I have installed and converted two wordpress installations to Multisite .It was not first time and I done it before for some of my websites.

I was successfully able to use it too.But I could not find sub-site files/folders in 'Blogs.dir' .Hence some plugins are showing errors as there are no files/folders for sub-sites(like subsite 1, 2, 3 etc) in blogs.dir

The problem might be this...I firstly placed the Multisite conversion code at long place in wp-config.php .Later I realise my fault and corrected it.But the problem is still un-resolved.Still there are no files in blogs.dir

Could anybody help me to resolve this issue? I don't understand if it is because of the new version 3.0.4 or my fault ?

Thanks !

Update: I installed a new multisite on other fresh domain .And the same problem there. I think the new version don't need that or some thing wrong with my server configuration

Update 2 : I am adding a screenshot of my empty blogs.dir folder http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/768/blogsdir.jpghttp://img534.imageshack.us/img534/768/blogsdir.jpg

Update 3:

Actually the problem is caused with a plugin named Zingiri

The plugin is installed on Multisite installation and got these messages :

Directory /home/..../public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/ is not writable, please chmod to 777 Directory /home/......./public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/zingiri-web-shop doesn't exist ......... ......... Directory /home/....../public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/zingiri-web-shop/digital-a42fzcxaq5ykww4t doesn't exist Turn off magic quotes on your installation. Read more about why you should disable this setting

( ( 1 )This is the warning message on sub-sites.The Numeral ' 2 ' represents a subsite here )

I am having another error message too (here :/wp-admin/admin.php?page=zingiri-web-shop)...when I click on Install button in plugin settings page (However it finishes installing the script).

Error:Table 'wpuser_wpdb1.wp_2_users' doesn't exist

'Magic Quotes ' are already turned off and tried changing the permissions for blogs.dir .

Even after doing all these,that problem is unresolved .

After realizing the issue is caused with that particular plugin .I attempted to delete the question because some might thing this question is related to plugin and not with blogs.dir

  • Is the blogs.dir folder there at all? If it is what are the permissions on that folder?

The instructions clearly state you must create this folder under the wp-content folder.

This isn't a bug or an issue with your server. You missed a step.

  • Sorry ! actually my question is imperfect as the actual problem is caused because of a plugin named 'Zingiri' .Actually the error is with Non-compatibility of the Plugin with multisite.I have attempted to delete the question as it is plugin specific. someone told that I should ask plugin related questions on wordpress forums or directly the plugin developer.

  • @user391 - even information about incompatibilities can be useful for others. No need to worry that you have not found "the perfect"(tm) solution, it's just about sharing.
