WordPress MU

Hi there,

I have WPMU installed on my existing domain, mydomain.com

I have a main blog at blogs.mydomain.com

And have several subblogs at

blogs.mydomain.com/site1
blogs.mydomain.com/site2

The sites come up at site1.mydomain.com and site2.mydomain.com
I get to their blogs at blogs.mydomain.com/site1 and blogs.mydomain.com/site2

The sites and blogs seem to work correctly.

I want to add a code block to my existing index page for site1 that displays the latest 3 blog posts. Now starts my problem. That gets re-directed to the main blog page: blogs.mydomain.com/

So I created a simple php page testblog.php to test. It also redirects to blogs.mydomain.com/.

testblog.php contains:

<?php>
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('/home/wordpress-mu/htdocs/wp-blog-header.php');
?>
<?php if(have_posts() ) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

When I go to site1.mydomain.com/testblog.php I get redirected to blogs.mydomain.com/

I expect it to show me the posts for site1. They do exist. If I go to blogs.mydomain.com/site1 then I see the blog posts.

Can anyone help? I hope this is a simple/stupid fix. :-)

best regards,
Bill

Whatever you dump in the root will be read for all blogs. :)

make your code part of the theme (like a page template) that is running on your main blog.

Hi andrea_r,

Thanks for the reply. I don't understand "Whatever you dump in the root will be read for all blogs".

I thought I could use the wordpress functions to access the posts in my main blog and the sub-blogs...

My plan is to insert the code block into my existing index pages for site1.mydomain.com and site2.mydomain.com

I thought WPMU would know by scope that the functions were accessed from site1.mydomain.com and would then show the posts for site1. But instead, http://site1.mydomain.com/testblog.php is being redirected to blogs.mydomain.com.

Sorry if I am not being clear.
Bill
