In reply to: Updating an existing site to WordPressI have done exactly what you want to do. Several times.
That experience has made me a real fan of this technique: http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install
I really love the rapid switch you can do using this approach. Including backout of a failed new site.
As you will see, downtime is very short because all you have to do is change index.php and .htaccess in /public_html/
Not that there is nothing else to do, but the rest can be done in advance.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [My Private Site] Saving Settings does not work for custom login siteI just checked on my Test Network site. Both Network Activating the plugin and Activating it just on the Site I was testing on. I actually get two error messages — the same error twice — when I enter the “Custom Login page?” checkbox and leave URL blank. Likewise, I get two warnings — the same warning twice — when I enter the “Custom Login page?” checkbox and enter a valid URL:
“Landing Location changed to “Omit”, recommended for Custom Login pages. See Advanced Settings to Override, but please read Warnings first.”
I am using WordPress 4.1.
Only thing I can suggest at this point, to let me re-create your problem, is to get a list of all your plugins that are activated for the Site where you are testing, and which ones are Network Activated and which are Site Activated. I’m not going to worry about Themes as I’m not aware of any that effect the Admin panels.
I should also warn you that I’m away for a large chunk of the day today, so I’ll respond when I can.

In reply to: [My Private Site] Saving Settings does not work for custom login siteBecause of time differences, I am just seeing this now. I will investigate and report back here as soon as I have any useful information.
Thanks for the interest!

In reply to: [Multiple Themes] Different page theme, same menu. Its possible?Because Menu is a Theme Option, the best that I can suggest is reading the “Changing Theme Options” section on the Theme Options tab of the plugin’s Settings page. It explains some workarounds that may or may not work depending on the Themes being used.
Unfortunately, the plugin itself does not allow you to change Menus for each Theme.

In reply to: [My Private Site] PERFECTION!Yes, unfortunately, some plugins and themes were written as a student project by someone who went on to bigger and better things. Or, worse yet, realized how poorly it had been coded and abandoned it as unsalvage-able.
Mostly though, WordPress changes over time, and 2+ year old plugins may only work with 2+ year versions of WordPress, which IS a security nightmare.
One rule of thumb that is helpful: set WP_DEBUG to TRUE in wp-config.php when activating and testing a new plugin. You may see some messages that warn you of potential issues.
Again, sorry that I could not help, but I’m a retired programmer who needs to watch his stress levels.

In reply to: [My Private Site] PERFECTION!Thank you for your great review!
The suggestion you offer is a good idea, but my experience with another plugin tells me that it is not practical for me personally to expand beyond a specific functionality for each plugin. I am just not equipped to support complex software.
At the moment, the jonradio Private Site plugin does not get involved in altering either the login process or the registration process itself, but simply forces Login based on the plugin’s Settings.
On the other hand, if you ever find (or build) a free plugin that gives you that specific functionality, I will be more than happy to help you overcome any problems you may experience with my plugin.

In reply to: Site is distorted & not showing theme in SafariCross Browser Compatibility is an issue with some Themes. Since you are using a Paid Theme, you should be talking to the Theme Author about it.

In reply to: display latests postThis is likely a Theme-related issue. What Theme are you using?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [My Private Site] Plugin Not Working On Buddypress PagesI tried locating, installing and activating all 60 of those plugins, but discovered that at least a dozen of them were Paid Plugins, which I have no access to. Nonetheless, I did some testing and my plugin worked fine with all of the free plugins activated at once. Though, of course, I don’t know what Settings you had specified for each of those 48 plugins.
Because it looks like the problem may be with one of the Paid Plugins, and because there are so many plugins involved here, I think I’m going to have to say that my plugin can’t support this particular collection of plugins. Because even if I could find and solve the problem, I have no access to the Paid Plugin(s) for future testing, with both new versions of my plugin and the Paid Plugins.
Sorry that I was unable to help.

In reply to: [My Private Site] Can a redirect be caused by a theme?Yes, Themes can do things just like Plugins do that can cause incompatibilities with Plugins like mine. As a Paid Theme, I’m not going to be able to test and debug this problem on my test systems.
Assuming we are talking about a Redirect Loop, rather than a simple (single) Redirect, the best place to start, and where you should “never” see a Redirection Loop from my plugin is with my plugin’s settings set as follows:
- No checkmark in “Custom Login page?”
- “Where to after Login?” set to “Omit”…
Please let me know if that works, and we can talk about how to proceed.
Thanks for patience. Redirection Loops are an issue that has proven a huge challenge with my plugin, that still needs a lot of work. To the best of my knowledge, it is only an issue when Custom Login Page is set, however.
