You can see this at http://esteightyfive.com an experiment I was playing with. I can send you over the files from that if your interested.

Yeah same here. I found a few plugins that were interesting but didnt 100% work, have you tried any? They were:Add Cloned Sites for WPMU (batch)andDefault BlogYeah it would be pretty good. especially in my current test scenario where I want to use MU to create 5 sites with identical content and pages (for now) and have a different design/layout for each as examples of what can be done with the same info. Still no wordpress settings and options export plugins we know of? Im surprised by that. only just realized you commented here to that point. Yeah same here.

I haven't figured out yet how to quickly duplicate a single site within a multisite install. I'd love to be able to set up a site that acts as a template for other sites, but the closest I've come is using the export/import for posts and pages, but it doesn't copy the settings.

Any ideas? I tried a few MU plugins but they didnt really play nicely. Thanks in advance.

Found that out. Since I didn't have an original .htaccess file I didn't know I needed one or what to do with it even if I had one, but the article cleared it up. Thanks for the hints in your article! All other steps worked flawlessly! :) Thx Kristarella! Found that out.

I learned you had to do some sort of .htaccess trickery to fix this. I didn't have an original .htaccess so I had to create one. The relevant changes can be found here in case anyone is interested (look down in the article where it says "modify your .htaccess file": http://developersmind.com/2010/05/17/enable-multi-site-in-wordpress-3-0/ Nevermind.

In my case I moved from an apache localhost in my machine to a live server (bluehost). I zipped all my files, ftpd them to bluehost, created a database, imported the database to bluehost from my machine's localhost, then did a search replace to the new live name (replacing my localhost name with www.schoolwhizz.com). The main blog seems to sort of kind of work, I mean I can see the front page (main/primary blog), but all links even though they appear correct in the browser bottom bar (status bar I guess) when clicked produce a 404 not found. Same for all blogs in the MU install, they are all 404s even though the data is in the database and the path seems correct. Any idea what's going on? Hi there,

It's always the simple things, like this time the site url in wp-config, that gets me. Many thanks. Thank you! Thank you!
