imagitude

Ok – I figured this out on my own. Had to recompile the CSS file and how it was configured to display image widths.

@liveslow_skatefast – got it. Thanks for your help and patience.

@wpyogi – thanks, I fixed that but still no change.

@esmi – I just added Firebug, but I don’t understand how it would necessarily make things easier. When I direct my browser to Appearance -> Editor Firebug shows the code for the containing Dashboard page, not style.css. Or are you suggesting that I browse to the style.css file directly?

I’m also not seeing how P conflicts, and I admit that this could just be a big case of me not understanding how the CSS code works.

Thanks @wpyogi. Just out of curiosity, is there a template file for tweaking the horizontal menu, or is it tweaked in style.css?

Thanks, esmi – I will look into this.

Hi there,

1) Here is the content of my .htaccess:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

# END WordPress
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^imagitude.ca$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.imagitude.ca$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/imagitude\.com" [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^imagitude.net$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.imagitude.net$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/imagitude\.com" [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^imagitude.org$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.imagitude.org$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/imagitude\.com" [R=301,L]

RewriteEngine off
<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
	suPHP_ConfigPath /home/matt/public_html/php.ini
	<Files php.ini>
		order allow,deny
		deny from all
	</Files>
</IfModule>

2) I don’t know much about wildcard subdomains – they have been referred to, but not as part of any setup instructions I’ve been using.

3) Funny you should mention this, @andrea_r – I went to my main blog to check the permalink settings (which should be “pretty”), and when I went to check via my sites archives, guess what: going to archive pages gives me a 404 now. I don’t know if this is a result of anything I’ve done in trying to setup multisite, or if this is a separate mess.

Hi Ipstenu,

I should mention that on Otto’s Multisite Domain Mapping Tutorial (which a lot of people link to), he says (at the bottom): “In older versions of the domain mapping system, you had to use a subdomain installation and wildcard DNS for domain mapping to work. This is no longer the case, domain mapping works just fine with subdirectories.”

Now…I followed your advice. I deleted the subdirectory and started from scratch, installing the development version files and making the subsequent changes to wp-config and .htaccess.

I set up the new domain (in Sites). It starts as a subdomain, but then I go to Edit and change it to what it should be (as per your note). I have both my root domain and the new domain appearing in the Sites page. However, when I click Dashboard for the new domain I get a 404 (URL /wp-admin/ not found), and when I click Visit I get a 404 (URL / not found).

So, not to be stupid, but I don’t get it. I’m going around in circles, all because I don’t want to waste space on my server with another WP base install. I really want to understand how this works, but – although I appreciate all your help – I’m getting nowhere.

What am I doing wrong? Should the path of the new domain be changed?

No, sorry – WP is installed in the root directory (where my top domain resides). The new blog/site I’m having problems with is in a subdirectory – there is no WP installation in that directory.
