I was told I could use switch_to_blog function within my script. I want to switch to blog 5.

This is the shortcode I use to fetch the user_id, just need to get the site_id passed through it. Would I use switch_to_blog in this case?

add_shortcode('user_id_favorite_images', 'user_id_favorite_imagesCBF');
	function user_id_favorite_imagesCBF($atts){
	    if (is_admin())
			return;
					
            extract(
    			shortcode_atts(
    				array(
    					'uid' => ''
    					), 
    					$atts
    			)
			);
			
	    if ( $uid == '' || !($uid > 0) || !($uid >= 1) )
			return;
			
		$curUserID = $uid; 
		
		$mam_my_favorite_images_arr = get_metadata('user',$curUserID, 'mam_my_favorite_images_arr', true);
		
		$mam_my_favorite_images_arr = $mam_my_favorite_images_arr ? $mam_my_favorite_images_arr : array(); 
		
		$media_cats_terms = get_terms( 'media-category');
	
		
		if(count($mam_my_favorite_images_arr) > 0 && !empty( $media_cats_terms ) && !is_wp_error( $media_cats_terms ) ){
			
		foreach($media_cats_terms as $media_cat_term){
				$image_posts = get_posts(
					array(
						'posts_per_page' => -1,
						'post_type' => 'attachment',
						'tax_query' => array(
							array(
								'taxonomy' => 'media-category',
								'field' => 'term_id',
								'terms' => $media_cat_term->term_id,
							)
						)
					)
				); // image_posts
				//echo '<pre>'; print_r($image_posts); echo '</pre>';
				if(isset($image_posts[0])){
				    
					$gray_counter = 1;
					foreach($image_posts as $image_post){

					if( false !== array_search($image_post->ID,$mam_my_favorite_images_arr)){
						$image_id = $image_post->ID;
						$flag_wrt_img_uid = get_metadata('user',$curUserID, 'favorites_wrt_imageid_'.$image_id.'_uid_'.$curUserID.'_flag', true);
						$count = get_metadata('post',$image_id, 'simplefavorites_count', true);
						if($flag_wrt_img_uid && $flag_wrt_img_uid == 'adding_one'){
							$gray_counter++; 
							
                            $approveArgs = array('status' => 'approve', 'post_id' => $image_id,'user_id' => $curUserID, 'order'=>'ASC'); 
                            $approveComments = get_comments($approveArgs);
							//echo '<pre>'; print_r($image_posts); echo '</pre>'
							 if(isset($category_name) && $category_name == $media_cat_term->name){
					    } else {
					        
    					    $category_name = $media_cat_term->name;
    						echo '<h3>'.($media_cat_term->name).'</h3>';
    						echo '<ul class="favorites-list">';

Not sure where it’d go.

So I want to thank you all for your responses. This has all been very educational.

The good news? I got my question resolved!!! I was was watching YouTube videos on how to set this all up. I now understand that that the subdomain that gets added into my network site needs to be free of a WordPress installation, a database, and needs to be set to /public_html/ and not to a directory within public_html, say /public_html/yoursite within my cPanel.

It’s now showing the “My Sites” at the top of my dashboard inside this subsite, so I know it’s working!!! Now I can start building this site!!!

Thank you for your response.

My question for further clarification on the steps: do I set up the subdomain in my cPanel, wait for it to propagate, add it to the DNS settings so that it points to the parent domain, and then add the site within the network admin? I must not have WordPress installed on this subdomain in order for it to add? Once it’s added, does it somehow install WordPress on that new subdomain where I can access the dashboard?

Am I correct to to say that the subdirectory or subdomain must not have WordPress installed in order for it to be added successfully as a subdomain to my networked website?

If the subdomain already has WordPress installed and I want to add it to the main site, do I need to remove the installation and database (back it up of course and export the xml file) and then create an empty site with no installation, and reinstall with the files, database, and the xml file?

Yeah, I noticed that that video totally glosses over the part about setting up a subdomain on your host, waiting for it to propagate, installing WordPress on that subsite, and then adding it.

Somehow after they created the site in the network in the video, that site magically appeared (with a fresh WordPress install) after they clicked the dashboard. So I got lost after that step.

A lot of tutorials gloss over the setting up the subdomain as a part of your host, so it makes it kind of hard to set up.

I’m trying to follow this tutorial now, which seems to be more thorough:

It looks like I’ll have to take a more manual approach to this.

Thank you. I use Bluehost.

To answer you questions:

They told me that my server uses Ningix under Apache.
They told me that they can clear my RAM and website cache or I can do that through SSH.
They allow me to disable my CDN if needed.

@maxgx and @nemessis, I tried the code that was given in this topic: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/favorite-single-images-or-in-gallery/ but I can’t get the favorites button on each thumbnail after putting the code in my functions.php file. How did you put the images on your page to get the favorites button to appear there? Does this code still work? Does this code vary by theme? Do I need to configure the current Favorites plugin to get this work properly? Do I need to look at my media.php file for changes? Let me know. The other topic is closed.

Nevermind. I found out that my CDN was blocking my website with that script. It’s all resolved now.
