WordPress Subdomains Plugin 0.5.1 News

I’ve not forgotten it, just been pretty busy with work the last few weeks. Was going to spend the weekend on it but a couple of drinks with some collegues in Beijing on Friday turned into an all nighter and Saturday was a total write off. I got some done today but my brain is still not quite up to speed so it was slow going.

Seems I’m not as young as I thought I was ;)

Will be back on it full speed this week and should have a new release by the weekend if not earlier. Wont be too many new features mostly a bunch of bug fixes and improved configuration pages.

Thank you for making such a plugin available, I’ve been looking for something like this since I do not want to constantly install new WPs each time I need it on one of my subdomains. I would like to hopefully see it work well with the newest version of WP since atm I cannot use it but I look forward to your newest release~

Thank you for your kind comments :)
I’ve not had as much time to work on the plugin in the last few weeks as work and home life have consumed a lot of my time.
From what you’ve written is looks like you’re saying that the plugin doesn’t work in wordpress 2.7? Is this right?
I’ve not had a chance to check it but if this is the case then I will do my best to get it fixed ASAP so you can use it. I’ll try and test wordpress 2.7 in the next few days.

I found a bug about the cookie.
take your site for example.

after you login.

if you can edit this post directly on the post or not.

maybe you can edit it directly on this:

In my wordpress, I test many times, just no effect.

Thank for your time to do this.

Hi,

This is something I was going to mention in the readme of the next release.

It’s not actually a bug but you need to add an option to your wp-config.php in order for your cookies to span subdomains.

In wordpress’s wp-config.php add:

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.mydomain.com’);

where mydomain.com is your domain. Also remember the dot (.) before the domain, this is what makes it work. For example with this site I have:

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.casualgenius.com’);

Once this is done you might want to delete any cookie you have for your domain so wordpress will set them all again.

Cheers,

Alex

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!

I’ve been trying to figure out how to fix that issue since i started my site. I tried the root Cookie Path plugin thinking that’d work but that was for when the blog is in a folder. Using this advice though I finally don’t have to re-login for every subdomain I have.
