Network in subfolders

  • I used to do WordPress multisite and I rememer then all my blogs user to be under blog directory, like this:

    mydomain.com/blog/my-second-blog-name/
    mydomain.com/blog/my-third-blog-name/
    and so on.

    But now that I created network for my new site, it seems that this doesn’t happen anymore. Can I somehow still get the blogs to be created under blog directory? And main site/blog would be at mydomain.com

    Thanks!

    When you created the new network, did you set it up to be a SUBDIRECTORY type?

    (You might want to check the instructions here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Create_A_Network)

    I only run subdomain type networks, but I think there may be a way to add in the “blog” slug in the network settings?

    Or, have you experimented to see what happens when you add a new site with the slug already in place? that is, put in “blog/new-site-name” when you create a new site.

    Yes, I’m using subdirectory type as sites do work in subdirecotries now (mydomain.com/my-blog-name works perfectly). But the thing is I want the blogs to have the blog suffix in url (mydomain.com/blog/my-blog-name/) which doesn’t work and i don’t see any option in network settings.

    If I add the slug to already existing blog, then blog gives 404 (even after re saving permalink settings).

    You could probably use .htaccess rules to rewrite your urls from mydomain.com to mydomain.com/blog. I’m not any help with that unfortunately.

    Can you post the current version of your htaccess file, and maybe someone can suggest a rewrite rule for you?

    I don’t have htaccess as I’m using nginx on server. But all settings are default what wordpress ask to set as I have been following the Creating the network inscrutions.

    Did you try creating a new site and in the box manually entering “blog” along with your new site? Enter “blog/my-new-site.com”. Will it let you do that?

    Sorry, I’m not much help with nginx either!
