   Hi everyone,

   Looking to do something that should be easy, but I can't seem to figure it out. I want to indicate a new blog_ID for the "main blog" so that I can select "post to main blog" and have all of the posts populate on the blog of my choice. Can someone show me where to find this bit of code? Thank you!

   Fill in a blog name instead of checking the post to main blog. SWT only creates a blog if the name you type in doesn't exist.

   Thanks, but filling in a blog name doesn't USE that blog - it creates a blog with that name as a subdomain of the blog you are logged in to. What I want to use is blogs.eastsideprep.org. If I type "blogs" into the textbox and I am logged into http://www.eastsideprep.org, it creates blogs.www.eastsideprep.org. If I am logged into blogs.eastsideprep.org it creates blogs.blogs.eastsideprep.org. SO I need to change the blogID somewhere in the php...but I can't find it.

   Does it look like this is the bit I need to change? If the "post to main blog" box is checked, then I want it to use blog_id 147 instead of what it is doing here...how?

   Ok, I fixed it by hardcoding the name of the blog in. Seems to work. Thanks for your help.

   nearlyjen, any chance you could explain what you did here, including code snippets, to fix this? I'm also using this plugin for a school multisite setup, and we seem to be encountering similar queries :)

   Hi Merkin - I'm away from work until after Thanksgiving, but I'd be happy to post it all for you when I get back! Look for it next Tuesday : )

    Hi - at line 242 I just changed the domain to be = to the name of the blog I wanted to use as the tags blog, and you can see the old code commented out after. This has worked without any problems so far.

    } else {
    			update_sitewide_tags_option( 'tags_blog_main_blog', 0 );
    			$tags_blog = $_POST[ 'tags_blog' ];
    			update_sitewide_tags_option( 'tags_blog', $tags_blog );
    			if( constant( 'VHOST' ) == 'yes' ) {
    				$domain = 'blogs.eastsideprep.org'/*$tags_blog . '.' . $current_site->domain*/;
    				$path = $current_site->path;
