I installed your multiblog on my WP blog and followed your instructions; but got this message:

Virtual Mutliblog appears to be present(though inactive), but there are some issues with it:

Not a file: /home3/homedesi/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/multiblog/wp-config.php
Not a file: /home3/homedesi/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/multiblog/wp-config-vmb.php

Not sure what this means and there are no files with these names in those locations.

Can you help?

I haven’t tried WP 3.0′s multisite capabilities, so I can’t compare.

WP multisite is pretty much the old WordPress MU, so I imagine it has the same limitations that MU did. I do recall people saying much the same about MU as you have about multisite. I also seem to remember comments that once you’ve set up MU, it’s hard to change things later. Again, haven’t tried it myself though.

Hi,
Is this true about WP3 multisite – it’s easy to setup multisite with same domain via subdomain or subfolder but NOT that easy for multiple domains?

I found multiblog is far easier for multidomains.

hi,

what if my blogs are on different c-class IPs, but on the SAME server? Can I still use Virtual Multiblog? And how?

I think the jury is still out on WP3 multisite succeeding VMB.

I did watch the video and he definitely talks about multiple domains and having a ms-plugins folders which works that same as the mu-plugins does.

He also made it sound like it could all be achieved with a YAMMs plugin.

The MU domain mapping plugin.

Either one would appear to make multi domain site setups easier.

However, I have not had a chance to test either.

I also came across this but it seems like too much effort for too little savings;

As was pointed out in the WordPress forums, the new multi-user capabilities of WordPress 3.0 will *not* replace VMB. The new multiuser capabilities are just too limited.

There is a 53 minute video explaining WP3.0 Multiuser functions at
http://wordpress.tv/2010/05/31/boone-gorges-wordpress-3...

I believe they said it is very much meant for multiple DOMAINS, too.
