Network Admin button Missing! It's not on far right!

Did you use OZH Admin Bar?

If you did, disable it and link will show up, it worked for me if this is the issue?

It’s not a button, it’s a link.

And it only shows for super admin.

Can you visit yoursite.com/wp-admin/network/ ?

I have the same problem.

wp-admin/network/ says I don’t have sufficient permissions to access this page.

Different problem. Pease make a NEW topic (we can’t split them here alas) and try tuning off all your plugins.

I thought I was answering Andrea’s question: I cannot visit wp-admin/network due to lack of permissions. I have no Network Admin link (and no active plugins).

It looks like the real problem is I’m on a DreamHost shared server and they don’t support multisite. That means moving to VPS according to DH. That’s been my day.

Andrea was asking the person who posted originally ?? sorry to hear about dream host and a VPs upgrade. It’s not too painful, but it’s a hassle.

Did you enable multisite at all? You don;t get that link until you go through the whole create a network process.

Andrea,

I followed the process in the ebook to where you have the screen shot of the Network Admin link at the top of the dashboard. I didn’t get the link and Tools > Network didn’t change. When I asked DreamHost if there was some problem on the server that prevented the change, the tech said, “I also would like to remind you that Dreamhost does not support WordPress MU on shared servers.”

If there’s a way I can stay on the shared server it would make things easier. The site was single user for over a month. Removing blogs, pages, and deactivating plugins allowed a sub-directory network but maybe something went wrong there. Do you think it might work to delete all the content of my root directory and upload the original folders and files from the WP zip file and start over?

I followed the process in the ebook to where you have the screen shot of the Network Admin link at the top of the dashboard.

So you added the ONE line to your wp-config.php?

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

If you did AND it doesn’t work, then … DreamHost wins :/

Though WHERE in your wp-config did you put that?

Yeah, I seem to recall there was a couple hosts that munged your install if they detected multisite.

“I also would like to remind you that Dreamhost does not support WordPress MU on shared servers.”

Doesn’t support and doesn’t allow are two different things. They need to be clear.

Ipstenu, I added that line after define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', false ); and before the comment beforedefine ('WPLANG', '');. That gave me Tools> Network which got me to the Network installation pages. I copied & pasted as directed and added the blog.dir and mu-plugins to the content folder. And then got various errors, settling down on insufficient permissions.

I’m going to delete everything in root and try again before signing up for a VPS. But after reading a lot of forum threads, doing this on the cheap server looks shaky. Also, I’ve asked DH to clarify.

20+ years on the net and still a newbie.

And then got various errors, settling down on insufficient permissions.

Okay… that confuses me cause you said this:

I have no Network Admin link (and no active plugins).

Where are you getting these permissions errors?

When I go to mysite.com/wp-admin/network/

But you have no link, correct? Just making sure I understand the whole scenario ??

Did you log off and log back on?

Look in the db. did the extra tables get created?
