I have installed WordPress MU, I am using the Multipost MU plugin, to create a site and keep the same posts and pages from one to the next. However, once a site is created the content will not update if the main sites pages are updated.
Basically, I want the sub-directory pages to automatically update if the main site pages are updated. Not the posts. I have a gallery and pages that all share the same content, I don't want to have to do an update 27 times :)
You installed WordPress Multisite, not MU, and yes, it matters (and YES, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multipost-mu/ needs to update their doc ;) )
once a site is created the content will not update if the main sites pages are updated.
So you have a page you made via MultiPost, pushed it to all the sites, and it doesn't update? I'm assuming via this method:
If the "master post/page" is edited or deleted, all multiposted copies will also be edited or deleted.

Here's the situation, the client wants to have "/cities" for each business location, but retain the main site pages on all the navigations. So I do not have a dynamic navigation. I must change the IDs in phpmyadmin to match the navigation, which breaks the Multipost because I changed the ID. Any other suggestions?
I would just make a template to change business names, but the sidebar and footer changes when I leave a city page, which they can't. It might be a cookie issue as well. I'm not sure on this one....
Thank you for your time.

Why not hard code the pages into the theme for navigation?

Why not hard code the pages into the theme for navigation?
Because all of the main navigation links will point to the main site and some of the footer information and other info will have to remain the same, once you have entered in your zip code. So the site will become "your area" and that must carry on throughout the site. That's where the cookies question comes in. It's a company with multiple locations that sell products, the main pages will always be the same and the sub-directories will have their own sub-pages for local information.
I have spent plenty of time with WP, this just seems tricky to me.
Make sense? Thanks in advance.
A couple thoughts come to mind.
One is that you could use the WordPress MENU feature to manually point the static links static and the per-site links per-site/
Second, if you really wanted the exact same info, you could redirect the per-site pages to the main site.
Admittedly, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multipost-mu/ SHOULD work for that. Make the 'master' page on the main site, push it to the kiddies, have a beer. If that's not acting as it should, it's either conflicting with something on your site, or you don't have all the sites checked in the multipost options for the page.

hardcode the full URL, not the page IDs.
You must log in to post.
