Thanks for replying Esmi.

Unfortunately, I can’t be reliant on a plugin for this in the first instance. My stakeholders have already criticized the “just plugin it” solution culture with WordPress, so we need to address the questions above with separate installs etc rather than rely on third party code.

Do you know if MU allows you to run subdomains with the same content but different themes? Or, if a second install of WP is possible running off the same DB with a different theme?

I think what I may be best doing is to build up a home link with the $homelink variable, something like $homelink = '<li class="home"><a href="' . home_url( '/' ) . '"><img src="#" alt=""/>' . __('Home') . '</a></li>';

Thanks for the link Edward, I shall give that approach a try.

In my TwentyTenChild theme (which is just a copy of TwentyTen) I use this line <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?> that spits out the code above.

Hi Esmi thanks for replying. It might help, but I am not in a position to post the link at the moment.

I’m using out the box functionality of twentyten.

<ul><li ><a href="http://www.example.org" title="Home">Home</a></li>

is the standard html spat out by the template.

I need to know if it is possible to spit out

<ul><li ><a href="http://www.example.org" title="Home">Home<img src="image.gif" alt="" /></a></li>

only on the home link. I do not need this on any of the other links.

Is this possible? I’m looking in the functions and menu-nav-template but can’t see a hook.

Andrea do you mean create a theme framework from scratch or are you aware of an existing system that is in the right direction of localising?

With all the domain references in the site settings set to the mapped-domain.com, I’m still getting a javascript include in the source of mapped-domain.com showing as “mainsite.com”

For example
<script src='http://mainsite.com/?dm=3e7ea114b74a65&action=load&blogid=6&siteid=1&t=5365465128&back=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mapped-domain.com%2F' type='text/javascript'></script>

The reason I checked is because this morning I went onto the mapped-domain.com and got the original refresh problem, that the domain seemed stuck in a loop between the two.

Ah right I just read some of your links, Hi 🙂 I feel I’m a bit more up to speed now! (I too had a C64 when I was younger. I had endless days of fun spending three hours at a time typing code to make the screen flash different colours!)

Final question (and I should add, I will shortly purchase the support ebook. I’m looking to move my main client base to this setup so I feel it’s important to know how the foundations will be working)…

The mention of CNAME has me curious. Is this just like an extra step to patch the subdomain back to the main IP?

Setting up a subdomain as a main cpanel account is not a problem, I can do that fine.

Thanks for the links and all your advice.

Ah forgive me, I was under the impression it was a paid version of the plugin from the author. I’ll take a look at your books 🙂

From early testing it seems to have resolved the domain issue. Nice one Andrea!

I’ve got a few more questions related to the multi-domain setup. Am I best to ask them here, or should I be starting a new post per question?

Eg, how many domains can the standard install handle and how does it handle the redirects? I’m thinking about setting up all my clients in this manner. In theory if I’m to take on 500 clients, will I have to look at a more stable DNS / .htaccess setup to keep the whole thing ticking over?
