I haven't tried the plugin on wp 2.5.1 so can't really say what could be the problem. Are you based jn a non-supported country where they don't serve RPU ads and instead show a pladeholder eminimall ad? I am from a non-supported country and haven't setup an alternate url so I just get a blank space. I also checked the Get Code drop down and Chitika RPU is really missing from there.; Hi Walt!

]]> Comment on How I use Subdomains with WordPress MU on Bluehost by Stuart Liedtke http://bitsnbytes.hashout.org/2008/03/01/how-i-use-subdomains-with-wordpress-mu-on-bluehost/#comment-3225 Stuart Liedtke Sat, 05 Sep 2009 07:39:45 +0000 http://bitsnbytes.hashout.org/2008/03/01/how-i-use-subdomains-with-wordpress-mu-on-bluehost/#comment-3225 Ok. I had to re read your post. Do the mySql databases handle all this properly in your experience? Are the users of the subdomain blogs kept separate in all the admin panels? Might sound like a weird question, but I'd like to make sure that the users of each blog are isolated, i.e - one blogs admin won't be seeing users across the other blogs in their dashboard. Hope this is not a real stupid question. Thanks for your time. Ok. I had to re read your post. Do the mySql databases handle all this properly in your experience?

Siteground and Hostmonster. This was mostly due to having a good relationship with the hosts and my clients being satisfied with my services. I never have set up wpmu to have multiple blogs using the tld and wildcards and your post intrigued me. Soon, I am embarking on a venture that will require multiple blogs, using the subdomain.domain method you describe. I have a question. When you say you can instantiate a new blog, on the fly - do you mean from your existing installations dashboard, where it says "create a blog"? I suppress this on my sites because it's not a feature I require, but will in the near future. That being said, my question revolves around how users go about creating a blog using that same method. I don't want any user to be able to do this, but when I will want to create a new blog for a specific user, will it work as I've described if set up on a host as you have done. Siteground says it does support "wildcard" dns, but I'm always (awfully) careful because of all the worries I have about stability and htaccess concerns. I think you've written a great post for people like me who are about to venture into the same territory you have done. Congratulations. I'd love to hear back from you on this. Thanks in advance.

]]> Comment on Chitika RPU for WordPress Plugin by Walt http://bitsnbytes.hashout.org/downloads/wordpress/plugins/chitika-rpu-for-wordpress-plugin/#comment-151 Walt Thu, 05 Jun 2008 05:49:36 +0000 http://bitsnbytes.hashout.org/downloads/wordpress/plugins/chitika-rpu-for-wordpress-plugin/#comment-151 I figured it out (I think). I have a Chitika Premium block in my sidebar. As you (may or may not?) know, the premium ads don't always display - according to Chitika they are behavior based. Well, it seems that whenever the premium block displays, it somehow changes the RPU to a premium ad as well. If I just click on view post from the manage posts area, I don't get a premium ad, and the RPU displays like it should. If I do a Google search for my site and click on a link from the search results, I generally get a premium ad, and the RPU magically changes into a premium ad as well.If I do a display source on the page, I see the RPU channel in the ad block, but that's not what displays. I doubt this has anything to do with your plugin. It seems to be a Chitika issue. Thanks for your help. I figured it out (I think).
