Perfect! Already installed the WP MU Sitewide Tags plugin, and its fully functional in my project 🙂

CREATING A MEGA POST IN THE FUTURE

But, I’m still working in collect some other useful plugins for the project, and in the “end” I pretend to detail here in this thread all my installation procedure, because (I think) maybe it can be of some help for others interested in this same approach (if it is not the place, please, tell me, and I will not create a mega-post about this, here in the future).

LONG WAY TO GO…

I’m far from finish the basic installation, but I already posted one news in http://news.codecommunity.org/digital and the system replicate the call in the http://news.codecommunity front page 🙂 And when we click in this call in the front page project, we are redirected to the original post published in the digital sub-site 🙂 I love it!!

ANOTHER PLUGIN (SORRY…)

Now, I need another plugin 😀 and need your help suggesting one for me 🙂 There is some plugin that permit one login for all sub-sites in this WP farm installation? If yes, what you suggest? I really don’t want people creating so many accounts just to participate in all sub-sites in this same project. I really want people creating only one login that will serve to access all project’s sites. Can you help me?

Thank you in advance 🙂

Thank you! Now I have only one more question remaining: about the post “aggregation” in the ROOT/PARENT site. There is a plugin you can suggest, that can shown in the ROOT/PARENT site front page, the posts created in the CHILD sites?

If I will build a news (that way described in the comments above) using a WP farm, I will really need this “feature”. And then, when the resume post (preferable) are clicked in front page (ROOT/PARENT front page) the visitor will be “automagically” redirected to the CHILD site post.

Thanks again in advance 🙂

@andrea_r

Thank you by your suggestions and corrections 🙂

So, if I cannot create another level of directories with multi-network plugins, I think that the best approach (a.k.a: plan B) will be use categories in each site of the WP farm, and put them in a URL, simulating the directory second level:

news.mysite.com [PARENT]

news.mysite.com/science [CHILD][+ LINKS TO CATEGORIES]
news.mysite.com/science/astronomy [CATEGORY]
news.mysite.com/science/geology [CATEGORY]

news.mysite.com/technology [CHILD][+ LINKS TO CATEGORIES]
news.mysite.com/technology/vehicles [CATEGORY]
news.mysite.com/technology/houses [CATEGORY]

Do you agree with this approach? Its possible to use categories, and show them in URLs like that?

Thank you again, in advance

Ridiculous! I found the problem… Me! xDDD

I found the admin menu, in the user login dropdown menu on the RIGHT (not on the user login menu on the LEFT). Sorry by all this misunderstanding.

I suggest someone erase all my comments above, to not confuse visitors with real problems in your own WordPress network installation.

Or maybe better, erase this thread.

Sorry everyone.

Sorry. I’m confused. the network menu doesn’t show at all. To see my network available, I need to put in the final URL “network/” to see the administrative menu with access to all my sites. I cannot find ever with this update described above. The problem still exists, and I can only access my network if I put then in the URL.

The case is, when I update to 3.2.1 in English version I already stay in the network environment in 3.2.

By your tip, the network menu shows itself in a dropdown menu on my login name in the top bar, correct? If yes, then, this menu doesn’t yet appear there.

And I cannot find how to go to my Network environment in the core WP Network installation in codecommunity.org (English version). I don’t find the menu option in this dropdown menu. I only know how to go there by the URL (include “network/” at the URL end, after “wp-admin/”)

Suggestions?

@ipstenu

Thank you by your suggestions. I will try them all 🙂 but one of my request you didn’t answer: about the posts published in child sites, if they can be presented in parent sites (or ever in the root site), but when accessed, they redirect people to the child site that published this post 🙂

Can you give me any suggestion about this request?

Best Regards

First, sorry for the long absence. I was really busy until now.

I finally finish my “digging” into the problem, and (I think) I found the culprit: the WordPress Network installation in Brazilian Portuguese version.

Its very strange but, I will (try to) describe below the events in a temporal order:

The news.codecommunity.org was installed (in network mode) in Brazilian Portuguese translation version of WP package (available in br.ww.wp.xz.cn). It was updated that way until version 3.1.1, and still working well. But when I try to update to 3.2 version (in Brazilian Portuguese version too) this action (apparently) messed up with the WordPress Network installation at all.

How can (I think) I found out?

I already had in the root (codecommunity.org) another farm in WordPress, in Brazilian Portuguese version too, but somewhere in time, I update it to the 3.1.1 version, in English; Maybe by my own mistake, maybe because at that time there were only an English version available (and critical bugs opened).

When I update this version directly to the 3.2.1 (in English version too) the WP Network installation stay fully functional, and no problem occurred, like the network menu that doesn’t showing the network sites available in news.codecommunity.org (and the principal site too doesn’t shown there).

Then, I try the same to the messed up news.codecommunity.org WP network installation. I updated this version to 3.2.1 in English. And at that time (today) there were only the English version available to update, via WP control panel.

And the messed up menu was gone 🙂 The organization (and functionality) of network menu was recovered. The network menu now can show all sites (the principal, and the child sites).

OK! This is only my extrapolation, and I don’t have any clue about what really happened there. But this update in English only version remedy the problem. I always think that the WP translated versions doesn’t affect the WP core (I think they only have translation archives built-in), but what really happened?

[Code Community]

I will try to create a new WordPress Network installation here in projects.codecommunity.org, compare with the previous upgrade, and see if the same behavior occurs. If so, its the default WordPress Network behavior in 3.2.

@andrea_r

Why? Why create another post for the same problem? I think all of us have the same problem here. I describe it in my last posts. If you want, I can try to detail more.

[Code Community]

And, again, now I really want to downgrade my WordPress network installation :/

[Code Community]

I think the problem is worst then that. The 3.2 WP update messed up with the WordPress Network Installation completely. The new plugins, ever activated in the network, doesn’t appear in there (in the blogs/sites created in network). Only the old plugins already installed before the 3.2 actualization, still appearing and “working” in the network. And some configuration plugin (the new plugins installed) links doesn’t work, showing an 500 error page (internal error).

And I notice too, that the item menu from network installation (add configuration to .htaccess and wp-config.php archives), that disappear once you finish the network configuration, its still back to the menu.

And the Network menu really desapear from the menu (they could be found in up to version 3.0.x, on the menu top).

This update really messed up things to the WordPress network installation… :/
