I strongly recommend that you talk to the guys over at b2evo. They are brilliant, and they can help you (use the forum). I switched to WordPress in January of 2008 and have lost track of the development of b2. Why this works (or worked in 2007): Basically this approach uses sym links to make sure the relative paths in the b2 code find all the files that they need to find. The stub file allows you to find an "index.php" file in the domain that you are adding. Put the two together, and the only problem you have left is login cookies. I solved that (above) but do not really understand the solution. No -- this should not impact any other addon domains that are running separate b2 installs or other software. So, again, I strongly recommend that you talk to the b2 evo developers before proceeding if you are adverse to down time. Mark — You should know that I wrote this post a lifetime ago (Dec 2007).

Are there any implications to it to my other add-on sites? Mark, before I try this, can you tell me why this works? Are there any implications to it to my other add-on sites?

I love b2evo and even made a donation to the development team. I wish them well. I was forced to switch back to wordpress in some cases because I needed features (via plugins) that were not yet available on b2evo. And, I did not have time to develop them myself due to other priorities. There are things about b2evo that are superior to wordpress -- it's just a little too early in the development lifetime for me to play. Well, it was a b2evo blog once upon a time.

There are things about b2evo that are superior to wordpress — it’s just a little too early in the development lifetime for me to play.
