Have wordpress mu setup and running between strangebot.net and blog.strangebot.net trying to log-in at strangebot.net and be able to click on blog link to go to blog.strangebot.net and still be logged in with out having to log-in again. The same database is being used for both domains. Is a single log-in possible with this setup? If so how? Assistance on this much appreciated!

Yes, it should be logging you in to both at all times.

Posted 1 year ago #Cookies are accepted from sites and third party sites until they expire. No exceptions. However, I'd had cookies and history setup to be emptied upon closing of browser. For arguments sake I changed it to keep cookies all the time but it still asks to log-in to each place.

Posted 1 year ago #on additional note the database is setup so that strangebot.net is wp_ and blog.strangebot.net is wp_2 would that make a difference if they were both setup as wp_ instead?

No, don't change it. that's how it works.
I've signed up as a user, but I can't make a new blog to test it for you.

I'm trying to make another blog. :) you don't have that option turned on.
user level has no relation to blog creation. And yes, I'm not logging in on the second blog either as a pseudo-subscriber. What I'm checking is if it's something to do with the second site being named "blog".

Posted 1 year ago #What setting needs to be enabled for the blog creation for you to fully test it? As far as it being named "blog" it's an actual subdomain to read as http://blog.strangebot.net not a virtual one created by a plugging masking something as a subdomain. But I'm still curious to what you find on your initial probing.

Okay, THERE'S the issue.
Do you have another install at http://blog.strangebot.net ?
Did you make this blog in the backend of http://strangebot.net or not?
(also, so to Super Admin -> Options, scroll down to Registration options and pick "users can create blogs".
though if you did the other one manually, I'm betting you don't have wildcards set up.)

Posted 1 year ago #That probably is the problem that I was hoping was not. There is a quick install at blog.strangebot.net it wasn't as full as I'd remembered it at strangebot.net the blog wasn't made at the backened of strangebot.net if I'm interpreting the question right. Never ran across the wildcards saw them mentioned in the instructions but didn't know where to go to set them up. Can you re-point me to those instructions again and I'll give my hosting service a call too to find out about those on my hosting package.

Posted 1 year ago #Found the setup instructions for wildcards in the wordpress setup now I'm trying to find how to modify my dns settings accordingly to add wildcards with 1and1 hosting package.

Do you have a Super Admin menu in the backend of strangebot.net?
(I'm guessing so, as you have the right signup page).
Go to Super Admin -> Sites. Go to Add a new site and make one called "test". What happens?
-
Posted 1 year ago #Sorry for late reply. Yeah I see super-admin menu in background. "test" gets created in the backend but typing url in browser or looking at my cp (control panel) at 1and1 it's not there. A call to 1and1 later tells me why I've been having trouble finding information on it with my package with them. Currently "1and1" only supports wildcards on VPS, Dedicated Servers, and Cloud server packages. Some of these support wildcards directly others support them with a work-around.

Posted 1 year ago #The work-around that I'll be doing now though is to re-install WordPress MU and setup as Sub-directories instead of sub-domains and then use a plug-in to make it appear as a sub-domain. At least until I can afford to switch hosts and or upgrade packages to one that will allow wildcards. Thank you for all your help Andrea!
