Well thats okay! Like I said, it works beautifully for me when using the New Blog Templates plugin. I only have to set it once on the template and never touch it again since all new blogs created automatically inherit the plugin settings which already include my email address to be notified. Thanks again

I actually considered making it Multisite-able, so that you could have a ‘master’ email that all posts are sent to. I’m a firm believer in not coding things I’m not going to use, and also as a webhost employee, I can see that getting nasty fast. In theory, you could fork this (it’s pretty simple) and have it run without any settings, toss it in MU-plugins, and you’d never have to set it up again.

Absolutely amazing plugin!! I have been looking for something like this for quite some time for my Multisite network. I wanted to monitor each and every post that is posted on a sub site and this plugin combined with the amazing “New blog templates” plugin (from WPMU DEV) allowed me to do just that!

On the template blog, I simply set up the settings so it was my email address being notified when a new post is published and each new blog would automatically inherit this setting. Therefore, any time someone posts on their own blog I as super admin gets notified! Brilliant! Thanks for the hard work on this.

Or I can redirect it with .htaccess, but why? Author pages are valuable methods of displaying content in a way that helps your SEO (why do you think Google ranks page authors?)

Yes, I installed Git. It’s pretty simple to do, compared to everything else I installed it on my LiquidWeb server, but DreamHost has it pre-installed on most boxes now. It’s pretty popular with most hosts.

So… you installed Git in your server? What host are you using?

The problem with yourdomain.com/?author=1 can easily be solved using a nice plugin.

In the best case scenario, my config files would be set and forget (heh), but in reality, I’m often tweaking things. I suppose it is a bit more ‘using git for backups’ though. It’s not like I can’t rebuild my configs while waiting on my coffee at this point. On a non-backup side of things, I have code that is private and needs to stay that way not for password reasons but for … well. Reasons, damn it. Dad’d be mighty annoyed if they weren’t.

A fair point. I always exclude config from my repos — my basic use case is “have a place that’s not on my machines to store versioned code for client xyz” rather than “use git for backups”, so the needs are a bit different.

I have an inherent distrust of someone else’s code on someone else’s server. Especially when some of the code I want to backup (wp-config files) have passwords in them.
