Sorry, I’m no longer using this method as I’ve switched to a cheaper, but less permissive, host. Honestly, WordPress has changed a lot lately, and I don’t know if this would still work anyway!

I’d like to try this out on my 2.8 sites. I noticed that testblog.jonandnic.com is not working. Did you change th subsite address?

Does anyone have any tips/updates for WP v2.8?

I can’t find many of the code here in the comments that exist in my “wp-settings.php”

I’m so lost here! :\

Step 3 lets you use the same admin account for both sites — instead of having a duplicate account. Its not strictly necessary…

Well I did some research and I found that options table contains a record for the user roles

ex. wp_newblog_user_roles a:5:{s:13:”administrator”;a:2:{s:4:”name”;s:23:”Ad… yes

I needed to update this record to the old user_roles. This allowed me to log into the admin client.

Now I’m wondering why I would need step 3 since I’m not using any of the users from the new site. I’m just using it for a new theme (iphone) theme of my sit.

I will! It may have started to fail after removing tables that I’m not using. This is my beta site so I think I’ll start over. I keep you informed.

Brun, I haven’t tried this on WordPress 2.7, but the user thing wasn’t a problem in 2.6. If you do any research into this, it’d be great if you could let us know via the comments!

Anyone have any issues when trying to use the new site admin? I was thinking the users would transfer over? Just wondering since I can’t update the theme I would like to use.

Also, I am interested in having the same type of concept where I have like 5 people that can have their own sign in information, and stuff, as well as a section like you see the “peanut gallery” where anyone can come in register, and then they can come back anytime sign in, and make a post. I know they could register as a “contributer”, but I want to have it seperate from my main blog like it says.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
