   on and almost nobody notice you can vote twice.

 * I don’t get this. I periodically delete with a SQL query all these fields;
 * rating_ip
    rating_host rating_username pollip_ip pollip_host pollip_user
 * Ratings and votes won’t change.
 * My suggestion is to add an option to not log/store anything on the database and
   zero cookies. You can’t go more GDPR compliant than that, once for good.

 * Your polls plugin has a no logging option (yet it still stores IPs on the database).
 * Maybe you could add a working no logging option to both of them. GDPR compliance
   basically is “do not store any kind of user data, do not left any cookie”.

 * What about an option to disable IP/Hosting storing. Just blank this field.
 * I just emptied rating_ip, rating_host and rating_username from my database.
 * The most offending piece of code right now are cookies.
 * In the future, a new law will force them to go, all of them.

 * I actually have an idea to solve this 🙂 There is a way to generate a sitemap
   pasting some code like this one in your theme’s functions.php;
 * _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).
   The maximum number of lines of code that you can post in these forums is **ten
   lines**. Please use the [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/)]_
 * I didn’t try it yet but it could be useful to create a particular “eg_create_sitemap”
   function for each category that is assigned a new domain.
 * Regarding the searcher, I could send to you my website’s addresses so you can
   check yourself if you want. I have a list of two or three things that aren’t 
   working ok.

 * Hi Shelkie;
 * Did you manage to generate a minimu sitemap.xml in any other way?
 * BTW, I successfully installed my minimu sites online. Your plugin rock ass 🙂
 * I still didn’t manage to have some functions working though. I’m working on the
   searcher, it always report a “not found” message.

 * My htaccess are the default rules that WP generates whenever you do a fresh install;
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /parentweb/
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /parentweb/index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * Do you need to change anything so MiniMu works?
 * An update on the subcategories issue;
 * This;
 * [http://2ndDomain.com/category/2ndDomain/subcategory-for-2nddomain](http://2ndDomain.com/category/2ndDomain/subcategory-for-2nddomain)
 * …still doesn’t work
 * But it works whenever you substitute “2ndDomain” or you just remove it. This 
   works;
 * [http://2ndDomain.com/category/subcategory-for-2nddomain](http://2ndDomain.com/category/subcategory-for-2nddomain)
 * …and this works too;
 * [http://2ndDomain.com/category/sdfsdfsdfsdf/subcategory-for-2nddomain](http://2ndDomain.com/category/sdfsdfsdfsdf/subcategory-for-2nddomain)
 * It is like if your plugin put subcategories at the same hierarchical level than
   categories. If this is the case, I don’t dislike it at all, it is a nice feature.

 * Hi;
 * Perhaps the problem is that you are working with subdomains;
 * [http://minimu.smashlab.com](http://minimu.smashlab.com)
    [http://blog1.smashlab.com](http://blog1.smashlab.com)
   [http://blog2.smashlab.com](http://blog2.smashlab.com)
 * And I’m working with 3 different full domains;

 * Ok, let’s say that parent web is [http://minimu.smashlab.com](http://minimu.smashlab.com)
   and you create two categories for two new domains, blog1, blog2.
 * [http://minimu.smashlab.com](http://minimu.smashlab.com)
    -> category blog1 -
   > [http://blog1.com](http://blog1.com) -> category blog2 -> [http://blog2.com](http://blog2.com)
 * On my installation the equivalent to this;
 * [http://minimu.smashlab.com/category/miscellaneous-category/](http://minimu.smashlab.com/category/miscellaneous-category/)
 * …works ok. Tags like this;
 * [http://minimu.smashlab.com/tag/misc-1/](http://minimu.smashlab.com/tag/misc-1/)
 * …are working ok.
 * If I create a sub category for [http://minimu.smashlab.com](http://minimu.smashlab.com)“
   miscellaneous-category”;
 * [http://minimu.smashlab.com/category/miscellaneous-category/miscellaneous-category-for-smashlab](http://minimu.smashlab.com/category/miscellaneous-category/miscellaneous-category-for-smashlab)
 * …works ok.
 * However, If I create a sub-category for blog1 or blog2;
 * [http://blog1.com/category/blog1/miscellaneous-category-for-blog1](http://blog1.com/category/blog1/miscellaneous-category-for-blog1)
 * or
 * [http://blog2.com/category/blog2/miscellaneous-category-for-blog2](http://blog2.com/category/blog2/miscellaneous-category-for-blog2)
 * …then the web starts to do weird things. The template is not working ok and the
   wp navigation “older posts – newer post” points to [http://minimu.smashlab.com](http://minimu.smashlab.com)
   instead of pointing to [http://blog1.com](http://blog1.com) or [http://blog2.com](http://blog2.com)
 * Finally, the searcher works ok on [http://minimu.smashlab.com](http://minimu.smashlab.com)
   but whenever you try a search on [http://blog1.com](http://blog1.com) or [http://blog2.com](http://blog2.com),
   you get a “Nothing Found”. This was using Twenty Eleven theme.

 * For SEO, I think redirecting would be perfect. While searching for a solution
   I came across this line for the htaccess file;
 * RedirectMatch 301 ^/category/category1/?(.*)$ [http://2ndDomain.com/category/category1/$1](http://2ndDomain.com/category/category1/$1)
 * It should redirect categories from the parent domain to the second domain

 * Thanks for your answer Shelkie;
 * The problem whenever you assign the same post to two or more domains is that 
   it is not good for SEO. Google will penalize both domains for duplicate content.
 * When I do so with MiniMu, permalinks of posts that are listed in the parent web
   and belongs to category 1 or category 2, still point to parent web domain;
 * MainWeb .com/my-post
 * For avoiding SEO problems, permalinks of posts listed on the parent web, MainWeb.
   com, must point to the 2nd or 3rd Domain;
 * MainWeb .com
    2ndDomain .com/my-post
 * BTW, since I’m going to be working with your plugin for a while, I can comment
   all issues I find. So far, I have noticed something weird with sub-categories.
 * When I splitted my web like this;
 * MainWeb .com
    2ndDomain .com ->(category 1) 3rdDomain .com ->(category 2)
 * …I sub-divided each category in sub-categories;
 * MainWeb .com
    2ndDomain .com ->(category 1) – sub-category 1 – sub-category 2
   3rdDomain .com ->(category 2) – sub-category 1 – sub-category 2
 * Well, links to each sub-category end up being like this;
 * 2ndDomain .com/category/category 1/sub-category 1
 * This looks weird. Since categories are working as independent domains, sub-categories
   would look better like this;
 * 2ndDomain .com/category/sub-category 1
 * or even better with a no category base;
 * 2ndDomain .com/sub-category 1

   wp latest version, minimu latest version, no other plugins, default theme, new
   database. I got rid of the nesting error and I successfully configured several
   domains.
 * I still haven’t caught what was causing this problem. I guess somekind of backwards
   compatibility with anything I had installed.
