I don’t know why this issue is marked resolved, as I have seen no further response to my last question.
You’re blocking your own server’s IP from connecting to itself which breaks your cron jobs and wordfence scanning. Don’t do that.
Regards,
Mark.Can you explain how to modify the /wp-admin/.htaccess file to accomplish that, while still blocking anyone else from accessing wp-admin?
Has this plugin been abandoned?
The wp-admin folder is not password protected;
however it does include an .htaccess file with
the following content:
———————–
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from nn.nnn.nn.nn
———————–
The “nn…” represents my IP address.
Do you recommend that I should modify
or delete this .htaccess file?I updated to Wordfence 5.0.7 today.
When I click to start a scan, nothing happens.Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: WP 3.0.1 Multisite subdirectories cannot access backendI plan to delete the entire blog and start from scratch, as it seems that deactivating and deleting the YD Network-wide options (3.0.1) plugin does not remove its settings, and I want to avoid problems it may have caused. Do you know of any other plugin that purports to offer similar functionality, i.e., replication of selected settings from main blog to secondaries?
What I will do is to create a new main blog and a couple of secondaries with NO plugins, then add plugins one at a time until something breaks, or, maybe, it all hangs together.
Thanks, again, for your generous support.

FanHappy/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2010/10When I view the file there, it has the expected appearance.

I just uploaded another custom header, named CelineDion4.jpg.
Then from this URL: http://fanhappy.com/celinedion/wp-admin/upload.php,
when I click Edit under the filename CelineDion4.jpg,
I am taken to http://fanhappy.com/wp-admin/media.php?attachment_id=13&action=edit
where I see a picture of Keith Richards.
Thus I am unable to discern the URL of CelineDion4.jpg.
This is another example of the “backend” problems I’ve been having, i.e., even though I logged in via the celinedion subdirectory, some of the menu items cause me to stray into the main blog’s territory.

I am inclined to agree that my propagating the Permalink structure from the main blog to the secondary blog, then changing it manually, may have messed things up. If you think it would cure the problem, I could delete the secondary blog again and recreate it without carrying over the Permalink structure.Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: WP 3.0.1 Multisite subdirectories cannot access backendI just had a chat with HostGator support that may help to resolve the issue:
———————————————————————–
HostGator: The path your theme is using is wrong.
It is looking for the image here http://fanhappy.com/files/2010/10/CelineDion3.jpg
There is no image uploaded there.
What I can advise is you need to look into the theme configuartion, it is looking to the wrong area for the pictures.Me: I guess the question is, where did that file go, and why is WordPress looking for it in the wrong place?
HostGator: It may be that permalink structures were changed for the upload path as it is looking for a file in a location that isn’t even on the server.
Me: On the main blog the Permalink structure is defined as /blog/%category%/%postname%/
On the secondary blog it is defined without the “/blog” prefix, but that was changed after the secondary blog was created.HostGator: Unfortunately I am not able to really troubleshoot this issue. The problem is that it is looking to the wrong place for files.
I would recommend contacting the admins back at wordpress.org and asking them how to modify the location it is looking to.Me: Do you think it would fix the problem if I deleted the secondary blog then defined its Permalink structure correctly from the first?
HostGator: It may but it depends on where the files are. I am not really able to provide support with this as it is not a direct product we offer.
Me: Do you have any way of telling if the file CelineDion3.jpg is anywhere on the server?
HostGator: The image is located at /public_html/FanHappy/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2010/10
Me: Thank you. With that information I may be able to get the issue resolved through the WordPress.org forum.

In reply to: WP 3.0.1 Multisite subdirectories cannot access backendYes, that is the exact URL that was displayed in my browser address field when I uploaded the custom header.
Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: WP 3.0.1 Multisite subdirectories cannot access backendAbout ten hours now since I uploaded the header, and it’s still blank.
Can you recommend another host where I might not have so many problems?Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: WP 3.0.1 Multisite subdirectories cannot access backendI am still having problems inserting a custom header into the TwentyTen theme. A few minutes ago I uploaded a new header for the secondary blog at http://FanHappy.com/celinedion. When I visit the site the header is empty. Is there any reason why the change would not be visible immediately? I cleared my browser cache and also visited the site from another computer (that had never visited the site before) with the same result: blank header. My previous experience with this issue suggests that the new header will show up some time tomorrow.
Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: WP 3.0.1 Multisite subdirectories cannot access backendI went into Permalink Settings of the second site and removed the “/blog” term from the custom structure. Now I will know not to propagate that particular setting to other blogs as they are added.
I set up the network before I installed any plugins. After installing and configuring all plugins, I configured the YD Network-wide options plugin to replicate settings to new blogs. This step is supposed to alleviate the drudgery of setting dozens of parameters manually on each new blog. For the most part it works very well; however, I can see that it will take multiple trial-and-error attempts to figure out, eventually, which settings one should propagate. The author of the [em]YD[/em] plugin has stated that it’s largely guesswork, because there is no recognized discipline as to how plugins are coded, or how their parameters are denoted.
I still do not understand how the “backend” facility is supposed to work. When I log in to my main blog and select the backend link under a subsidiary site, my admin panel exposes a mixed bag of items, some of which pertain to the subsidiary blog, but also some that belong to the main blog. Is that the way it’s supposed to work?

In reply to: WP 3.0.1 Multisite subdirectories cannot access backendYes, I see my custom header is there today. Last night it was blank… perhaps a browser cache issue? I tried uploading my custom header multiple times with three different browsers, and got a blank graphic each time.
I don’t know what to do about the Permalinks. I selected the custom structure: “/blog/%category%/%postname%/” on the Permalink Settings page. All the options except the Default have the term “/blog” hard coded, so I don’t see how I could remove it. I don’t think any of my plugins have anything to do with Permalinks.
Here is a list of plugins I am using:
Caffeinated Content for WordPress (3.42)
cbnet Ping Optimizer (2.3.3)
Google XML Sitemaps (3.2.4) [not activated]
Max Banner Ads (1.4)
Platinum SEO Pack (1.3.4)
Quizzin (1.01.4)
Secure WordPress (1.0.4)
Ultimate Google Analytics (1.6.0)
Wordpress Firewall (1.25)
WP-SpamFree (2.1.0.7)
WP Security Scan (2.7.1.2)
WP Unique (2.7.0)
YD Network-wide options (3.0.1)Are any of these known to be incompatible with WP 3.0.1 Multisite?
Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: WP 3.0.1 Multisite subdirectories cannot access backendYes, I followed those directions, and copied the generated code into my .htaccess and wp-config.php files as directed. I presume that if I hadn’t done that correctly, the network wouldn’t have worked at all.
One clue I’ve gotten from a colleague who has used Multisite successfully is that when adding a new site, its email address should be different from the one associated with the main WP site. Is that correct? Nothing in the documentation I’ve seen says that is necessary.The domain on which I’ve been trying this is an addon domain (one of about thirty), not the account’s main domain.
The URL is http://FanHappy.com, and the one site I’ve added to the network is at http://FanHappy.com/celinedion. As you can see, it has the default post and page, and the default TwentyTen header that I have not been able to replace with my own, although that feature worked flawlessly on the main domain.I hope you can help me, as the Multisite facility would be ideal for this project if I could get it to work. I really appreciate your effort.
