Multisite: changed path and seem to point to wrong content

    Apologies for the badly written title for this thread – I’m not sure how best to frame the question.

    I have a multisite install using folders not subdomains. So I have mysite.com and mysite.com/test

    I stupidly made the mistake of changing the path for the ‘test’ site to ‘example’ – so that mysite.com/test would become mysite.com/example. The problem is that the pages and posts for /example seem to belong to the root site, as if the ‘example’ site is pulling its data from the wrong part of the database. I would expect it to be pulling post data from wp_2_posts; instead it’s pulling data from wp_posts.

    I can’t see how I’ve managed to do this or, more importantly, how to fix it. I’ve tried changing the path of the site back to mysite.com/test but the problem remains.

    Grateful for a push in the right direction.

    So, on further analysis, it seems that if I go to mysite.com/test/wp-admin/ I can see on the Dashboard 2 pages when I would expect to see 50 pages. If I click to edit one of the pages, I’m redirected to mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php (not mysite.com/test/wp-admin/post.php).

    So I’m guessing that somewhere WP is redirecting me to the root site.

    Okay, so I’m thinking about different ways to work around this problem. How does WordPress know which database tables are associated with which blogs?

    And the answer is… the site was missing a trailing slash

    In the wp_blogs table, I updated the ‘path’ field, adding a slash to the end and all is good now.
