Hopefully nothing else breaks because of it. :/ * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Better WordPress Google XML Sitemaps (support Sitemap Index, Multi-site and Google News)] sitemapindex.xml produces WordPress 404 page, log is empty](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sitemapindexxml-produces-wordpress-404-page-log-is-empty/) * Thread Starter [lightnb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightnb/) * (@lightnb) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sitemapindexxml-produces-wordpress-404-page-log-is-empty/#post-5477573) * Thanks! I tried going to Settings > Permalinks, but there was no flush option. I did save changes though and that must have triggered the flush, because it now shows up. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Better WordPress Google XML Sitemaps (support Sitemap Index, Multi-site and Google News)] sitemapindex.xml produces WordPress 404 page, log is empty](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sitemapindexxml-produces-wordpress-404-page-log-is-empty/) * Thread Starter [lightnb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightnb/) * (@lightnb) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sitemapindexxml-produces-wordpress-404-page-log-is-empty/#post-5477514) * Is that something where WordPress manages an .htacess file for you? We don’t have .htaccess enabled, we set rewrite rules manually in the host config. Are there rewrite rules that I need to set for this plugin to work? * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Converting MS install from Apache2 to Nginx](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-ms-install-from-apache2-to-nginx/) * Thread Starter [lightnb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightnb/) * (@lightnb) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-ms-install-from-apache2-to-nginx/#post-4860782) * Update: I’ve updated WordPress to 3.9. When I remove all the wordpress rules from nginx, I can go to `/wordpress/` and get the master blog, and I can also log in to the master blog an navigate through the control panel (mostly). * Problem 1: In the master blog, sometimes the link goes to `/wp-admin/network/` where it should really go to `/wordpress/wp-admin/network/`. On apache, this was fixed with: * `RewriteRule ^/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) /wordpress/$1 [L]` * ….which just silently redirected to the right place. * My attempt to do the same with Nginx: * location ^~ ^/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) { try_files /wordpress/$1 =404;} * Produces a 500 response with the error: “rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to “/index.html””. * Problem 2: * I haven’t been able to make a rule set that does what the Apache rules did: * ``` RewriteRule ^/blog/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) /wordpress/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/blog/(.*\.php)$ /wordpress/$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/blog/(.*) /wordpress/index.php [L] RewriteRule ^/blog/tag/(.*)/ /wordpress/index.php [L] I also can't make it take precedent over the pattern rule: location ~ ^/([a-zA-Z0-9\-\_]+)/$ { try_files /cache/$1.html $uri $uri/ /other-index.php?rt=$1; } which is too greedy. I've tired using ^~ on the /blog/ rule without success. ``` * Forum: [Alpha/Beta/RC](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta/) In reply to: [500 Internal Server error on css,js files on 3.5 RC3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-on-cssjs-files-on-35-rc3/) * Thread Starter [lightnb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightnb/) * (@lightnb) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-on-cssjs-files-on-35-rc3/#post-3243187) * I just tried a fresh install from the beginning and still have the same issue. The “main” site at [http://www.site.com/wpsa/](http://www.site.com/wpsa/) loads fine, the sub sites at [http://www.site.com/wpsa/anything-else](http://www.site.com/wpsa/anything-else), load the page but not the JS or CSS files. * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Trouble converting single site to multisite -> phantom redirects](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-converting-single-site-to-multisite-phantom-redirects/) * Thread Starter [lightnb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightnb/) * (@lightnb) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-converting-single-site-to-multisite-phantom-redirects/#post-3226634) * To move content from the main site to another multi site: * 1. Download the WP importer from here: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-importer/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-importer/) and copy to your plug-ins directory. 2. Go to the main site in your WP admin panel, adn go to the plugins tab. 3. Find the importer plug and click network activate. 4. Switch to the site you want to export then choose tools, export. Save the file to your computer. 5. Switch to the site you want to import to. Choose tools -> import -> WordPress. Select your xml file from your computer. Map authors when promoted. * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Trouble converting single site to multisite -> phantom redirects](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-converting-single-site-to-multisite-phantom-redirects/) * Thread Starter [lightnb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightnb/) * (@lightnb) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-converting-single-site-to-multisite-phantom-redirects/#post-3226633) * OK, for other people having issues with themes not appearing when using multi- site: First, you have to go to My sites (at the top left) -> network admin -> Dashboard. Then choose the “themes” tab on the left. All your themes should appear here. Check the themes you want available to your network of sites, then in bulk actions, choose “network enable”. Now when you go into a site to set the theme, the theme should now appear. * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Trouble converting single site to multisite -> phantom redirects](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-converting-single-site-to-multisite-phantom-redirects/) * Thread Starter [lightnb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightnb/) * (@lightnb) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-converting-single-site-to-multisite-phantom-redirects/#post-3226622) * 1. The root, [http://www.domain.com/](http://www.domain.com/) is not a wordpress site nor powered by wordpress. So we would have: * [http://www.domain.com/blog](http://www.domain.com/blog) -> WP multisite 1 [http://www.domain.com/blog/name-of-post](http://www.domain.com/blog/name-of-post) [http://www.domain.com/blog2](http://www.domain.com/blog2) -> WP multisite 2 [http://www.domain.com/blog2/name-of-post](http://www.domain.com/blog2/name-of-post) [http://www.domain.com/forum/](http://www.domain.com/forum/) -> a forum like PHPBB [http://www.domain.com/](http://www.domain.com/) -> A stand-alone home page * 2. Is there a resource for the changes that need to be made to make old themes work? Bare minimum, if I don’t care about new features. * 3. From the WP admin or in the database? * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Trouble converting single site to multisite -> phantom redirects](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-converting-single-site-to-multisite-phantom-redirects/) * Thread Starter [lightnb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightnb/) * (@lightnb) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-converting-single-site-to-multisite-phantom-redirects/#post-3226570) * OK, I’m running into some issues. * 1. I’m trying to create a blog at the URL new-domain.com/blog/. When I use “blog” as the slug, I get: * “The following words are reserved for use by WordPress functions and cannot be used as blog names: page, comments, blog, files, feed”. * That’s nice, but I _insist_ on `http://www.domain.com/blog/` being the path to my blog. So, put dummy text here in the form and replace it in the database? * 2. My custom theme which is in the wp-content/themes directory is not showing up in the control panel. The other themes show up and I can download new themes and they show up. Are there compatibility difference between v 2.x and 3.4? * 3. My existing blog posts, etc are attached to the /wordpress instance. I need to move them all to the /myblog2 instance. /wordpress should be an empty dummy. I can’t seem to rename /wordpress in the admin because its the default. So how do I get all of the contents from the original single blog into a non-default instance with a multi blog? * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [Trouble converting single site to multisite -> phantom redirects](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-converting-single-site-to-multisite-phantom-redirects/) * Thread Starter [lightnb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightnb/) * (@lightnb) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trouble-converting-single-site-to-multisite-phantom-redirects/#post-3226564) * OK, I found “siteurl” and “home” options in the options table in the database and corrected them to my main site. I’m now able to login. I’ll post back if/ when I get sites working. Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total)
