaz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eternalskychaz/) * (@eternalskychaz) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-with-multiply/#post-357315) * Michael, you have no idea how glad I am as well. Now I can focus on actually using my blog(s) to show my work instead of wrassling with code. * Thanks for the support Spencer. Unfortrunately, most fourms don’t allow regular members to delete or move their own posts, and with good reason, although some will give you an infinite amount of time to edit a post or give you the possibility to contact a mod directly and request that a post be deleted or moved.
