“New Blog Templates” plugin by WPMU DEV in multisite it is not working

[enmassellc]

I created a multisite WordPress site mywebsite.com, I added new site(website) using subdomains simplepack.mywebsite.com.
I am trying to create a template using the site simplepack.mywebsite.com and the “New Blog Templates” plugin by WPMU DEV.
The template1.mywebsite.com will be a copy of simplepack.mywebsite.com.
My hosting is with Godaddy and it is a VPS Server.
I created the template but I am getting the message “You don't have permission to access this resource.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.“
“Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server.Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”
In the uploads/sites I see that there is created a file with the site ID number but the directory is empty.
In the main directory I have “wildcard” and in the DNS Management I have A * 00.00.00.00(the value ).
I do not know why the template plugin do not copy the simplepack.mywebsite.com tables in to the template directory and why the wildcard is not working.
I asked assistants from Godaddy on the wildcard setting and they said that it is set properly.
I spent weeks trying to find the solution, please help! Thank you!!!!!

I resolved the 403 Forbidden error changing the *.mysites.com subdomain to direct to "/public_html "
but the plugin is still not copying(cloning) the simplepack.mywebsite.com tables in to the template files directory . I would really appreciate some help.

Hi @enmassellc ,

This is because the plugin needs to run the grunt build task first. In order to better handle this though I just made a minor change that should fix this issue for you as it is. You can try one of the following:

1. Run the grunt task (it might be a bit complicated if you are not familiar) or
2. Re-download and replace the entire plugin or
3. Just change file blogtemplates/blogtemplates.php in line 58 similar to how it's done here :

I find the 3rd one the easiest one :)

Hi, Thank you for your tips. After long days and nights I found that I have to create the new sites in same database with the multisite site. I had them in the same hosting but different databases. This tip could save me a lot of time. About the wildcard domain, first I trusted the Godaddy agents to fix it but they were wrong. With everything been in the same database the wildcard had to be set to direct to public_html. For now everything is working so I am very happy. Thank you!
