I was looking to find a solution for making clone websites of my existing WordPress website. the thing is I want to make clones of the website so if one of them will somehow get down the others will be Live. For Example The Piratebay.com they have a lot of clone sites and I you would upload a torrent to one site all of them will have the same torrent available, this is just for example purposes. I want to make a clone of my website so if I add a new post to my any clone website or the original all of the websites will have the same post available on it. For sure they will have their own domain name. The website will use MySql as the form of database. I have searched all over the internet and on StackOverflow as well and couldn't fine a solutuion
Use the same Cloud MySQL database (e.g. Googles Cloud SQL) for all websites. Install wordpress on the first domain and then just copy the wordpress folder to the other destinations (or modify the wordpress-configuration at the other destinations).
Don't use absolute paths for images in your posts etc. (not http://example.com/something/image.jpg).

Currently, there are gigabytes of images stored on a server that I can access using username#serverip. It is not my server, but I have access to it. Using cd Storage followed by ls -l shows all the files that I would like to be able to be accessible to anyone who visits the actual website. However, all of those files, while they are on the server, are not visible on the website and I was wondering how I could go about doing that. Is there a way to make the files on the server be visible on the website as well?
Are these images? Or just assorted files?
In either case, and without knowing what your actual implementation of the website, generally all webservers have a static resources folder.
In this folder you would put things like your general website images, like favicon, etc.
Put all that stuff in there. Or configure the webserver to use the existing one as such. This is not necessarily best practice though as all of those items would be exposed (potentially) without authentication.
I know the "merge tables" question has already been asked in a variety of ways, but I can't seem to find an answer to my specific question.
Here's my deal: I've been designing a WordPress site for an organization for four weeks. When I began designing I took an export of the database and imported into my local development site. In the meantime, this organization has naturally continued to post things and receive/approve comments on their live site. On the local side, I have also created posts, edited pages, changed widgets, etc during development. So now that we're ready to launch the new site, I need to figure out how to merge these last four weeks of database changes from both the live site and the local site without losing anything on either side. How is this done?
If there have been inserts to both databases, then unfortunately there isn't a good way to merge. If your database contains the latest edits for the Post IDs that are shared then you can export them to XML and then import them into the other site.
This is done with the WordPress Importer plugin which can also be installed by visiting /wp-admin/import.php, the export can be done on /wp-admin/export.php. You can also remove any conflicts from the XML file manually, but make sure that you keep it well-formed.
I am responsible for a few web sites of my organization.
I use Joomla! 2.5.9 for those web sites. They all are running at the same server.
I use K2 component for content managing.
I have a general website in which shows all the staff information at the 'Staff' page. Also some of those people and their contents are shown in another department's website. So, there are databases for each web site.
For example:
In the general website (let's say general.org), when I click on the 'Staff' menu item, page shows all of the people work at my organization. Also they work at different departments.
In another web site (eg: education.general.org) when I click on the 'Staff' menu item, It shows the people work at education department.
But for each web site, I have different user accounts which means a modification in one of them does not affect the other one. If the one of the education staff tries to change his profile picture on the education web site, he also has to do it on the general web site.
And sometimes one person might be working at two departments. Thus he has to edit three times of his data.
Is it possible to merge the records for all websites? In other words, I want everyone to insert/update their data on the general web site, and the other web sites will be updated automatically.
You would have to have one Joomla site to do this. The subdomains would have its own template/style or whatever, but would run on the same Joomla installation. The subdomains then just map to a specific menu item on the general page. That would be one way to do it.
Another way would involve coding a custom user plugin which updates the tables from the other Joomla installations after a profile was edited. If you're familiar with PHP you could probably do this yourself, otherwise you need someone with coding knowledge to do it for you.
Or you could set up Joomla to use authentification based on a LDAP database (http://docs.joomla.org/LDAP). However I'm not sure how well it works with password and profile changes.
That's about the solutions I would see.
When developing WordPress themes for a site with a large amount of posts, how can I dynamically pull existing post data from the live version of the site onto my testing site? I already know about WordPress's export feature, but that's one-and-done, not dynamically queried.
Plan A:
Proposed Solution:
Create read-only user in live site's database
PRECAUTION: change test site's prefix from "wp_" to "test_"
Problems:
Settings (like current theme) on test site cannot be changed, thanks to read-only user
No posts found in "test_posts", even though I'd like it to search "wp_posts"
Is there an easier way or existing solution to avoid rewriting WordPress system files on the test site? I'd really rather not rewrite WordPress's database interface...

just duplicate the DB, re-name and call DB in wp-config!
I'm using wordpress as a simple backend CMS for a flash site. Posts are queried and displayed in list format on the frontend. I want to be able to make post edits or add new posts on my staging server, and have a quick and easy way to publish changes to production without having to do a full mysql db dump / import. I've looked around for plugins or solutions but haven't found any. Seems like wordpress needs a "publish to production" option.
The intended workflow is that users can create or edit content as much as they want, then an editor will go through it and approve content. Once everything looks good on staging, we publish to production. Any ideas?
Some of this thread at Wordpress might be relevant for you as it concerns moving from staging to production and the use of relative and absolute paths, etc.
WordPress does have a preview button that should allow you to see the WP content without actually publishing. If you must see it in the flash site, I think your best bet will be to setup your flash site with XML-PRC.
