Actually, never mind. It turned out to be a 36 GB debug file (!), which we were able to delete.

Can anyone point me towards some quick and easy ways to manage (i.e., cut down on) storage for a multi-site installation? Our hosting company has informed us that we’re over our limit, and as a (very) part-time WP admin, I’m a little out of my depth here.

I can see that our main site is taking up 41.9 GB of space, while the staging and dev…[Read more]

Hi Steven,

Glad you were able to switch to a subdirectory set up for your multisite configuration.

Hi Ray,

Even though my wildcard subdomain *, was set up correctly in my Bluehost cPanel dashboard, the root cause of my subsites’ creation problem was my SSL Certificate not being the right type of certificate for my wildcard subdomain.

To properly set up a subdomain-type Wordpress Multisite that uses a wildcard subdomain and only a single…[Read more]

Hi Steven,

It sounds like you might need to reconfigure wildcard subdomains on Bluehost. Check out the “Setting up Wildcard Subdomains” section of this article: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-install-and-setup-wordpress-multisite-network/#wildcard

Can you verify that you have set up wildcard subdomains on your Bluehost cPanel…[Read more]

Hi Bree! What good news. I go there.

My CBOX multisite at Bluehost was working fine in Nov 2019, but stopped working because I forgot to pay the hosting fee because I was too busy doing other things. After paying the fee in Jan 2020, I was able to see the main site and its dashboard but not the subsites. So I tried restoring the entire multisite using UpdraftPlus, but it still h…[Read more]

Bree replied to the topic Plugin Management in the forum OpenLab Help & Support 2 years ago

Thanks Ed, for starting this thread, and Troy for weighing in!

At the City Tech OpenLab we do this manually, but are interested in learning about plugins that others are using.

Bree 🙂

Troy,

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate your experience and you taking the time to share that.
Troy Welch replied to the topic Plugin Management in the forum OpenLab Help & Support 2 years ago

Hi Ed, I admin a couple of mid-size WP multisites and a couple of smaller CBox ones.

I am running both Multisite Enhancements and Multisite Plugin Manager on our two mid-size servers. They seem to function just fine. There was one small issue with Multisite Enhancements involving favicons. If I recall it was initially sorted with some developer…[Read more]

This week over in SUNY, we had a problem with a non-Commons In Box plugin that broke one of our subsites, to the point that we were unable to view the site or even view the backend to turn the plugin off.

It’s one of those worst case scenario moments, and everything is fine now, but it got Amanda and I thinking and talking about Plugin Management…[Read more]

Boone Gorges replied to the topic WP Grade Posts breaking upgrade in the forum OpenLab Help & Support 2 years ago

Sorry for the error. I’ve created the tag and you should now be able to complete the upgrade via the CBOX upgrade panel.
Ray replied to the topic WP Grade Posts breaking upgrade in the forum OpenLab Help & Support 2 years ago

@cbox_admin – It looks like WP Grade Comments 1.4.4 was not tagged on wp.org’s SVN, so the referenced download for CBOX OpenLab does not exist: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/commons-in-a-box/blob/9c92ebb5bd410eeff8bc6859b7ece90bd8d160e2/includes/openlab/plugins.php#L362.

Can you take a look?
