In reply to: I want a single uploads folder, NOT organized by month/yearThis worked but it would be easier if the switch was put back under “media”!

In reply to: Archive a site but keep it publicI have the same need. At the moment I have set all the old users to subscriber so it’s not possible to write to the site any more. (If I delete the users all their posts will end up admin as the author.) But I don’t know how safe this is. I’d like archive to mean completely unwritable, which I hope would also mean unattackable.
By the way, what does “mature” mean?

In reply to: Change file upload folders on WordPress 3.0 multi-siteI can’t find Super Admin>Sites>Edit now Super Admin has turned into Network Admin. Now I found it thanks to another post: go into My Sites; hover over a site you want to change and click Edit. Pick the tab at the top that you want to use.

In reply to: Where to store header imagesPerfect. Thanks.

In reply to: Where to store header imagesThat sounds very useful. However, I looked at the plugin and there’s a minimal description of what it does and nothing on how to use it:
All CSS code is stored in wp_posts using a custom post_type of customcss. This allows us to use the built in revision engine. The CSS is filtered through CSS Tidy and KSES for security.
When I installed it I wasn’t any the wiser. I haven’t ever had a wordpress.com blog.By the way, your site replicator plugin, WP-Replicator, is a dream. It’s saved me so much time.

In reply to: Where to store header imagesI rather want to avoid using different templates for each site so I’ve called the image from within the header html of the my theme. I then used an absolute top-positioning to force the header text on top of the image. The only problem (in Safari) is a slight flash the first time the page is loaded when the text is drawn where it would normally appear (below the image) and then is quickly redrawn. I can’t think of another way to do it.
This is the code to call the image. The image is stored in the files folder of the child site.Get settings home gets the url of the child site.<img src="<?php echo get_settings('home') ?>/files/headerpic.jpg">Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: Where are upload files stored?Solved this one: I quit Transmit (my ftp program) and restarted and now I can see the folders OK. It’s useful to know the main site files are in wp-content. Thanks.

In reply to: Where are upload files stored?I’ve deleted the blogs folder and uploaded an image to the main site, but there’s nothing new in wp-content and blogs.dir is still empty. They must be going somewhere or the sites wouldn’t work.

In reply to: Where to store header imagesYes, it is different in each site.
I had thought to put the images in the uploads folder for each site and reference them from there. (Which is why I’m looking for the folder!).Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How to swop a theme per page on a siteYou then need to choose the new template when you create the page you want to show with the new template. Look for “default template” on the page creation page.

In reply to: strange flash upload problemAre you using the same computer to write to both sites? I read that the Flash uploader doesn’t work with Flash 10. If you are using different computers, it may be that you have Flash 9 on one and 10 on the other.
