In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] ?repeat=w3tc in url, WordPress Multi-Sites environmentThere doesn’t appear to be very much actual support here.
Thank you. You have provided the BEST support I’ve ever encountered and I am now able to clone sites VERY efficiently. It’s a HUGE time saving plugin.
How do I “Disable domain mapping on the template / source site?”
Thank you Never Settle. I did de-activate WordPress MU Domain Mapping and then created a site however the posts and pages were not there in the new site.
I’ll try your exact steps.

In reply to: How to setup wordpress on a custom server?A system admin can enable wildcard dns even without C panel. you may not even have access to it should they install cpanel. It may be that all you get, or need, is ftp access and the rights to create databases. It could well be a very streamlined process for you with little leaning curve as it applies to server/network stuff.

In reply to: How to setup wordpress on a custom server?Above advice is excellent. The server requirements become the responsibility of ‘the college’ since they insist on running their own server. You present them with requirements then hope they can come through. If they fail it’s not your fault.

In reply to: Create a way for new site creationI wondered if anyone can tell me how do I create the option for someone to join my network?
Are you asking for them to be able to create subdomains? May be you are wanting them to be have a user role only on one site within the network?

In reply to: having one site with 3 themes (multi site)A possible solution would be to use subdomains, not sure if this would work:
primarydomain.tld (home page)
art.primarydomain.tld (art page)
creativeservices.primarydomain.tld (art page)In this scenario each area could have its own theme. I am pretty certain you cannot have one ‘install’ using three themes so would therefore need to have three installs.

In reply to: Multi Site installation and setup issue with first "multi" site!Is the process for moving wordpress to a different hosting provider straightforward?
There’s likely a plugin but I don’t use it. There two basic steps in doing it manually:
1) get a copy of the site’s database and import it into the new hosting account using PhpMyadmin
2) copy ALL files at root and move over to new hosting companyForum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: Multi Site installation and setup issue with first "multi" site!I am using Godaddy for hosting a WP MultiSites network and it works fine. The ‘technical’ support know shite about it so you better. To use them you must choose Linux with Cpanel. You’ll probably want to choose the Deluxe plan as it allow for multiple websites with up to 25 databases. in my case I chose that because I have sites that I do not want in my WPMS network.

In reply to: Multi Site installation and setup issue with first "multi" site!Is wildcard dns enabled at the hosting company? Sorry if I missed that being stated.
If not you’ll need to get into cpanel and create a subdomain like this:
*.pickwickpuppetclub.com

In reply to: Multi Site installation and setup issue with first "multi" site!Firstly you need to do the domain mapping from the newly created site itself and NOT from the PRIMARY SITE.
It gets goofy here, at least for me, and shame on me for not writing my own instructions in all of the previous opportunities to do so. You either need to create the domain mapping first (withing the new site’s dashboard, or go to My Sites > Network Admin > Sites > Edit (the newly created site) > Domain then change it from NewSiteUrl.PrimarySiteUrl.tld to NewSiteUrl.tld
Go to: My Sites > Network Admin > Sites > Edit (the newly created site) > Domain… and make sure the new site is NewSiteUrl.PrimarySiteUrl.tld and NOT NewSiteUrl.tld.PrimarySiteUrl.tld. I hope that makes sense. Then go to that new created subdomain, that’s not yet mapping to NewSiteUrl.com, and create the mapping within Tools > Domain Mapping and set as Primary.
I hope this offers at least a crumb of help.
