    Have you tried going to Network Admin–Sites–All Sites, then hover over one of your subsites, and click edit. Then go to the Settings tab, and see if anything is entered under Blogname? Is it blank there?

    Hi Bet thanks for your inputs and sorry for replying late.
    yes the blogname did conatined a valid name.After days of searching i found that the issue was the encoding which was mentioned in wp-config file.
    originaly it was set to define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8mb4’);
    Due to this WordPress was not able to create necessary multisite tables for given subsite eventhough it created subsite on UI front.Changed that to utf8 encoding like define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’) and it worked like a charm.

    Griga_M, it sounds like you have a different issue, although the symptoms are the same. Can you please submit your own fresh support ticket (per forum guidelines)?
