In reply to: Creating a site in a sub-domainYou can install WordPress under either:
1. http://andrewmaccabe.com/yourfriendsite, or
2. http://yourfriendsite.andrewmaccabe.com1 is subfolder installation, & 2 is subdomain installation. You can create the folder under root directory, in most case, it looks like this:
“public_html/yourfriendsite”
If you want to use subdomain installation (2), then you need to do some work to add yourfriendsite as subdomain, and point it to the folder.
Depend on what hosting service you are using, (let’s say cPanel). When you install WordPress via the cPanel app, you should have a field to specify where to install WordPress. No matter which one you choose, 1 or 2, the result is the same. It all goes to yourfriendsite subfolder. The only difference is the URL accessing it.
If you install WordPress manually, I believe we don’t need further explanation.

In reply to: Update 3.9.1 to 4.0By default, you only get automatic update for minor updates. In your case, you should get automatic update from 3.9.1 to 3.9.2. You will not get automatic update to 4.0.
You may want to check the wp-config.php, and look for something like this:
define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', 'minor' );‘minor’ – means you will get minor security update like 3.9.2
If it is ‘false’, means you get no update.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Update data on multiple pages at onceWithout customization, the plugin I can think of is “Shortcoder”.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcoder/Here is what I think it should work for your scenario:
* Add a new shortcode in Shortcoder.
* Use the shortcode where you want to show the data
* Change the shortcode content in Shortcoder when you want to make changes to the data.So, make change in one place, get result in many different place.
I use shortcoder, but not in this purpose. Hope it fits your bill.

In reply to: Comments for Custom post typesThe answer is simple: when the custom post type is added, it doesn’t include “comment” as one of the supported features.
You may want to talk to the theme developer, or hack the code.

In reply to: [Stream] How to exclude a subdirectory WordPress installationThank you Frankie.
It is NOT multisite installation. It is just a separate WP installation in subdirectory belongs to a subdomain.
For example:
http://abc.com/ & http://sub.abc.com
sub.abc.com is located under root directory of abc.com. (Almost) All activities including file changes are tracked by Stream installed in abc.com.
What I am looking for, is a way to separate them. If I want to track sub.abc.com, I would prefer a separate installation on sub.abc.com.

In reply to: How to redirect an External Domain to a Sub-domainIf you want to host your friend’s site xyz.com on your site in the subfolder (abc). Here is what you need to do:
1. Add xyz.com as an add-on domain, and point it to the subfolder (abc). Most shared host allow you have unlimited add-on domains.
2. Navigate to this site:
https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
download the stable version 2.1.0, and upload it to subfolder (abc). For the sake of ease of use, I normally rename the file to sr2.php3. Access the utility: http://xyz.com/sr2.php. Replace
“http://www.abc.mysite.com” with “http://xyz.com”4. Test http://xyz.com
5. Delete sr2.php

In reply to: Editor Option Is Missing In My Dashboard?…If you are not the developer, it maybe disabled by the developer for good. It is a security practice.
You should be able to locate this line in wp-config.php:
define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true );remove it, or simply add “//” at beginning of the line to comment it out. You will get the dashboard editor back.

In reply to: Site gets spam by comments despite no way to enter comments@jdrenwick, Askimet doesn’t stop spam comment, it only marks the suspicious comment as spam. Spam comments still fill up your database.
Thanks @rossmitchell for the info, that’s very helpful.

In reply to: wp-admin seems disabled when using session_start() in wp-settingsWell, I don’t know for what reason you should change wp-settings.php. It could be overridden by WordPress update.
I use session_start() & session_end(), but in my custom function.php, and have no problem at all.
