 * Thanks. The ‘xip.io’ was added automatically by the bitnami install. It was there
   after I started setting up the network. I have access to the server and am comfortable
   making changes to wp-config if necessary. It does not appear the vhost is applicable
   though it might be – this was a stack one-step install from bitnami. Like, I 
   could change the site url in wp-config if you think it makes sense. Right not,
   it points to an IP.
 * All the domains’ A record point to he one IP address that is the server. For 
   example, xyz.com A record points to the IP address and so do all the other domains
   I have.
 * I use “WordPress MU Domain Mapping” plugin for domain mapping. Is there a better
   way?
 * A records can point to an IP address OR a URL (as an Alias). Are you saying to
   alias the A record of a domain to the subdomain of the original/base domain?
 * Thanks.

 * I’ve been building web pages for almost twenty years and I really do appreciate
   your help. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I can make the changes to the
   dom styles in the browser tool, and make those exact changes in the styles file,
   but it does not work. What am I missing?
 * Just for testing I made it 1200px like this – here’s my styles for the child:
 *     ```
       /*
        Theme Name:     Twenty Thirteen Child
        Theme URI:      http://example.com/twenty-thirteen-child/

       */
   
       /* =Imports styles from the parent theme

       @import url('../twentythirteen/style.css');
   
       /* =Theme customization starts here

       .post-5 .entry-header {

 *     ```

       media="all"
       embed, iframe, object, video {
       	width: 1200px;
       }
       ```
   
 * In dom inspector, when I make the change of

       media="all"
       embed, iframe, object, video {
       	width: 1200px;
       }
       ```
   
 * It fixes the problem. I use the editor in the WP to make the change to the style.
   css to the above, and it reverts completely back to the original, according to
   DOM inspector.
 * Any ideas?

 * I am adding an amazon associates store to a page. my theme is Twenty Thirteen
   and the content for the page content is about 150 px too narrow for the store
   to display. Nothing I can change on amazon settings so I am trying to code out
   the problem for that ONE page.
 * The amazon astore is an <iframe>. I tried embedding it, same problem

 * Ok, I’m halfway there. I dropped and add wp-post, wp-terms, wp-term-taxonomy 
   into a new installed db.
 * The page works. The post link works. The archive links work. But the category
   links do not work, though they display on the front page correctly.
 * Here are the old DB table. Which one(s) do I need to add to the new db to make
   the categories work?
    Browse access Browse actions Browse actions_aid Browse 
   aggregator_category Browse aggregator_category_feed Browse aggregator_category_item
   Browse aggregator_feed Browse aggregator_item Browse attendance Browse authmap
   Browse backup_migrate_destinations Browse backup_migrate_profiles Browse backup_migrate_schedules

 * Would it be better to dump a new files set on the old DB and update, or revert
   to original, export, and import THAT file into new install and db? Or is there
   some other magic WP way?

 * Yes, I basically installed the new pages over the old db and tried to update -
   > worked as described above. Changed to old .htaccess -> worked as described 
   above.
 * I guess my next step is to install brand new everything and try to import old
   db into new install.
 * This is exactly why I recently switch from drupal on one site to WP because the
   update process was SO cumbersome and time-consuming.
 * Any further thoughts advice, much appreciated.

 * Ok. I have a used to host a site, [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com).
   The domain name went out of my possession. Now it’s back. In the meantime, it’s
   always been hosted under my main domain, as a subfolder, of my site, [http://www.mysite.com/dkjskdjkjsfhkjh34jh3dh34/](http://www.mysite.com/dkjskdjkjsfhkjh34jh3dh34/)
 * I used the domain search replace php file and it worked ENOUGH to get the front
   page visible. As I said, I followed the instruction explicitly, backed up all
   files and db, deactivated all plugins, copied newest WP files into subdirectory,
   changed config-sample file to my db and changed it to wp-config.php
 * What it shows is the main page fine. It displays the category links and pages.
   For example, catABC(10), meaning category10 has ten posts, which is correctly
   calculated.
 * When I click on that link, [http://www.mysite.com/dkjskdjkjsfhkjh34jh3dh34/category/catABC/](http://www.mysite.com/dkjskdjkjsfhkjh34jh3dh34/category/catABC/)
 * it displays the page 4040 error. It should show all records having that category
   tag.
 * When I click on the title of a post on the page, [http://www.mysite.com/dkjskdjkjsfhkjh34jh3dh34/2009/12/my](http://www.mysite.com/dkjskdjkjsfhkjh34jh3dh34/2009/12/my)
   post title here/
 * it displays the 404 page error.
 * Many thanks.
