In reply to: Dual-language site, Multisite or not?Hey so I can’t show you what I’ve done since there’ve been delays and we’re not live. I forgot exactly what the best solution was, I think it was to use the multi-site tool after all, set up one site, make a new site and install the same theme, and then export the second site’s XML and import it in the first site and adjust any settings and rewrite the text as needed. Sorry I can’t be more help!

In reply to: Dual-language site, Multisite or not?I’m going to change it to a more normal environment (maindomain.com, maindomain.com/sitetobecopied/, maindomain.com/cloned) and report on if it works any better.

In reply to: Dual-language site, Multisite or not?Well in the blog copier plugin you linked to me, it let me select subdomain.myothersite.com/parentwordpressmultisite/childwordpresssite/ as the site to copy, and then it asked me what I want the address to be, and it started with subdomain.myothersite.com/parentwordpressmultisite/ and then in the textbox I put clonedfortranslation and it just made the new site as http://subdomain.myothersite.comclonedfortranslation/

In reply to: Dual-language site, Multisite or not?The main site is http://subdomain.myothersite.com/parentwordpressmultisite

In reply to: Dual-language site, Multisite or not?Okay, so the error messages can be ignored, but still if it doesn’t correctly set up the site, how can I use that plugin? I can’t seem to find any cloning plugin that works properly.

In reply to: Dual-language site, Multisite or not?Errors were like
Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /home/greenserv93/public_html/aiarchsubdomain.net/new/wp-content/plugins/blog-copier/blog-copier.php on line 296 and defined in /home/greenserv93/public_html/aiarchsubdomain.net/new/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 990And didn’t properly set a url for the site means, this site to copy is on a “subpage” like:
subdomain.myothersite.com/parentwordpressmultisite/childwordpresssite/
And I want to copy that child site to another address like:
subdomain.myothersite.com/parentwordpressmultisite/clonedfortranslation/
But it instead makes the site’s URL something like http://subdomain.myothersite.comclonedfortranslation/
But with a little more effort, just exporting and importing the site works well enough.

In reply to: Dual-language site, Multisite or not?That plugin didn’t work very well. It had a lot of errors during the copy, it didn’t properly set a url for the site copy, and it just was not good. Any other ideas?

In reply to: Dual-language site, Multisite or not?Hmm ok I’ll try that, thanks.

In reply to: Login problem.Are you using netregistry’s cPanel hosting plan? (That’d probably be best, and most similar to Bluehost and others that work great with WordPress.)
In mysite.wordpress.com there shouldn’t be those fields, but there should be those fields in mysite.com/wp-admin (which you just can’t access ATM). If the database however shows everything is fine, then I’m not sure why it’s redirecting you.

In reply to: Dual-language site, Multisite or not?UPDATE (if it matters): I did some experimenting.
Without WordPress Multisite: Exporting a site and making a new one, installing the same theme manually, importing the first site’s xml file, and then tweaking a few options seemed to copy the site pretty nicely.
With WordPress Multisite: It let me create additional sites as subdirectories. So the main landing page or redirect WordPress installation could be at the main domain, and then the site in one language would be made in a subdirectory. However, while the theme looked fine in the “main” domain site, some of the CSS seemed to get messed up going down to the subdomain-level site. Also NS Cloner sort of worked, it would only let me clone the second (subdirectory) site, but it didn’t really work until I went into the settings and fixed what the cloned site’s URL should be, and even then it didn’t seem to copy over the photos properly.
So I kind of liked the convenience of managing everything with the Multisite tool and using a cloner, but it seems to work better just using export/import the old fashioned way. But I’d love to hear input from you guys! Thanks 🙂

In reply to: Login problem.Does WordPress host your site, meaning is mysite.wordpress.com the same as mysite.com, or are they two separate things?
If they really are different, and you have a totally separate site (that simply runs on the WordPress.org platform), I’m guessing you accidentally made a setting that the site address is mysite.wordpress.com, so it thinks that’s where it needs to take you to log in. In Settings > General you probably have the wrong information in the WordPress address or Site address fields.
What you have to do is log in to your host’s control panel (like cPanel), edit the databases (like with phpMyAdmin), select the database you have for your WordPress site, choose the Options table, and the top row is siteurl. Edit that line to make the value correct (i.e. http://mysite.com/). That should fix it.
I hope this helps you, because I actually just messed up that setting and fixed it through phpMyAdmin just to write this answer. WordPress really needs to make the Site Address and WordPress Address options harder to edit.
