DS Video network disconnection on Mi Box

When watching a video using the ‘DS Video’ app on the Xiaomi Mi Box, the network was disconnected, which was inconvenient. The same symptom occurred even after changing the video player to another one. Other apps, such as YouTube and Netflix, did not experience network interruptions.

The cause I found today was a router problem. I used ‘Smart Connect’ of the ASUS router, and this was the problem. ‘Smart Connect’ is a function that can use 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies with the same SSID. It is assumed that the network is disconnected when this frequency change occurs in ‘DS Video’.

After disabling the ‘Smart Connect’ function on the router, there has been no network disconnection problem so far.

The destination is WordPress multisite

I purchased Synology NAS and installed the WordPress package to run a blog. I wanted to run two WordPress, but I couldn’t do it with a package, so I downloaded the installation file from the WordPress site and installed the latest version of WordPress.

Then, I found out that the first WordPress installed with the Synology package was not the latest version. I installed the latest WordPress and moved my posts to use the latest version.

When I ran two WordPress, I realized that I had to install and update various plugins on each site, and this was the first time I realized that WordPress has a multi-site feature.

WordPress Multisite has a common management part called ‘Network’, and the first site created is called ‘Main’. For example, plug-in installation is done in ‘network’. Site can be added easily from the ‘Sites’ menu of ‘Network’ and the host name can be changed. The ‘main’ host name must be changed in the DB tables.

WordPress Multisite uses one root (web) folder (separating sites and data with DB tables) and operates in a sub-domain method rather than a sub-directory method, allowing you to create sites with as many independent host names as you want And it’s nice to be able to use the plugin on any site that has multisited.

Plug-ins that do not support multi-site are installed from’network’, but settings must be made in the plug-in menu of each site. Examples are Google SiteKit and a Redirections plugin.

Currently, WordPress is operated as a multi-site due to its ease of management. For those who want to install WordPress for the first time, I recommend starting with Multisite.

To start with multisite, go to /wp-config.php after installing WordPress for the first time. You can insert the following content above (right) /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging./

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

Problems with no new posts in WordPress

  1. Operating environment
    • Server: Synology
    • Hostname: www.wildbit.kr
    • Install location: /wordpress
    • Connection method: Connect to WordPress installed in the subfolder by host name using .htaccess
    • Using the Cache Enabler plugin
  2. Problem
    • When connecting to WordPress with the host name after writing a new post, the newly written post is not displayed.
    • If you specify the WordPress installation location in the URL, a new post will be displayed.
  3. Cause
    • When connecting to WordPress, the Cache Enabler creates a cache file in the cache folder.
    • When accessing WordPress installed in a subfolder by host name, a cache file is created in the cache folder root only once and cannot be deleted (cleared).
    • Cache folder: /wordpress/wp-content/cache/cache-enabler/hostname
  4. Resolution
    • Specify the absolute path (in bold shown below) in the .htaccess file RewriteRule
    • This will display the full path including the host name and directory, not the host name in the browser address bar.
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?wildbit.kr$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.wildbit.kr/wordpress/$1

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?wildbit.kr$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ https://www.wildbit.kr/wordpress/index.php [L]
