In reply to: Suggestion for a Column making plug-in for multisites@dbevarly: I use Genesis Easy Columns on v3.6 multisite and it is network activate-able and works well here. http://Radiant-Homes.com
Cheers!But that isn’t really what you want. And what you want may not be possible.
Yeah…. everything I’ve tried so far hasn’t gotten me what I want. (either by .htaccess and/or wp-config.php) I have managed to get the second site /blog/wp/ to open via root, but then the main/first site “blog” is corrupt. If I enter http://radiant-homes.com/blog/ as I should, it uses the second site’s theme and produces a blank page… no data/posts.
Giving it its own directory AFTER the Multisite fact is so complicated, I don’t actually know anyone who’s tried.
Well now you can say you do! LOL So anyhow….. I’ve given up and went ahead and installed a second WP in root, exported my second site from /blog/wp/ and imported it via the import plugin, copied my theme I created for my main re-creation site, re-uploaded a few necessary pics to the root install, checked all pages, and it’s up and running. MUCH easier than fighting this. I thank you for all the assistance and I will close this thread as resolved, but impractical! 😉
@mika: Just downloaded your “other” pdf you mention to another user…. it’s page 82 btw. Let me try this before you waste time on me. 😉 I’ll report back here with my results and elaborate & close if this works!

Mika,
“or was everything installed in and running from the /blog/ folder all along?” <— yes! 😉I installed WP (in default/single mode) in the /blog/ subfolder of my site’s root dir. WP automatically used radiant-homes.com/blog/ as the default/first site’s root dir, which is fine by me for the blog. I then created the second site (which I wanted to eventually replace my existing main/static html home page) and was forced to choose a directory…. in which I chose /wp/. So the second site created is using radiant-homes.com/blog/wp/ as it’s root access.
What I want is to use that second site “blog_id=2” (/blog/wp/) as my main site’s root site, and keep the first site “blog_id=1” (/blog/) as is for my separate blog page. I read your one multisite pdf which was wonderful btw…. (thank you!) but I don’t think it addresses what I’m trying to accomplish. maybe multisite wasn’t my best choice for what I want to do? Since posting this question, I have installed another WP in the root of my host, and managed with some effort to recreate the work I’ve done in the /blog/ multisite. You can see it here http://radiant-homes.com. My blog still works, after all the trial-n-error fiddling with the db, .htaccess, and wp-config.php. LOL
radiant-homes.com/blog/.It would be more convenient to keep multisite for many reasons…. I just really wanted to get my main site back up (the new one converted to WP), hence the second WP install. Bear in mind…. before 2 weeks ago I was a total WP newb so this has almost cost me my relationship with all the hours I’ve put into this. Not a good thing but I do own a small contracting biz and this was what I felt an important endeavor.
Any help would be appreciated… thank you for the response above.

In reply to: Make Multisite Blog New Home SiteUgh… didn’t see your post but it sounds like you are trying to accomplish the same thing as myself. See my post (don’t wanna hijack yours) as I did manage to get this to work… although not the way I wanted it to. It’s redirecting the first site (of 2) and I want the secondary site to load via root. 🙁
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/need-help-moving-from-subdirectory-to-root-v36-multisite-2-sites?replies=1This looks wonderful, but how will this affect a sub-directory multi-site setup? My story: I have a static html site on the root of my host (radiant-homes.com) which when typed calls index.htm and loads.
I recently wanted to try out WP and setup a blog in a sub-directory (radiant-homes.com/blog/) and all is well. I fell in love with WP so much, I decided to setup multi-site and re-create my original static page into WordPress format. (ugh…. what a learning exp but I got it!) The “new” (main) re-creation site is @ radiant-homes.com/blog/wp/ and everything works so far!
Now, I want to DEL the old html site and have radiant-homes.com load the WP site located @ radiant-homes.com/blog/wp/ I think this would be easier if I didn’t have multisite and quite frankly, I’m scared! I put in umpteen hours building my WP static site from scratch! LOL
Thanks in advance….
Jim

In reply to: [XML Sitemap Generator for Google] Error in Sitemap – URL Not allowedI believe it’s that question mark in the link that’s causing the error. I use that Ultimate TinyMCE plugin which has two “themes” that have a “?” in them. The create_sitemap.php script I use to create sitemaps tripped on both of them. Let me rephrase… the script wrote the sitemap.xml OK, but firefox choked on viewing it with an error on those lines, stating it was an invalid sitemap. I had to manually DEL those two entries and all is well.
