    Hi latinoleader,

    The solution is relatively straight forward.

    The domain mapping plugin you require is: WordPress MU Domain Mapping by Ron Rennick. A fantastic and easy to use plugin. If you need any help, Ron’s support is awesome too.

    You will need to install the WordPress MU Domain Mapping from the Network Admin dashboard then network activate it so it can be accessed, configured and used by all sub-directory-sites individual dashboards.

    I uploaded the site main and child themes via the Network Admin Dashboard too. Use the Network enabled option with these too.

    In order that you may differentiate between them you will need to give each child its own unique name.

    I achieved this by renaming the child theme folders and the style css within each child. For me it was the first line – Theme Name: Site 1 etc.

    Then it really is just a case that you go to each sub sites dashboard and activate the theme/child you want to use.

    Hope this makes some sense and you get your head round it with relative ease.

    I found I was over analysing how it would all work to be honest. The multi-site idea felt a little daunting but once you get your head into it and start working with it, it really is a breeze.

    Thanks for the heads up, I’d forgotten all about this post.

    Hi Ron,

    I just came back to say thank you and mark the topic resolved which I can see you have already done.

    I can confirm that 1.7(b)2 makes the ajax issue just float away like a thing of the past.

    Beautiful!

    Serious note; you really went the extra mile for me Ron and your patience has been nothing short of awesome! Sincere thank you and best wishes with all your future work and projects.

    P.S This Plugin absolutely ROCKS!

    Sped..

    Hmmm, Thank you Ron, now trying to establish if this has already been implemented into BP 1.7(B1) or not. If it has, something must be broken?

    Sent the author of the ticket a tweet, with a bit of luck he will reply.

    Hello again Ron,

    Just a heads up to see if this sparks anything you may feel is related.

    If I add another sub-site via sub folder and do not configure a mapped domain. Post/edit activity & groups works just fine, yet ajax url remains the same.

    So cyber-networks.co.uk/new-site/activity has no posing/editing restrictions.

    As soon as I map a domain via the plugin cyber-newsite/activity I’m obviously hit with the problems because the domains don’t match.

    Thanks Ron.

    I have now gone back to the theme author due to THIS ticket. Pointed out to me by a member of the BP community.

    Biggest nightmare I ever had with an install this, really has beat me around the head.

    Thanks very much for all you help and advice! I will be sure to call back and let you know how I get on.

    Kind Regards.

    Can’t wrap my head round this Ron, would it not make more sense that it is in fact WP (WPMU)that is changing the URL?

    OK Ron, thanks.

    Do you think BP Multi Network may be an answer, if I were to change my philosophy on how the BP networks will work. ie. Separate BP groups/activity etc for each site.

    Would this combat the ajax and allow me to keep remote login switched on?

    How would this cope with bbPress?

    Just trying to figure a way around without blowing my mater plan into oblivion.
    Thanks

    Ahh, I already tried this approach with no success in terms of it resolving the issue – ajax link remains exactly the same within the mapped domain website.

    To be honest also, this really is not an approach I had wanted to take (Should it have resolved the issue). I had presumed that the whole reasoning behind adding enable WP Multiblog to the config was because it offers one login to multi platforms (Sites) for all registered users.

    I really love this plugin too and I don’t think there is any other solution out there that will address this matter for me.

    If I really have to, then of course I would disable redirect & remote login but it would appear even that does not resolve the matter for me.

    Do you perhaps understand why it does not?

    Thank you again for your time.

    Sounds like a great plan Ron πŸ™‚

    I just have no idea how to go about accomplishing such a feat?

    I know, I know, I guess I’ve just been added to ‘The bane of your life list’. Really sorry to put you out like this but is there any way you could perhaps elaborate a little? After all you did make it all sound, so very easy.

    It quite probably is, just I’m a bit of a numpty when it comes to getting my head around something the first time.

    Thanks.

    Not sure if this may help but it may be relevant?

    Child theme – functions-buddypress.php reads:

    /* Load the default BuddyPress AJAX functions */
    /* We are going to load the ajax from the BuddyPress plugin directory so we always use the latest version */
    require_once( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php' );

    Also found this tread, again, it may help.

    OK, thank you for the info,

    I tried that via: /wp-admin/network/site-settings.php?id= & successfully changed the admin url for cyber chat.

    Do I need to edit Domain & Edit under /wp-admin/network/site-info.php?id= too or will that just mess things up?

    I ask because I can still see the url you posted in cyber-chat source.

    Thanks again, for your time and patience.

    Hi Ron, Thank’s for the reply.

    I have BP Enable Multiblog enabled in wp-config.

    Full list of details and issues I’m dealing with, maybe this will help:

    WP Install – 3.5.1

    BP Install – 1.7 Beta

    WPMU Enabled (Sub-folders) – BPMB Enabled

    Domain Mapping Configured.

    Network Root = http://www.cyber-networks.co.uk

    Mapped Sub = http://cyber-chat.co.uk

    Current BP enabled Theme: Dynamix – from theme forest

    Mapped sub is managing to auto post updates (New avatar insertion etc) But I can not manually post any activity. I can also not delete any activity.

    Troubleshooting tried: Disabled all plugins – No effect

    In brief:

    Inability to add/delete into activity from a sub-site would appear to be directly linked to domain mapping, as when I revert to sub folder URL, the problem is removed.

    Hope the info helps for a better understanding. Cheers.

    Solved ‘With a little help from Andrea Rennick’ !

    Thanks Andrea πŸ™‚

    All seems to be working well, and each site in the network is using its own child theme ‘named to suit’ ..

    Theme updates suddenly became less daunting πŸ™‚

    Future proofing FTW

    OK, so the first thing I noticed was that as well as renaming child theme folder is that I needed to alter top section of style.css.

    Alter Theme Name to form Child Theme to Child Theme 1 Otherwise I would not know which one was which in the network. Will there be any adverse consequences to renaming them?
