I have a WP multisite setup which has the some plugins installed. Im having some issues inside the admin panels of the subsites.

For the Network and the main sub-site (i.e. /, the root URL), it works as expected. But on any non-root URL sub-site (i.e. /subsite1, /subsite2), the plugins are currently breaking because it’s trying to load the CSS & JS assets under that sub-site path. It causes the plugins to break entirely for any of the non-root subsites (i.e. infinite loading in the post/page editor, settings will not load).

Currently assets are loading like this: 

https://example.com/site/SUBSITE/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/assets/build/css/acf-global.css

But Should be loading like this: 

https://example.com/site/wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/assets/build/css/acf-global.css

I’ve done some research but it seems this problem varies for everyone and the solutions i’ve found have not worked.

My wp-config has this

define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true ); 
define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'mydomain' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/site/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

And my .htacces have this

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /site/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Im at my wits end, Im posting in multiple forums to see if I can get some ideas to fix this

(The URL given is a sample page on one of the subsites residing in a directory.)

The images are uploaded to https://ssnet.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/12/files, and they show up fine with the direct URL to location.

The problem is that the blog attempts to access images at https://sabbathissues.org/files/ and I even tried to specify https://sabbathissues.org/uploads in in the multi-site settings, but neither of the URLs work even though they are specified in the upload_url_path settings. Deleting the line doesn’t work either – even after flushing both Litespeed and browser caches.

I use the Litespeed plugin on a Linux an Apache server (Apache is disabled in favor of Litespeed.)

My .htaccess file looks like this:

DIRECT ALL TRAFFIC TO SECURE SITE

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

There is no ms-settings file in my “wp-includes” directory.

I’ve discovered this is because we are using the Multisites Enhancements plugin with the following option selected:
– Add status labels for no-index and external domain to blogs in “my Sites” menu

If I turn off this option the menu goes back to normal, however, we can no longer see which sites are set to a no-index status which we use between staging environments to identify on production that the option is turned off. No other plugin has affected this menu before and we are using a fair amount of plugins in our multisite network. This is the first time we’ve had an issue with the menu displaying incorrectly.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Experiencing a problem with a redirect loop when accessing WP Admin.

But it’s only affecting subsites, not the root site or network admin.

Plus, the redirect only affects the /wp-admin/ folder. Going directly to /wp-admin/index.php (and all other files in the folder) work fine.

The network is setup with subsites using their own domains, via domain name mapping.

HTACCESS has the following:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

I’ve checked the permissions on the wp-admin folder and they appear to be set correctly. There are no additional htaccess files in the wp-admin folder either.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Thanks in advance!

It looks ok, but when I log in as admin to a subsite, it tells me I’ll have to do 9 more updates in the Admin menu at the top.

If I click on the update link, I’m sent back to site 1 (normal) but everything is up to date.

An idea ? Thanks for your lights.
