Thanks for your reply. The code seems not to be showing any more, before I even had a chance to start disabling plugins. So I don’t know what caused the problem in the first place.
Thanks as well for your excellent plugins!

In reply to: I'd like one blog displayed in two places (on the same site)Another update for posterity: I found a post about this on another site. Looks like it’s impossible to do without some complicated hacking, and I wasn’t able to get it working on the most recent version of WP.

In reply to: I'd like one blog displayed in two places (on the same site)Update: so close… and yet, so far. I can’t have the directory structure I’d like.
If I create a network at mydomain.com/wordpress/, then I can only create another site at mydomain.com/wordpress/fr.
If I create a network at mydomain.com/, but have the blog at mydomain.com/wordpress/, I can’t create a network (WP won’t allow this setting, for some reason).
I can create one network at mydomain.com/wordpress/ and another at mydomain.com/fr/wordpress/ and then link them with the WP Multi Network plugin… but then the two blogs won’t be using the same database, so I don’t think the WP Multisite Mirror plugin will work.

In reply to: I'd like one blog displayed in two places (on the same site)Ok, I’ve figured it out. In case anyone ever finds this and wants to do the same thing:
1. Create a Network of Sites using the info on this page. (If you read through it a couple times, you’ll find it’s not as terrifying or complicated as it looks, but it seems to be easier on a fresh WP install.) Also set up a second blog to copy the first one.
2. Install and activate the WP Multisite Mirror plugin.
3. Determine the BlogID of the original blog by going to Network Admin > All Sites. Hover over the link to the original blog; the URL should end with “ID=1” (or another number). That number is your BlogID.
4. Go to the dashboard of the new blog, the one that is going to be a copy of the original.
5. Click on “MMS Settings” under the plugin menu on the left.
6. If you’ve chosen a difference prefix, change it in the first box. (If you don’t know your prefix, it’s probably just the default, wp_).
7. Enter the BlogID of the original blog in the box.
8. Click “Save Changes”.
Notes:
- My original blog was at mydomain.com/wordpress. I wanted my copy-blog to be at mydomain.com/fr/wordpress, but WP only allowed me to make a new blog at mydomain.com/wordpress/whatever. I’ll have to back up my files, re-install wordpress in the root folder, and possibly create two extra blogs to fit the structure I want. (Although there’s probably an easier way to do all that.)
- Some of this info might not apply if you want to use subdomains instead of subdirectories… Not sure.

In reply to: I'd like one blog displayed in two places (on the same site)Thanks. I certainly understand that automatic translation would save time. But I’m just not interested in that.
Does anyone have any advice about the original question? I.e., how can I display the same blog twice on one domain?

In reply to: I'd like one blog displayed in two places (on the same site)Thanks, but the plugins I looked at didn’t seem to do what I wanted. Do you know of one that I don’t? The problem really isn’t translation at all – I’ve got somebody to do the translating for me.
The true issue is how to display one blog in two spots.
