Backend problems with multisite/subdomain

  • Hey y’all,

    I installed wp multisite successfully with subdomains. I can access the backend of wp for each subdomain/subpage. wp and plugins are up to date. Only basic plugins are enabled. I use betheme at the mainpage and betheme child at my subdomains.

    The wp installation on the mainsite is normal in speed and usability. At the subdomains, I can do settings and work in the backend as normal. But here the wp is significant slower.

    Also, if I would like to change sites, I can enter the editing-panel. I can change things, but I can’t save them / update them with the refresh-button. It never finishes. I also can’t see an preview. When I click, a new tag opens, but the preview never builds up.

    Does anybody have an idea whats the reason for this?
    Many thanks for your help!

  • Hi,

    Admin — site speed

    You can first check what is happening with the browser requests. Your dashboard might try to load something that affects the performance of your WordPress dashboard.

    Here is a helpful article/video that shows how you can measure such requests: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/network/

    If the initial server load is slow, it might be caused by the plugins or the theme you use. If that is the case, you’ll need to test them separately(disable/enable them until you find which one causes the issue).

    Updating entries

    It looks like WordPress can’t handle the Submit requests.

    You can open the network tab of your browser and check if there are any errors when updating/publishing an article. If there are bad requests, you can click on any of them and see if there are any helpful error messages.

    Before doing that, please enable the WP Debug mode.

    Also, it is recommended to check the health of your website using https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/health-check/ — you can scan your website to identify if something is wrong.

    Debugging has to happen in a staging environment.

    Finally, since you experience issues only with the subdomains of your WordPress multisite, they might not be configured correctly. You can try to use subdirectories and see if this approach makes a difference.

    Thanks,
    Aleksandar
