Genial la guía que han realizado en El Webmaster sobre WordPress Mu, pero no se han limitado a explicar el funcionamiento de esta versión de WordPress multiusuario sino que han aprovechado y han elaborado la traducción al español del fichero .po oficial de la versión 2.6.1 - la última a día de hoy.
La guía en sí está muy bien, pues lejos de ofrecerte un tutorial de instalación, que no lo requiere, se dedica a esplicar sus peculiaridades, y filosofía de funcionamiento. Además es de lectura muy fluida y comprensible.

All I can really say is “Wow, Thanks, I wasn’t expecting that”.
The response to the Introducing StayPress post has been more than I ever expected. What I imagined to be a set of plugins with a limited niche audience seems to have been picked up by a number of more mainstream sites.
Special thanks go to (amongst the hundreds of others who posted):
Work continues on the plugins, so thank you to everyone for their patience, obviously (well to me anyway) these plugins are quite complex so the development isn’t as quick as I would want but it is getting closer to an initial alpha release.
WordPress Mu 1.5.1 is out. Donncha announced:
The long delayed version 1.5.1 of WordPress MU has just been released. If you don’t want to read the rest of this post head to the download page and grab the zip file or tarball but make sure you come back here to read the upgrade docs.
This release of the popular multi-blog version of WordPress is synced with WordPress 2.5.1 and so has all the great features as well as bug and security fixes that went into that release.
Please upgrade!
I saw a few people looking for solutions to off-load wpmu files to Amazon-S3 service. This is something we wanted to try on our installation (just a few thousand blogs) so I wrote a plugin that will serve themes css and image files from S3.
The plugin uses the ‘stylesheet_directory_uri‘ filter to set the stylesheet uri (css file). In turn, the stylesheet uses the ‘url‘ method to call the image files of the theme so they get the same base url as the stylesheet. Most themes uses the ‘stylesheet_directory‘ call correctly so you will not run into trouble but if a theme uses it to call a php file you should change the call to use ‘template_directory‘.
Download: themes-s3.zip
Usage:
- Signup for an Amazon-S3 account.
- Create a bucket for your files. Since you have to select a globally unique name for your buckets I call it s3.domain.com were domain.com is my wpmu installation.
- To point s3 to your bucket setup a CNAME record: s3 -> s3.domain.com.s3.amazonaws.com. (don’t forget that extra dot at the end).
- Load your themes css and image files to your bucket keeping the exact directory structure for each theme (/wp-contents/themes/… ). You can use the excellent S3 FireFox Organizer to mange your files.
- Edit the plugin to include your bucket name.
- Place the plugin in the mu-plugins directory.
- Test, test and test all your themes!
Whats next? The next step I’m planning is to off-load the Java Scripts in the wp-includes folder. Also planned is an option to serve the users files from S3. If you are interested in helping in any way please leave a comment and we can take it from there.
