WordPress MU

Hi, I have Wordpress MU 2.9.1 setup with a couple of sub-blogs as well as a "main/parent" blog. I want latest posts from the sub-blogs to show up on the front page of my "main" blog. After researching It seems that the [WordPress MU Sitewide Tags Pages] plugin is the best thing to do that with. However, after installing it, I can't get it to do anything. My settings are as follows:

1. tags (default)
2. [checked] Post to main blog
Max Posts: 5000 (default)
Include Pages: [unchecked]
Privacy: [Tags pages can be indexed by search engines.]
Post Meta: [blank]

I read that the blogs/sub-blogs have to be public and have to be set to search engine indexing under settings>privacy. Both of which I have done. I also read that you have to go back and update your posts for them to show up. I've created a new test post in a sub-blog to test it and it, nor anything else, shows up in the main blog. The main blog just stays the same. I might also note that the plugin did not create a "tags" blog like it said it would.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Zach

"I might also note that the plugin did not create a "tags" blog like it said it would."

Because you told it to use the main blog instead.

Got a link? Cuz I use this all the time.

have you tried it with a different template?

To clarify, I was having the same problem, turns out the theme I was using didn't have a complete post loop in the home.php file, fixing the loop sorted the problem.

I found an alternative method. Thanks for the replies!

I'm trying to do this now, but completely lost.. I am working with subdomains and the main..

I've installed "Sitewide Multi Widget" and "Sitewide Tags Pages".

Do I need to create this "tags blog" to use as my main page or something?

any help appreciated.

ok I finally found the instructions.. where else, but the plugin page..

anyways - got it all clicked and set up, however, I think I'm missing the "post loop" , looking for that now.. anyone know where it's at?
