 * Hello,
    I’m sorry, I am pretty sure you have answered this question multiple 
   times but I have been searching for hours and can’t find an answer that will 
   help me.
 * Here is my problem, I have just set up a multi site network with pottsandpans.
   org and pottsandpans.org/performance. I want to show one of my albums on both
   sites but cannot get it to transfer to /performance. I have migrated the original
   install on pottsandpans.org to the blogs.dir/1/wppa as you have instructed in
   other posts, but /performance does not want to look there. It creates it’s own
   directory and keeps looking there.
 * What am I doing wrong?
 * Thanks,
    Matt

 * You can not share a single album on two sites.
 * You should Export the album, move the zip created to the depot dir on the target
   site and import it there.

 * So there is no way to share an album between the two sites? I really want to 
   have this album present on both sites and do not want to have to create 2 separate
   but identical directories.
 * Thank you so much for your quick response!

 * You can use wppa+ global to the multisite installation.
 * Put in wp-config:
 *     ```
       define ('WPPA_MULTISITE_GLOBAL', true);
       ```

 * which wp-config file? the parent site, or the child?

 * If you define WPPA_MULTISITE_GLOBAL all the blogs use the wppa+ album system 
   as if there was only one blog. So the files will reside in wp-content/uploads/
   wppa/ etc as opposed to wp-content/blogs.dir/[blogid]/wppa etc. Also the database
   prefix will be $wpdb->base_prefix as opposed to $wpdb->prefix in a normal multiblog
   site, so one set of db tables for wppa+. This way you can share one wppa+ system
   among all the blogs in a multiblog installation. This is what it says.

 * Thank you,
    That still has not fixed the issue, which really makes me think that
   I have something else messed up. I think I need to go through and do a fresh 
   install with the multisite from the beginning instead of trying to convert, because
   I am apparently missing something.
 * I am going to mark this as resolved, and when I have time to go through and do
   a fresh install I will come back an update this post if necessary.
 * Thank you for all your help!

 * Yes, good idea to start over. Use only the child blogs/sites, this will make 
   life much simpler.
