@mbis Thanks for the feedback, but ironically, the code snippet does not work while your plugin works fine. In fact, I’ve used that code snippet earlier before I was searching around plugin solutions.

What happens is that the permalink changes for posts, but wordpress does not recognize it, thus when I click that post (thus call that permalinked url), wordpress directs to its own version. But,, since there is no post available on that post, WP falls back to the previous webpage, 404, or any relevant page that I predefined.

Guess WP changed its handling of permalink since the stackoverflow update. I also have spent some time to hijack what WP does for permalink direction, but in those case I usually rely on plugin solutions. For a person without dedicated time for software development, that’s a bit of waste of time.

For now, I will stick to your plugin and change our biz practice until I can find any better solution.

Again, newly published articles (not by multisite super admin, but by an editor) have WP’s default permalink. I had to re-run your above suggestion. Is there any way I can give you ‘debug’ for this?

But for new posts, it just goes back to WordPress’s default setting. Can you help me to set it for all new posts as well?

WP Multi Network – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org

I used above plugin to create another network within the multisite network. In the 2nd network of the multisite, which is basically a fresh network, though it is still in the same multisite, it worked without any issue.

I guess this may help you debug the problem.

It worked!!!! Thank you!!!!

@dbisupport Thx for the details. If I use the pro version, will the downloaded image files in the local folder be stored as it was with vanilla wordpress?

If so, guess I first have to buy your plugin to download all images in S3 and ask for refund. Is it how folder structure issue can be sorted?

@edward_plainview Thank you for the quick and detailed answer.

For the image part, I can understand that I still have to copy between subsites. As said, storage prices are not that expensive, so I will compromise with that part. It was not a huge issue.

But it seems that images that are uploaded within the post (not a featured image) is not copied by broadcast? is it so? I am not sure but after the simple test, I thought it coped images within the post as well. or is it just the image’s url?

For traffic redirection, I need to keep the subsites (real newspaper sites) running for local government’s regulatory issues. But when it comes to contents control and service to public, I would like to use the main site.

So far, my services have been fragmented and had hard time to have public recognition under a single umbrella. If it were not the regulation, I wouldn’t have the fragmented services, but this is my country I am talking about. What the hxxx.

In worst case, I am ok my people working in subsites, as long as all contents / traffic are gathered to mainsite. My only worry in this case is category. It would be great to assign subsite’s category to mainsite’s category.

I remember you had an add-on that broadcast from child to parent is also possible. After consolidation, I guess i shoot out drafts from parent to child and let my team work on the draft at child page. Once they are done, they can shoot back to parent (mainsite). Not my most wanted set up, but still I can control what is published. Again, in this case, matching category from one subsite to another is a key.
