I have two websites in different languages on one wordpress (multisite).
Pages from a site to another have different IDs, names (because of language), etc... And woocommerce is installed on both websites (meaning there are products).
I'm looking for a way to connect pages from site 1 to site 2 (and reverse) to show a link that would let users go from their language to another but arriving on the "same" page.
I know this is not the best way to have a multilingual website on wordpress but it has been installed that way and we are trying to figure out a way to connect these pages. Maybe that would be useful to someone else for another reason, that's why I'm asking it.
My first idea would be to add an input on the post (pages, articles, product) and fill it with the link of the "sibling". This is time consuming at first (to do this for all the content that is already online) but could work. Best way would be to have a select menu of all the other site pages to select the specific page/article/product but I don't really know how to do this.
And maybe.. maybe there is already a plugin that does that kind of thing, if yes, that would be great.
Thanks !

I've been looking for quite some time to find a Newsletter plugin for multi-author for a WordPress site.
Currently using a Multisite with MailPoet. This way, each author is assigned to a site and can build his newsletter without having access to other authors lists, posts and subscribers.
I'm currently looking to remove the multisite feature as it's causing more problem than it solves.
However, I'm still stuck and I can't find a decent plugin that will allow the author to build a custom newsletter from the WordPress backend - without having access to all other authors subscribers, posts and so on.
Mailpoet does everything I need, but it doesn't allow to associate lists and newsletter per author.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Well, I really have no idea how you might isolate each author all sharing one WordPress site... It's reasonably simple to show an author only their own posts, but assigning specific users to only one author would be a bigger beast to tackle. If multisite is working for you but you don't like the nuances of it (Totally understand by the way, multisite can be a pain to administer), I might suggest installing many instances of wordpress, one for each author, and using something self-hosted like infinitewp to manage it. It'll be a bigger deal to set up initially, but it might work a lot smoother for you.
We want to have multiple blogs in one wordpress enviroment. Namely different categories like life and health. They should have the same look and a user should be able to switch between blog topics.
Is it recommended that I have multiple installations of wordpress so that I have a seperate cms for each blog? Currently its just a user that handles all the content, however in the future there could be a writer that should only be allowed to write into one topic/blog.
Whats the best way to achieve this?
The best way provided that in the future multiple writers will add content, is to create a multisite wordpress plateform using the same theme.

If you want to specialize each blog in one theme like live and health you can create one blog for each theme. for instance :
yourdomain.com/life
yourdomain.com/health
But you can also create one blog and use the category system of wordpress in order to create the universe, which is more simpler and faster to setup.
The best choice will depend on the number of content you want to publish, the restrictions for each writer,...
Basically on my website launch I will be offering users a lot of app promo codes to get apps free. However, I want to know if there is a way that I can make it so that once they have clicked a page they are unable to access any of the others and get all the promo codes basically. So once they have one they are prevented from doing any more.
Thanks,
Harry
I dont think this is possible, because you can't denie a random visitor of your website access to a page if they just read an other page.
Maybe it would be possible if you make sure visitors can only read pages if they got an account. That way you can instal a page restric plugin and edit it yourself by adding a variable that checks how many posts are read and activites the page restrict plugin when x posts are read.
Never done something like this myself, and i dont see why you wouldnt provide all your promo codes to everyone, but thats your own choise:p
I might be completely wrong, but this is what i think.
There is a wordpress plugin called S2Members to help you restrict pages/posts from guest users.
First, I've only programmed a lot of HTML, know a little PHP and am playing with Wordpress, experimenting and learning it the way I learn everything else, trial and error, heavy on the error.
The subject line isn't very clear I'm sure. I have a site set up for writing. The posts act as categories and to a Page menu for static submissions. All posts, in the theme show up on page 1, 2, etc. Great.
What I'm trying to figure out and want is this. I want a separate section of Posts just for one topic, in this case movie reviews. So the main section of the site is general posting. I want a separate section where users can post to their hearts content but have those movie posts REMAIN in one section and not be mixed in with the "general population." Ok, they click on the Movie Review link on the main page. This takes them to the Site Admin where they can write a review in TinyMCE and Publish it. IS there a way that these Posts can show up in a section of their own?
I've even installed a second WP site for this purpose. Wonderful, but now I have to transfer all registered users there and any new ones. That's insane. Plus, the user would have to log in twice, once for the original and once for the Movie WP. Also unacceptable.
If I'm on the wrong site to ask this question, let me know and my apologies. Otherwise, some guidance would keep me from my endless Google search.
You can use Categories to mimic this. So your movie reviews would be at mysite.com/category/movie-reviews/. You would then modify index.php to exclude the movie reviews category from the main page.
If you're comfortable with using php, you could instead use custom post types. This is a better solution, but would require more custom coding. The bottom of the Codex page I linked to has some excellent walkthroughs on using CPTs.
I am a novice at Wordpress but I am very familiar with PHP and programming.
I have a somewhat complex website that I would like to program in Wordpress. I have ~40 static pages, ~5 different blog pages, a home page that display some static text and lists the newest posts in each of the different blogs.
My question is what is best practice when it comes to setting up multiple blogs? Should I set up different authors and query by author? Should I set up one author and multiple categories or tags and then query by those categories/tags?
I would like things as simple as possible. Right now on the dev site I have everything set up using categories. My worry is that the user might forget to select a category for his post (and then it would never show up).
If I switch to using multiple authors is there a way I can view all of the posts by one author? Similar to categories (/category/%categoryName%/).
You could segment it by author, but the support for that isn't as robust as you'd probably need. I would suggest using WordPress Multisite:
