    Oh man. I don’t know if that works the way I want it to either! Now I’m anxious!

    The point of the cookieless domain is to lower http requests to the server so astromono.com will load faster. I’ll test it and then we’ll see how it goes. Man… this is scary

    Thank you for clarifying that!

    Once it’s been added, what should I do? Say instead of making the CNAME point to http://www.astromono.com I make it point to a distribution on amazon cloudfront. Should I do any edits to the wp-config.php afterwards?

    Also, I found this information regarding using subdomains as cookieless domains:

    If your website uses the root domain (example.com as opposed to http://www.example.com ,for instance) to serve traffic and uses Google AdSense, you cannot make a cookieless domain as a sub-domain and MUST use an alternative domain name. The reason for this is that the Google AdSense code sets cookies on the requested domain and all sub-domains. They do not allow you to override this behavior.

    If my FTP is anything to go by, my domain root points to astromono.com instead of http://www.astromono.com, so I guess I need a separate domain to store my static files.

    I’m using the following values on a subdomain named “cdn.astromono.com”:

    Name: I’m leaving it blank for “cdn.astromono.com” (as per instructions on the dhost page there)

    Type: CNAME:

    Value: “www.astromono.com”

    I’m now quite certain I’m doing it wrong, since I created the subdomain and I’m trying to input this information on the subdomain DNS. I’m assuming I should be adding this info in the actual domain, am I correct?

    Thanks for your help, Mika. You’re like a caped crusader with hyper-patience superpowers!

    Hm. I tried creating a cname DNS record for the subdomain I created on dreamhost, but It’s not allowing me to do it.

    I have created DNS records before, but only on the main domain (astromono.com), but this time when trying it on a subdomain I get the following error:

    You already have a record for this name. You can't have a CNAME and any other record on the same name.

    Apparently, dhost doesn’t allow me to just leave the name of the DNS record as “cdn.astromono.com”, requiring me to enter something before the subdomain URL (i.e. something.cdn.astromono.com). Will that work?

    Thanks for your reply, Patrick! 🙂

    I’m assuming, once the subdomain points to my CDN URL (a separate one from the “main” I use for w3tc), I should like the cloudfront distribution to the s3 bucket that has the static files. Is that correct?

    Hm… now that you mention that the admin screens should only be visible to blog_id==1, I think this is assuming that the blog with buddypress installed in it hasn’t been changed in the wp-config.php

    In my case that wouldn’t be correct, since I added “define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 10 );” to my wp-config so I could change where Buddypress pulls its page info from. Before I did that, I had the issue where I would activate BP locally on subdomain id 10, but all the pages listed in the setting where being pulled from blog_id == 1, which is the default.

    I think it’s neat that I can define new achievements regardless of which dashboard I’m in. For me it makes it faster to manage.

    Well, check this! I went through my error log and found nothing.

    However, I started checking the other sites in my network (the plugin is network activated after all), and they all presented the same problem, so then I tried deactivating it on the network and just activating it locally per subdomain.

    The list was working locally, but only for that site on the network. So then I deactivated the plugin locally and then activated it in the network again. The site I tested this on had the list working still after network activating the plugin, but the others didn’t.

    I had to repeat the process with all my subdomains in the network to finally get it working, but it did the trick! 🙂

    Thanks for the assistance with this and for creating this amazing plugin!!!

    Yeah, I thought the same thing. I checked and there’s a ul.chzn-choices which only has a single

    • element (the li.search-field).
    • Further below, outside the ul.chzn-choices is the chzn-drop which has a ul.chzn-results in it, but neither of these has actual information in it.

      So weird! Would you like access to my install to check it when you have time?

    OH, ok that makes sense lol

    Anyways, the only JS files are those of the theme (which aren’t loaded in this case because I’m looking at a wordpress core edit screen) and the JS files included in two plugins:

    1. Genericon’d http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genericond/
    2. WordPress Achievements

    All other JS is from the WP core in wp-includes and wp-admin. The dev console doesn’t catch any exceptions either.

    Yup, I can use Chrome dev tools for that. Anything in particular I should be looking for?

    Also tried changing the theme just in case, but that didn’t change anything.

    When I type in the “press here to pick events” field I get a “no results match “x” where “x” is whatever I type in the field. It’s as if it’s just trying to do a search instead of showing me the list of available options.

    Also, for some reason when I upgraded w3tc all my config got lost, so do check that it’s even there to avoid any confusion later.

    I’m in the process of uninstalling the plugin (using a guide like this) by deleting a bunch of stuff the plugin creates in your wp-content folder.

    Alright, well this is the info I gathered and where I’m headed:

    The new update to W3TC basically re-writes a lot of stuff and therefore it isn’t just a simple upgrade to the previous version.

    I’m running multisite on WP 3.5.1 and believe me (ask Mika) I was getting really good results, but then I upgraded to 0.9.2.8 and I realized the plugin switched itself from being activated individually on each site to being network activated (i.e. only one config could be set up and I couldn’t activate it just per site in the network).

    After I saved the configuration file like the plugin asked me, the issue with the repeated sites in the “My Sites” list went away.

    According to this thread the issue is related to the plugin changes and it’s advised you save your current configuration (if you didn’t already before you updated) and then uninstall w3tc altogether and install a fresh setup of the new version.

    It’s a pain, sure, but it’s not all the w3tc dev’s fault. We just have to be more careful and maybe not be so hasty in upgrading in the future.

    Oh… right. Just started fiddling with it and all my awesome config went with the upgrade (yay…). On the upside it DID solve the issue I had here!!!

    Thanks, Mika! You’ve saved my butt twice this year and we’re not even halfway through the year!

    Somehow I just know my head will explode anyways when Buddypress 1.7 finally comes out. That’s… I’ll just be happy for this moment.

    lol! well, I did actually upgrade it, but I haven’t actually sat down to see if the changes in the new version affect my install.

    Any particulars I should be looking for?
