Worpress installed in subdirectory

[AnsharImagesParticipant]

Hello,

I launched new symbiostock website yesterday – http://AnsharImages.com.
I have WordPress installed in subdirectory “/store/” and I setup it to work as in site root (it has such options in header).

After launch I found that Symbiostock networking expect some files in the root of the site.
Details in this thread:
http://www.symbiostock.org/topic/441/ansharimagescom-has-launched/

So I added redirection for all root files to my /store directory in .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?ansharimages.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/store/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /store/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?ansharimages.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ store/index.php [L]

# END WordPress

But it looks like I still has some issues with symbiostock networking.
How to fix this?

PS: I want my site to be visible as http://ansharimages.com/, not like http://ansharimages.com/store/.

I ran into these problems when I first set up my site which I had done the same way as you.

After some hassles (and Leo saying he’d work on a fix for it, but then finding even with that fix, plugins wouldn’t work either without a separate fix for each of those) found that using a subdomain for that subdirectory would work.

Another user – (http://stock.tdahlphotography.com/) – mentioned that a subdomain worked for him without any of the problems I had found just using a subdirectory.

I didn’t want to have the subdomain visible, so I re-arranged some domains on my site so that I could assign digitalbristles.com (my site) to a subdomain that pointed to my WordPress subdirectory. If you have your primary domain as AnsharImages.com, you’ll need another domain name for the new primary and to get your hosting company to switch it for you if you want the name of your Symbiostock site to be just http://AnsharImages.com

I use Bluehost and it took them only about 5 minutes to make the changeover for me.

jsnover,

Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
The problem is that from my point of view all works fine – wordpress, symbistock theme, all plugins.
After I added redirection even all needed files visible from the root – such as http://ansharimages.com/symbiocard.csv

Though some issues with symbiostock networking were reported in this thread by Cascoly:
http://www.symbiostock.org/topic/441/ansharimagescom-has-launched/

But I cannot check them myself – is it a way to test symbistock networking for your website?

Update:
I tried to add my own website to my network – it worked fine, but only issue I had – it automatically changed website name from http://ansharimages.com to http://ansharimages.com/store. Is there a way to fix it? In which php file symbiocard.csv file is generated – where to look?

Found that to fix issue with incorrect symbistock_site name in symbiocard.cvs you need to change 1 line in file network_manager.php:

From:
$network_info[ ‘symbiostock_site’ ] = site_url();

To:
$network_info[ ‘symbiostock_site’ ] = home_url();

Now it works fine.

One more issue left with networking.
When you search some keyword on some site which has AnsharImages.com in network – you sea search results, but Author info is missing in header. You can see it on my site (I have my site in my network for testing purposes):
http://ansharimages.com/?s=makarska&post_type=image

Any ideas how to fix it?

first, be aware that those 2 urls are also used in different places, so other parts of sym may work differently, now or later

you may not be seeing the header because you are really only using 1 site — try it with another site networked and see if it still lacks the header
