Thank you so much! Couldn’t figure it out for the life of me!

The batch id is meant to manage what you are looking for. GEDCOM file loaded into separate batches have NO links to each other – they are totally separate (unless something goes wrong ).

The reason the second batch doesn’t show up is that no index is create form them automatically – you have to create an index for the second batch yourself.

If you edit the Person Index page, you will see this: [rootsPersonaIndexPage batchId="1"/]

Just create a new page, Title it what you will, and add this is the content: [rootsPersonaIndexPage batchId="2"/] (or 3, 4, etc…) Viola, an index for the second batch…

I’ll try to do some multisite testing this weekend. Sorry you’re having issues!

Hi Ed! Quick (or maybe not) question. Does rootspersona allow separate trees, and if so how do I implement that feature. I tried to, but it kept trying to tie them together and mix a couple of pages together, picture from one tree to a page on another, and adding people from one to the other. If this is done in the batch id’s, I couldn’t get the 2nd batch of people to integrate with the people’s list. I do have several trees that do not intersect (that I have worked out yet, fingers crossed though) and I wanted to display what I have in easy to manage trees.

Thanks for your time!

The plugin is not working for me in multisite either. Had no problem with single site install.

Hi Ed, Just an update to let you know I have manually re-installed the plugin and have discovered it seems to work for my main site, but for the other multisites the rootspersona under the tools tab still shows a blank page. I actually want to use it on my personal site which is one of the additional sites attached to my network (I have a multisite setup as outlined here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network).
I will have a see if I can work out what is happening and let you know how I go. Thanks again for your help so far. Cheers, Michelle

Thanks for such a quick reply Ed! Originally installed via the WP Admin interface, will manually try to re-install it now and see how I go. By network setup I mean I am running multiple WP sites on the one WP install. So I install plugins via network manager admin and network activate it, then go through to the individual site dashboard and customise it for that particular site I want it on. Will let you know how I go. Cheers, Michelle

I’ve seen that before when it didn’t install properly. I’v e never been able to determine why it doesn’t install the database 100% of the time. Can you uninstall and try installing again? How are you installing?

I am running it on 3.3.1 myself – its just that no one hit the works on button…

What do you mean by network setup? I run in locally and on a hosted server…

Hi, firstly thanks for the plugin, it sounds great, just what I am looking for! I am currently trying to get it up and running on my personal WP 3.3.1 network site. I can see rootspersona 2.5.0 under the settings tab and its options, but the rootspersona under the tools tab shows a blank page. I am presuming this is where I should be able to upload my GEDCOM file and get things set up? Any plans to get it running on WP 3.3.1 on a network setup (I see it is not yet compatible with the latest version as yet)? Any ideas on what may be wrong and things I could try? Cheers, Michelle
