Published by Reverend September 7th, 2008 in wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 0 Comments

When putting a series of videos in a post or page with Anarchy Media Player, I get the following bug when viewed in Firefox 3:

Seems like one or two videos will show up, then the subsequent videos show just a part of the play button, and [...]

Well, I have finally gotten a free minute to get this all down, and get it down I will in hopes that I can drum up some help and support in working through a couple of the issues we’re having with FeedWordPress. So, [...]

UMW Blogs: A Forest of Feeds!

Published by Reverend August 28th, 2008 in UMW Blogs and wpmu. 0 Comments

Today it really hit me that UMW Blogs is back and roaring. I rolled through the jungle filled with RSS and picked lovingly from the fruit of connected people thinking about wild stuff. And I knew it for sure when I read Jesse Kopp’s first blog post of the semester:

From the makers of last [...]

OK, I’m officially in full blown UMW Blogs blogging mode, I will most likely prove insufferable for the next month or so, and that’s just the way it is, suckas!

WPMu Sitewide Comment Tracking

Published by Reverend August 24th, 2008 in Uncategorized, widgets, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 0 Comments

I have been mentioning DSader a lot lately on this blog, and that’s mainly because I have been deep into WordPress Multi-User mode for a couple of weeks now. And between the upgrade to 2.6 and the general overhaul of plugins, themes, etc., I find I’ve devoted no insignificant amount of time to plugin hunting [...]

New digs for UMW Blogs, or the anatomy of a redesign

Published by Reverend August 21st, 2008 in UMW Blogs, widgets, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 7 Comments

UMW Blogs has got a brand new bag, with no small assistance from Andy “EDU” Rush nation who turned me on to the beautiful theme PrimePress (Andy’s the go to theme guy without question), along with Serena Epstein an Jerry Slezak who provided the gorgeous header images featuring the UMW campus. The redesign took a [...]

WPMu “3-in-1″ Widget: Tags, Recent Posts, and Archives

Published by Reverend August 18th, 2008 in wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 5 Comments

I already mentioned that Donncha’s Sitewide Tags plugin was going to make a whole lot of things much, much easier. Well, DSader wrapped all the awesomeness into one bitchin’ plugin for WPMu: Sitewide “three-in-one” Multi Widget Panel. I discovered it through James Farmer’s WPMU.org (already proving an invaluable resource) and I just had to test [...]

WPMu Subdomain Mapping

Published by Reverend August 16th, 2008 in wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 2 Comments

As a follow up to my last post, I also tested out mapping subdomains with [[CPanel]] on a WPMu installation using Donncha’s Domain Mapping plugin. And surprise, surprise, just about the same method works for mapping just a subdomain to a blog on WPMu. To clarify, when I say mapping just a subdomain I mean [...]

WPMu Domain Mapping Plugin on CPanel

Published by Reverend August 14th, 2008 in plugins, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 5 Comments

Well, I have written a bunch about domain mapping on WPMu over the last year or so. Up and until tonight I have been using Richard Bui’s tutorial here along with David Dean’s Multi-Site Manager Plugin. The combination of the two have worked great for me thus far, and I liked that with this combination [...]

Anyone else have problems upgrading WPMu 2.6 with subdirectories?

Published by Reverend August 8th, 2008 in WordPress, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 8 Comments

I’ve been upgrading a number of different WPMu installations. And while the upgrades I did for WPMu 2.6 installations that ran on dynamic subdomains went smoothly, two installations I upgraded that run on subdirectories (a result of them being hosted on shared hosting that would do dynamic subdomains) ran into problems. The upgrade seemed to [...]
