Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Proper Network Activation] Error upon adding new siteI had the exact same issue, today. I deactivated each plugin until I found that it was PNA that was causing the error.
Aside from the message, which I ignored, everything seems to be ok. But I’m a little hesitant, considering.
Should maybe we deactivate the plugin after we activate a new plugin, or will that defeat the purpose?
Thanks very much, and would appreciate some feedback if possible. Otherwise, great plugin, seems like a very useful fix.

In reply to: Child Theme with Default Page(s)Thanks Esmi!
I’ll check it out. Thanks for pointing me in right direction 😉

In reply to: Child Theme Page TemplatesWell, I want to create a couple of dedicated pages for an “about this network” page and for a membership site “join here” that gives them subscription options. I want these pages to exist on all the sub blog sites.
And I don’t want to have to enable them all manually or have the users have the ability to change the setting.
Hope that makes sense.

FYI, here’s an article on the subject I came across today:
http://theme.fm/2011/08/images-image-sizes-and-post-thumbnails-in-wordpress-1385/
I was able to set new thumbnail sizes for my theme and avoid TimThumb altogether.
Andrea,
Ha ha, for all your help, would be happy to!!!
Thank you again.

In reply to: Default Theme and NetworksAndrea,
Thanks so much. Saved me hours of frustration. Works perfectly! Also solves some other problems I was having.
Thanks also Ipstenu and Curtiss for taking the time to reply.
Here’s the link: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-new-blog-defaults/
Although the plugin name says it I just read through the FAQ’s and it’s important to note that the defaults only work on newly created sub blogs.

In reply to: Default Theme and NetworksCurtiss,
Thanks man, but I copied and pasted the entire comment blog into my child theme’s style.css and it still doesn’t work.
What I get, on any new sites I create in the network, in the Manage Themes page is:
Current Theme (then blank)
by (then blank)
OPTIONS:Widgets (then blank)
Followed by the desired child theme under “Available Themes”, with the full description etc from the quote block in the stylesheet.
I also removed the functions.php file from the child folder, just in case.
So, there’s no customization whatsoever in the child theme.
Still getting the above and a blank screen for the site.
Thanks.

In reply to: Default Theme and NetworksYes, it matters a lot, sorry. I changed the filename above. Typing before thinking 😉
No my theme’s ok, although on the stylesheet I only used the Template: twentyeleven line in the comments. If I select the child theme it displays properly. Really, at this point I’ve only made one change, to the child folder’s functions.php file. Other than that, though I’m going to make a lot more changes soon, it’s a stock Twentyeleven theme.
I’m stumped.
Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: Default Theme and NetworksOne more thing:
in the stylesheet of my child theme I used:
@import url('../twentyeleven/style.css');To pull most of the original css rules into my child theme.
Can that be the issue?
Thanks, sorry for the bump.
Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: Default Theme and NetworksWould love to have that beer, and buy you one too!
But after making that change to wp-config.php I get a theme that is unstyled. I’m testing on a local server and have set up a few sites, and oddly, one shows the full styling. But, when I go into the theme settings page it’s set to the parent Twentyeleven Theme.
When I go into the theme settings for the other sites it says:
The active theme is broken. Reverting to the default theme.
and, as expected, those “broken” sites have the child theme selected.
I do have both the project-child theme AND the Twentyeleven parent “Network Activated”. Should I deactivate the parent? Doesn’t the child theme need the parent to survive? (excuse the analogy 😉 )
Guessing here: is it a path issue with the change made to the config.php file?
Also, when I add a brand new site to the network, the admin page will show, but the site is a white blank. When I check the Manage Themes page on the new site, it shows a blank for the current theme, and says only: “Options: Widgets”, then shows the child theme as an option below.

Thanks Andrea and Ipstenu!
Wish I could do something to give back for all the generous advice. You guys are amazing.
I know it’s been ten months since you guys have visited this issue…
David, your original code worked great, except it does not pull the blog name for the parent blog (I should mention I’m using Sitewide tags to display all the posts in a loop on the main theme).
Any ideas?
I does display all of the other blog names.
Thanks so much.
J
Ok, so I kind of have that sorted. Thank you.
In your opinion, what’s better? Use TimThumb, or set custom thumbnail sizes and call those in the loop(s)?
As I change the thumbnail size for the child blogs, the size also changes in the Sitewide Tags Loop output, even after I try to customize the size through the main blog’s functions.php and loop using
the_post_thumbnail('my_custom_size');I’m not 100 percent sure but it seems like that means that the sub blog’s thumbnail settings are what affects the SWT plugin’s loop thumbnail size.
I’m a newbie to all this, so I’m not saying this from a position of authority, but would be cool if I could just set the thumbnail size on the Sitewide Tags settings page. Better yet, choose whether or not I want to select dimensions for the thumbnails or not.
Ipstenu,
Thanks, and I read through that.
One question: which thumbnail settings affect post thumbnails in the loop created by Sitewide Tags plugin?
The main site’s thumbnail setting or the sub blogs? Which settings can I rely on to change the thumbnail size to make them uniform?
Thanks.
