    Greetings

    Great great plugin!
    Installed and had a new blog running in 3 minutes!

    One question please:
    I noticed that in wp-content/wp-hive a folder was created, not just for the newly created blog, but also for the original blog..
    Is that normal?

    I'm asking because, during installation of the plugin, I have activated the plugin in the original blog, but found out that the installation instructions did not ask for that step. Did I do something wrong?

    Yes, this is normal.

    The initial installation of WP Hive sets up this folder, and then moves sitemap.xml, sitemap.xml.gz, robots.txt, and favicon.ico from the root directory to this folder.

    This is so that these files can be correctly mapped and served appropriately for each blog in the Hive. If they remained in the root, the same file would be served for each blog (which would be terrible for SEO, etc..).

    Many thanks ikailo,
    I don't have those files for now. Does this mean that if I ever had those files I'd manually move them?

    That is correct. You should never have those files in the root directory.

    If possible, you should try to configure any google-analytics plugins to store the sitemap.xml in that folder.
