In reply to: [WordPress MU Domain Mapping] failing basic test under ordinary circumstancesupon re-reading my post, I’m sorry to have been unclear in saying “all the instructions for MU”… I mean that I have been through the WordPress Codex instructions for Create a Network and our site is confirmed to be working as a WP multisite, subfolder network.
I should also further clarify that we have the latest version of the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin installed (Version 0.5.4.3, that it is network activated, and that there are no other plugins installed on our site.
I have also seen a comment in this thread: Is there any way to make WPMU work with wordpress installed in a subfolder? which says:
Multisite will work in subfolders… what will not work in subfolders is the domain mapping plugin. It’s just how domain mapping works.
I don’t understand the comment above because the plugin page doesn’t indicate any such restriction that I can see.
In our case, subdomains weren’t our first choice because our main site has, and will have, only an IP address, with no domain to create subdomains of. My problem might appear trivial now, since sl.cosd.com and st.cosd.com are subdomains, but we will eventually be moving the content at these two development sites to two unrelated domain names that are currently hosting live content (so we can’t set them up now).
Please, in addition to any possible answers to my question above (why won’t this work)… if it’s true that WordPress MU Domain Mapping doesn’t work on subfolder installs, why wouldn’t this be mentioned in the plugin documentation? If this restriction does appear there, could someone please point me to the passage I’ve missed, so I can have some idea on where to go from here?

In reply to: multisite on IP-only site, moving to DNS later (httpd)It looks like the WP developer’s page How to Build a WordPress Multisite Network With Multiple Domains shows how to do this.
Some of this is a rehash of the WordPress codex, with the additional suggestion that two commercial plugins sold on the same site make the job much easier (or possible). Other web pages on the subject also point to the same plugins, so I conclude their use constitutes best practice.
I will probably follow their advice, but would still appreciate a response to this thread, to understand the general principles if they’re not explained by the plugin vendor.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Good Plugin — DOCUMENTATION is LACKINGThe simple answer to all previous questions: you don’t put the
[captchac ...]and[captchar ...]on the page itself. You put them in the Form field of the Edit Contact Form plugin settings page. It would have been nice for the author to tell us that. Good plugin in any case…Forum: Reviews
In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Good Plugin — DOCUMENTATION is LACKINGI just found this plugin too, and found the same problem as @jjsowers. The developer has simply forgotten to provide a complete example of how to use the plugin. This documentation page only shows the short-codes for the captcha itself, which right now appear on our contact page literally (i.e., no CAPTCHA displayed, no integration with the plugin).
Despite the embarrassment we are leaving this unevaluated code up on our web site as a demonstration and to help get an answer from the developer.
This is not a matter of opinion, or inability to read the instructions on the documentation page. We just need to see a complete example of how to use Really Simple Captcha with Contact Form 7, as it was obviously designed to do (just the developer forgot to tell us how to use it). I’ll be watching this page for an answer & will schedule a donation if and when we can make this work.
