Personally I am not that knowledgeable on multi-site – need Mr Papa for that who will be around later at some stage (although I know he has a difficult work day today).

But I do know that the registration process is different and the normal WP standard registration will no longer work.

Your question regarding items not disappearing sound like pretty typical caching issues to me although generally moving to a different machine would not make a difference. Any WP caching plugins active? The forum page can not be cached so if you do have any it will need to be excluded.

Unsure about the last question although ‘www’ and no ‘www’ will be treated as separate cookie entities by WordPress. Make sure that the urls set on the settings > general admin panel of WP are both the same.

Hi

Thank you for your reply.

I have WP Super Cache installed. Do you know how I prevent it from caching the Simple Press forum?

I’ve sorted out the www problem thanks.

As I understand it – and I have to admit that I have only ever looked at this briefly – you exclude the forum page from each option tab of the cache plugin by using the base forum url -probably just the slug (by default /forum).

The problem is that the forum data is too dynamic to be cached unlike blog posts which remain static once posted.

Hi

Ok, think I’ve done that.

Any help on getting the Register button back on my Simple Press forum would be appreciated.

I am going to have to defer to Steve (Mr Papa) on that one but as I said – I am unsure whether that is possible under WPMS.

OK, I will await Steve’s return

On the Simple Press Features>Integration section it says:

“Supports WordPress standard and multisite” so I’m hoping it shouldn’t be a problem.

So it does. But I know there is something different regarding WPMS sign up. I am just unsure what!

Not only have I got the loss of the ‘Registration’ button but if you now click on any of the topics in the forum it directs you to the home page so no one can actually view any part of the forum.

are you sure you have enabled registrations in your network??? they are off by default in wp multisite – even if you had them on in single site and converted… you can find that setting on the network admin – settings panel… note this is NOT the admin for main site but for the whole network…

as to the urls, changing to multisite makes significant changes to the .htacess and rewrite rules… please go try going to forum – integration – page and permalink and update the forum permalink…

Hi Steve

Registration button is now working as is the forum.

Thanks for the help

Great news. I really must download MS one day and install it properly so I too can answer these questions!
