Tim G — See the previous comment. Yes it still works with current versions of WordPress. This site still runs on VMB.

The core system is very stable, and pretty future proof. It takes a significant, low-level change to WordPress to break VMB. In fact, in the history of VMB I don’t believe I’ve EVER seen a change in WordPress that broke VMB for existing installs.

As for future development, I’m not sure when, if ever, the single login change will happen. That almost warrants an entirely new plugin — it’s more than a minor feature, and I like VMB’s stability born of simplicity.

I’m trying to get this working, but no luck so far. Would love to get an answer to the question of whether this works with WP3.x since so-called multisite has been added to the base functionality. I especially like the idea that long term you’re aiming at trying to achieve a one-signin-for-all solution.

Are we still in development with this?

It’s running just fine on WP 3.3. Virtual Multiblog is actually quite version-stable because it’s running at such a low level. In fact, it’s so low down that you could say WordPress is running on top of VMB, not the other way around.

Anyone tried VMB with WP 3.3 RC1?

totally new to this….

so just read that I can just create categories for each post (related to one blog type of 3 that I have) and tabs up top that only show those blog posts in a single category…problem solved?

Hi
This plugin really changed my life.

I guess if someone never did a php script to make useful summary of the installed blogs, now I’m trying to get “installed plugins” but I can’t find a plugins lister script that works in a page template.

Having an issue with WPSeo plugin (actually seems to affecta various others) when setting different constant for plugins directory on the blog conf:

The plugin (I understand correctly) uses:
define( ‘WPSEO_URL’, plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) );
to define a base constant to access his files (css, JS, etc)

Defining different WP_CONTENT_DIR works fine:
$vmb_const['WP_CONTENT_DIR'] = ABSPATH .’myblog’;

But as soon as I define different path/URL for plugins:
$vmb_const['WP_PLUGIN_DIR'] = ABSPATH .’wp-content-mysite/plugins’;
$vmb_const['WP_PLUGIN_URL'] = “http://”. $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . ‘/wp-content-mysite/plugins’;

The value of “plugin_dir_url” turns from:
http://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/wpseo-yoast/

to
http://mysite/wp-content-mysite/plugins/home/webs/wordp...

this is… adds fullpath to what should be the new plugin URL !!!!

No idea if this hast to with somekind of bug of WP or something not correct when defining the constant at VMB, but I am now stack with it.

Hi Chris. We only have security plugings forced on all sites so can’t help. With other plugins that use cache we share a cachedir but normally cache file name or extensions varies including the URL and/or is in each options database, s no conflicts.
In any case I understand VMB has some constant variables that include site name or user, I imagine you should be able to conf the cache to something like “cachedir/”.VMB_USER but I have not tried it myself.
