@scott – i was about to create a gist when i got an idea to use Notepad++ to compare the actual files myself … so i downloaded pods and leaflet-maps-maker plugins from wordpress.org and then downloaded the plugin files on my server and compared them locally …

conclusion = never mind as Notepad said the files were identical … meaning the pods/includes/general.php file (v2.4) on my server and the one from wordpress.org were identical … ditto for the leaflet-maps-marker file …

as fyi, i had re-run Wordfence scan this AM and it still complained about plugin files but this time around it did not show me the files nor the changes it saw like last night … too bad i did not think to take a screen shot last night of the changes Wordfence was showing …

@dlmweb – you might want to do similar as i in pulling down file from your site and comparing it locally to what is in zip from wordpress.org … if you don’t have Notepad++ (and are on windows) you can download here -> http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ … then go to Notepad -> Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> Show Plugin Manager and that will show a bunch of available plugins … check box for the Compare plugin to install, restart Notepad, then load the two files and see if there are any differences …

ditto here – when i look at the activity logs, they aren’t much help either in that they say a file appears to be malicious but does not say which file name (nor folder path) thus impossible to track down and double check (see below – partial clip from activity log – e.g., http://mysite.org/?_wfsf=viewActivityLog&nonce=0888e8f951) …

okay – i’ll take a stab at it as i’ve been testing both and took me some time to get my head around them … my sense is that both of these are GUI wrappers around core network functions … i say this because first i installed wp-multi-network and had issues … so then i deactivated and turned on networks-for-wordpress and tried my steps again but this plugin had tooltips that gave me some clues about the errors of my ways in previous plugin … plus this plugin also has a nifty little “check / test” function that allowed me to test the vars i entered to see if i got a green light … once i figured it out (parking domains within networks of networks that is on a multisite wp network) then i went back and deactivated both plugins … i found that my networks still resolved … now maybe if i waited two days or so to flush DNS cache i might have gotten different result but i don’t think so … it appears that once the network is created, it stays active even if the plugins are deactivate … which kind of makes sense as both of these plugins allow you to move sub sites from one network to another and then delete a network … so then i went back to wp-multi-network and reactivated that to see if it would conflict with the settings i had used with networks-for-wordpress and voila – if found all the same info and honored those networks … hence i thought “okay – this is akin to Justin Tadlock’s Members Plugin where he says it is more of a wrapper / gui for core features burried deep within WP” thus my sense is both of these plugins are similar -> wrappers for core features …

while i’m at it and for what ever its worth dept … i was a bit confused on the whole path thing but essentially both plugins are asking for four pieces of info ->
Network Name:
Network URL and path
Create a Main Site
Main Site Name

and to go back further, here is outline of my success steps ->

a) mothership domain … lets call the WP multisite network mothershipnetwork.com … and lets say i want to create a new newtork on mothershipnetwork.com called snoopy.com and have snoppy.com resolve to that new network within mothershipnetwork.com as it’s own domain plus be the root for any sub sites i might add to snoopy …

– note i am using subfolders and not subdomains but process should be similar …

b) start at server … using cPanel i went to mothershipnetwork.com and parked snoopy.com …

c) then i went to mothershipnetwork.com and used either plugin to create new network with the following settings ->
– Network Name = The I Love Snoopy Network (note it appears regardless of which plugin you use, one cannot change the network name once assigned)
– Network URL = http://snoopy.com and the path is /
– Create a main site = checked
– Main Site Name = Snoopy.com

and voila – new network created that resolves to snoopy.com … then i used either plugin to move sub sites from mothershipnetwork.com over to the snoopy.com network … say one of the sites was called speaks … so then i log out of mothershipnetwork.com and log into snoopy.com/wp-login.php as super admin, give speaks a theme, tweak a tad, and voila – now i have http://snoopy.com/speaks/ as an active sub site on the snoopy.com network which resides on the mothershipnetwork.com core WP multisite network …

hope this helps somebody as it took me longer than i’d care to admit to figure this out … but having figured it out -> Big Kudos to all of those plugin authors for both of these as they ROCK (or at least i think as now i’ve got to test the users, uploads, plugins, etc for thorough road test but so far so great :>)

PS – i did figure out a hack to plugin that allows only logged in users to flag resolved or unresolved … code below … cheers!

changed this file -> p2-resolved-posts.php
modified this function -> function p2_action_links()
changed line 417 to this ->

/* CS Modification - show links for only logged in users - original code was one line -> echo $output; */
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
	echo $output;
	} else {
	echo ' | <a href="' . wp_login_url() . '" title="Log in to Flag">Flag</a>';
	}

result = essentially just shows the word “Flag” preceeded with dividing line, with the word flag being linked to login page for those not logged in … if logged in, goes back to normal per original plugin authors and shows the various links to make a post resoloved, unresolved, etc …

Hey Andrew – great plugin and really impressed thus far … reason for chiming in is i think a conditional is perhaps best when adding to theme files – e.g.,
`
<?php if ( has_action( ‘yourls_display’ ) ) { do_action(‘yourls_display’); } ?>
`

the other thing, and perhaps this is off topic a bit, i’m really looking to get the YOURLS short url to integrate with my post’s social sharing icons … currently using another plugin that allows for Blitly integration and wonder if your plugin could to a wp_get_remote to pull the sharing links that YOURLS provides ..??.. since at the end of the day, i would like my short links to really be default shared when people click on sharing icon in WP post footers but i digress …

thanks again for another Winning Norcross Plugin :>) cheers – chuck scott
