I installed wp-hive according to your directions. </p> <p>When I click edit and/ or add site and complete the required fields, example below: </p> <p>domain - mysite.com<br /> sub directory - /P365<br /> Prefix - wp_365</p> <p>I click on save changes and either get a message that the site has been saved or a message that there was an error saving.<br /> If I get the message that my site has been saved and I click on the "install site" button, it simply redirects me to the site I'm hoping to add.</p> <p>When I go back to the wp-hive in my dashboard, click settings, click edit - it still says "install site" next to the site that I'm trying to add.</p> <p>Is this what the program is supposed to do? Is there a place where I can go to add posts to the new site? Can someone help me to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!<br /> Please advise. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/two-blogs-one-search#post-848 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 09:15:16 +0000 teepeecee 848@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Has anyone using WP Hive addressed the problem of operating two related blogs that share a single search? I have tried implementing a custom Google search, the best advice given so far, has been frustrating to say the least. I have been directed back toward giving up on WP Hive, which I do not want to do. I wonder if this search issue will be addressed in the upcoming Pro build? If so, I think I can hang tight and wait and then pay then . . . be happy. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/admin-site-is-gone#post-847 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 12:18:11 +0000 romanot 847@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>After placing the wp-hive folder into the plugins directory, the wp-admin page "was not found" (410 error).

I had to change which domain name was the main one, so I'm setting up the hive all over again. I got one site to work, and then tried to add a subfolder, but got a blank page. I figured this was because it was a subfolder, so I removed both from the hive and they worked again separate from the hive. </p> <p>Since then, every blog I try to add to the hive redirects to a blank page. I did exactly the same thing for the other domains as what worked for the one I removed. I've done it more than one time with more than one domain and every time wp-hive recognizes the blog, but when I click on "view site" or put the address in the address bar, I get a blank page. </p> <p>Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?

I will assume you are using subdomain configuration. Each site is considered to be a separate site, and they do not link to eachother.</p> <p>2. No, the Hive must share a database. WP Hive works by using different prefixes for each site, within the same database. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/common-form-throughout-hive#post-829 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 21:09:17 +0000 ikailo 829@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>This would be quite difficult to do. cforms (as do most plugins and themes) stores its configuration data in the options table, which is unique to each site. </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/cannot-log-in-to-other-blogs-in-hive#post-828 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 11:27:25 +0000 gices 828@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>I've just realised that I imported the database for this blog and that could be the problem.

I use separate IP addresses with different nameservers for each of my sites. My questions/concerns are:</p> <p>1.) Does using WP Hive link all of my sites that would be visible to the search engines (via ip, directories, etc.)</p> <p>2.) I would prefer to use separate databases because many of my sites are already up and running.

Check the database to see if a new set of tables were installed.

I'm doing my best to get the plugin installed and working. I already have 10 existing wp blogs that I want to manage using wp-hive. I picked one to be the main blog and activated wp-hive on it. I got the tables from the second blog merged with the first, so that now they are in the same database. So far, so good. Then, I pointed my second domain name at the folder that was the root domain for the first blog. </p> <p>Then, I went to add the second domain through wp-hive. Using the existing domain name, path, and the prefix already in use (for the existing blog), I entered all the info. </p> <p>Then, it asked me to install the blog. I've already got it installed and running, so I figured I should skip this. But, when I typed the domain name in my browser I was taken to a wp install page. I went back through wp-hive and hit "install blog" thinking that it would "activate" the blog through wp-hive. But, it installed a new blog. Which, when I type the domain name in, now takes me to this this "new" blog. Not to the one that already existed under that prefix in the database. </p> <p>What am I doing wrong?
