Item 1: There is a “Make Subdomain” option as a part of the “Edit Category” page. However, it is not a part of the “Add Category” page. So all you’ll need to do is create the category and then edit it to determine if it is to be sub-domained or not.

a) i already have lots of categories - and lots of subcategories, most of which i don’t want to be subdomains. if there is any easy way for you to have the categories default to not having the “Make Subdomain” box checked that would be helpful - but not necessary. i can go through and edit all of them to uncheck the box.

b) i’m confused about the way subdomains are handled. i have a parent category that i want to use a subdomain for. if i both the parent category and subcategories checked for “Make Subdomain” then the urls for individual posts are changed

from:

http://www.mysite.com/year/month/post-name/

to:

http://parent-category.mysite.com/subcategory/year/month/post-name/

but shouldn’t it be:

http://parent-category.mysite.com/year/month/post-name/

new item: i get an error msg:

Too many redirects occurred trying to open “[http://www.mysite.com/category/my-category/]”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.

for links to category pages:

http://www.mysite.com/category/my-category/

it is only in the category sidebar widgets than the redirection seems to happen correctly.

another new item (small):

also on the edit category page, the link:

Pick your theme name and activate category themes in Options/Subdomains

gives the following error msg:

Cannot load subster-rejuvenation.php.

many thanks again,

item 1: i did not look at the “edit category” page - will give that a try.

item 2: yes. that’s it exactly.

*I will look into adding it to the “Add Category” as well.

Item 2: I am not sure I understand what it is you with to do. Have a category “Cars” and category “Morotcycle” and have posts from both appear under “cars.mysite.com”?

all the categories get turned into subdomains - that won’t work as i need to have some categories used just for the main domain.

i expect i’m not alone in needing to have some categories not turned into subdomains. so here’s a suggestion:

do with categories, just as you do with the pages:

“To make pages act as subdomains set a custom field with the key of subdomain_me to “true”

To tie a pages to a category subdomains set a custom field with the key of tie_to_category to to category ID”

1. do not turn a category into a subdomain unless a custom field with the key of subdomain_me is set to “true”

2. permit multiple categories to be tied together in one category’s subdomain by setting a custom field for the categories with the key of tie_to_category to the category ID of the shared subdomain.

item 1. above is the most critical. without it, i can’t use the plugin for categories. i hope that is something you can easily add - and i’ll be anxiously awaiting the chance to try it again.

best,
selise

do you know if it is possible to map 2 categories to the same subdomain?

many thanks,
