[SOLVED] Global changes for network
 
Hi,
I am using ATO 3.5.3 on WP 3.0. I installed a network, and ATO 3.5.3 in all the sub-directories. Is there a way to make global changes to all directories without having to go back and forth between them? In some sites I do want some differences, but the "general" look I would like the same in all.

So, is there a way to do both (make global changes and individual changes)?

Thanks!
Dona

Try this, make the changes in one, export the settings and import them into the others

Hi,
Sounds like a great idea, unfortunately, I cannot seem to find separate themes file for each sub-directory in File Zilla. I can only find the one for the main site, even though each site has some differences in the theme.
I have tried to get the files for the subdirectories separately, but File Zilla defaults to the main site.

The main site is: http://holisticservices.us
one of the directories is: http://holisticservices.us/holistichealing/

I cannot find the sub-directories in filezilla under the main site, and I cannot get the sites separately.

Do you know how can I find the separate files?

Dona... What you would need to do is set up a site with the features you want on all the sites and export that setting file. Then import that file into the other sites as a "starting point"

Thank you Larry,
I understood that part, it is how to find the individual files that I cannot find (to make individual changes, such as different headers and logos - etc).

Since all the sites have slight differences already, the separate files are somewhere - I just cannot find them.

There are no separate files the changes are all done in the Theme Options.

Dona Aug 16, 2010 10:02 PM

ok, thanks.

I would like to have different headers/logos in each site. Is there some way that I can change the code to have it point to a different header or logo name?

If so, what would that be, and where would I put it?

If not, do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks
Dona

Are you using multisite?

Dona Aug 17, 2010 03:16 AM

I am using WP 3.0. I added a network to the system (super admin). I curretly have 5 subdirectories.

or were you asking if I was using a multiuser version of Atahualpa? I am using ATO 3.5.3. Is there a multiuser version?

Dona

Dona Aug 17, 2010 03:32 AM

me again. I am new to WP so, maybe I have mistaken multi-user with network. When I went to research how to make the WP handle multiuser I was directed to the area for a network. I thought they were the same, but maybe they are not?

You are indeed using the multisite functionality of WordPress and there are currently some issues with how that works with Atahualpa. One of those issues is not being able to select different header images for different sites. I don't have any information on when that will be fixed.

Dona Aug 17, 2010 03:22 PM

Thank you Larry.

I found a way around it (until a permanent fix is made for the header image). I put a "banner" picture in the logo field. It doesn't rotate images, but this gives me the ability to have a different header/logo on each site. I can incorporate a logo in the banner image.
