Easily Switch Between Multiple Wordpress Admins – WP Admin Switcher V1
Just finished my first plugin for wordpress called WP Admin Switcher. You can download this plugin here
After you have installed this plugin you will be able to add information of multiple blogs you manage, the plugin will show you a drop down on top of all pages and let you switch between blogs. When you switch the plugin will attempt to show the same page of the other blogs administration panel. This plugin also works with free blogs from wordpress.com.
The plugin requires CURL to be installed with PHP. Also please make sure to set the permission of the folder “tempfiles” to 777. Another point to keep in mind is that when you enter the URL of the administration panel in the WP Admin Switcher management page , please make sure you enter the correct URL. Some blogs are set to force www , so the page will keep redirecting to http://abc.com/wp-admin/ if you enter the URL like this http://www.abc.com/wp-admin/ . So make sure that enter the correct wp-admin URL.
Have Fun!
2nd Sept , 2007 : As someone pointed out there are several blogs out there that dont use mod_rewrite or permalinks , so thus plugin wont work out of the box for them , they need to create a mod_rewrite rule to point to the main index.php for wp-admin/virtual/ requests. If you dont have mod_rewrite available then this plugin is not going to work for you , maybe the next version will make it independent of mod_rewrite.
24th Aug , 2007 : A bug was found which was leading to a breakdown in the plugins functionality , thanks to a user , this has been weeded out.
5th Aug , 2007 : Some adjustments were made to the script based on user feedback, if you are seeing messages which indicates that your request was blocked , please download the plugin again from the link above and see if it helps.

I have problem, when i install script all is fint there, but when i addded link, i see this page
The requested URL /wp-admin/virtual/2/admin.php was not found on this server.
what should be the problem?? anyone?
Thanks for help

Same problem. I double checked and CURL is indeed installed, and I’m using the proper web site name. Help?
Actually, after re-reading, I think it’s related to the fact that my hosting provider allows mod_rewrite but forces PATH links.
I don’t know what I need to add to my .htaccess to create the mod_rewrite fix.
Help?
I could not the plugin to function with 2.3.1. There was no link in the admin to manage and when I pulled it up directly it would not execute. Hope for updates soon.
Hi. Is there an easy way to install CURL with PHP? Something for dummies? Thanks…
I understand that you are sharing this with the world, but a bit of documentation would a nice thing to have. I am not even saying documentation for installing CURL, just documentation for using your switcher plug-in.

I installed the WP Admin Switcher with high hopes, as I have about 20 blogs. The install and switching blogs works good, however when I go to add a hyperlink to a post while in a secondary blog, the popup is blank and ther is no place to add a url. Any ideas why?

The zip archive for download contains the WRONG .htaccess file. The contents of the .htaccess file is:
————————————–
Options All -Indexes
deny from all
————————————–
This will NOT enable a switch between blogs. It does NOTHING. Which is why this plugin will not work.
Please upload a zipfile with the RIGHT htaccess file for us to download! Thanks.
Also, in WP2.7 on Firefox the drop-down box is inactive. You can’t touch it to toggle sites. I guess it’s because it has a lower Z-index than the it is in, so that it’s efectively hidden from touch, but stilll visible. But I’m not sure, it’s just a guess.
Please fix. Thanks
Sorry, I was too quick about the htaccess file. That was not the problem. It seems that the thing I needed to do was to set the folder permissions to 777 on the tempfiles directory, all files and subfolders. I was quite sure I had done that already, but something must have gone wrong.
However:
The Firefox-problem persists. In IE the dropdown works, but in Firefox it’s not accessible. Also, it’s hiding behind search boxes on several admin pages.
I have the same Firefox problem as Claus Schmidt above, AND whenever I try to edit or delete the entries I get this error message:
You don’t have permission to access /blog/wp-admin/admin.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
So I can’t even delete the entries!
I followed all directions (folder permissions, renaming htaccess file, cURL) and no go. :I”m using WordPress version 2.7
I read your blog for quite a long time and should tell you that your posts are always valuable to readers.
