okay i think i’m answering my own +1 as i just now got it all to work for me … e.g., when logged in as super admin, i can now access any of the sites on the network without having to re-log in to sub sites and/or parked domains at sub sites …
as running start … per original thread by technomad42, i too was having issues with parked domains that were parked and had been set to “Primary” in that they required me to re-login even though i was logged in as Super Admin to mothership network … this was new issue in that pre 3.9 (and/or plugin upgrade) did not have this login issue …
in summary i had to tweak a couple things – primarily my config file and the plugin settings …
there is a third thing i did in that i deleted a mu plugin associated with networks-for-wordpress but not sure that is totally related ..??..
and fourth thing … in that i also changed my htaccess file in that i removed the <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> and </ifModule> that was not part of suggestion for htaccess updates per plugin (see exhibit two) ..??..
accordingly, thus share details as follows …
Step One – Changes to config file … in looking at my original config file vs what my latest version of WP 3.9 and MU Domain Mapped 0.5.4.3 showed, i noticed the new suggestion was slightly different from what i had … see below … so i made changes to config …
Step Two – Select plugin options … i then went back to Domain Mapping Configuration options and checked the following options ->
– no to -> Remote Login
– yes to -> Permanent redirect (better for your blogger’s pagerank)
– yes to -> User domain mapping page
– yes to -> Redirect administration pages to site’s original domain (remote login disabled if this redirect is disabled)
– yes to -> Disable primary domain check. Sites will not redirect to one domain name. May cause duplicate content issues.
Other Steps … not sure the changes to htaccess were important but i did them and that is highlighted in exhibit two …
the mu file i deleted = networks-mufunctions.php which is part of this plugin -> Networks for WordPress … and while my development site is using this plugin and has networks within networks, my production site was bombing in this sub site log in dept and currently does not have the plugin activated nor other networks hence the deletion just in case it was contributing to problem ..??..
lastly, the errors i was getting from logging in as super admin to primary site and then trying to access sub sites parked on network had this kind of error and redirection in url bar -> https://mysite.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
… thus i thought it was cookie issue at first and tried other options including Root Cookie plugin but nada …
conclusioin = the order in my config file and the settings in plugin were probably the strike zone that got me back on track … the other changes might have helped (or not) but i’m calling it quits and not retesting those hypothesis but share just in case …
cordially, chuck scott
===============================
Exhibit 01 – old config vs new
===============================
old config had different order of code, had base var defined, and had one line commented out per suggestion of the Networks-for-WordPress plugin …
new config suggestion was this and i replaced the old with this ->
define('MULTISITE', true);
define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'myprimarysite.com');
define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
the previous config was this ->
define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
$base = '/';
/**
* CS Comment out line below per plugins - WP Multi Network and Networks for WordPress
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'myprimarysite.com' );
*/
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
=========================
Exhibit 02 – htaccess
==========================
had been this ->
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $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).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
so i changed it to this sans the ifmodule ->
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $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]
# END WordPress
