The question is, can I have somehow more blogs within one WP? Lets say my blog is <a href="http://www.myblog.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.myblog.com</a> - runs on WP. and I want to have one extra on it with url: family.myglog.com. Do I need to instal WP into family folder and have two WP on the hosting, or is it possible to run just one=just one admin.</p> <p>Thanks for the answer, the question is probably stupid, but I just cant find the answer anywhere.</p> <p>Jirka </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/271058#post-1079721 Thu, 21 May 2009 11:55:54 +0000 mlazarid 1079721@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>hi there,<br /> I am the developer of the plugin. The connect2site plugin connects to a single database. It does a custom query outside any loop and fetches the results using various criteria. I haven't tested it with MU. I guess there are some differences with standard WP. I will check it out. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/271295#post-1077778 Tue, 19 May 2009 12:40:22 +0000 figaro 1077778@http://wordpress.org/support/ <blockquote><p>Should I just give up and run each blog using a seperate install of WP? </p></blockquote> <p>If it's just a few, I would run separate wp installs. You will spend more time trying to patch something together to run them all with one install (and then maintaining that) than you will maintaining separate installs. With the auto upgrade feature, auto plugin install, and auto theme install coming in 2.8, it's really simple to manage multiple installs...the only drawback in duplicate code, but since the wp code is around 2mb, that's not even an issue. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/271295#post-1077740 Tue, 19 May 2009 11:39:02 +0000 andrea_r 1077740@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Honestly, you may find WPMU easier to work with and manage, but it's overkill for a handful of blogs.</p> <p>It can be harder to setup than either of the multi-blog things you've tried, and you would have to reinstall your main blog. It's a seperate program, not something to hook into WP. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/271295#post-1077493 Tue, 19 May 2009 02:25:17 +0000 kathleane 1077493@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Each blog would have different content and a different look. I'd like to avoid a seperate WP install though as it takes more to maintain and it's just cleaner to have one install and run all blogs from that. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/271295#post-1075831 Sat, 16 May 2009 18:19:52 +0000 samboll 1075831@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Do you want all blogs to look the same and have same content?<br /> If not - I suppose separate installs </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/271295#post-1075778 Sat, 16 May 2009 17:08:12 +0000 kathleane 1075778@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have several blogs that I would like to run using 1 WP install. Blog1 is already up and running. I would like to start Blog2 and Blog3. I've read lots in this forum about running multi-blogs, even tried WP-Hive &amp; Stephen Rider's Virtual Multiblog but couldn't get either to work. Both shut down my existing blog. I'm sure the error was on my part but I just couldn't get either to work.</p> <p>It's been suggested that I try WPMU but others have said that this app is only for those who are willing to spend time learning code &amp; maintaining a blog farm. I am really only looking for a simple way to maintain several blogs.</p> <p>Any suggestions, feedback, pointers to achieve this? Should I just give up and run each blog using a seperate install of WP? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/271058#post-1075183 Fri, 15 May 2009 18:30:00 +0000 kinkythought 1075183@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I'm debating between using wp-hive or WPMU for a small student blog network and this might be exactly what I'm looking for to bring in elements from the rest of the network on the main blog site. But if this is specifically for separate databases, I'm assuming it wouldn't work for wp-hive? (those multiple installs share the same database) is there any glaring reason why this wouldn't work for MU?</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/connect2site/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/connect2site/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/234682#post-964744 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 00:00:16 +0000 jebus 964744@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hey samboll,</p> <p>Yes, they're both Mac apps, and standard text editors. They're both listed in the Glossary link above.</p> <p>Turns out, that wasn't the problem. The error was coming from the database itself, specifically the wphive_hosts table. Unless you disable it, wp-hive will automatically add new hosts or IP's if they're pointed at Wordpress.</p> <p>In other words, I went to load my site on the new server by it's IP address, wp-hive thought it was a new host, and added that host and the table prefix to wphive-hosts. So, I wound up with a row in wphive-hosts with an IP address in the 'host' field and '69.' in the 'prefix' field. I'm guessing that wp-hive overrode the 'table_prefix' value in wp-config.php, sending '69.' to the database function, consequently throwing that error.</p> <p>I hope that all makes sense. If anybody's seeing this error while using wp-hive, check the wphive-hosts table to see if any of the prefix values in that table contain bad characters.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/234682#post-964737 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 23:41:21 +0000 samboll 964737@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>@ jebus</p> <blockquote><p>BBedit and Smultron</p></blockquote> <p>are those Mac apps?<br /> Are they a basic editor like Notepad? must use a basic editor </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/234682#post-964640 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 21:47:15 +0000 jebus 964640@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I'm having this same issue after a server migration.

I've installed Wordpress many times with no problems :), but I can't figure this one out.</p> <p>Basically, I set up the wp-config.php with no problems, and the program connects happily to the database. I know this because I can alter the settings and it tells me it can't connect to the database.</p> <p>However, when I do the installation (i.e. go to <a href="http://mtplummer.com/pv/wp-admin/install.php)" rel="nofollow">http://mtplummer.com/pv/wp-admin/install.php)</a>, it returns the following error:</p> <p><code>ERROR: $table_prefix in wp-config.php can only contain numbers, letters, and underscores.</code></p> <p>But I just have the standard 'wp_' prefix! Any thoughts?</p> <p>thanks,<br /> Matt </p>
