    Hi out there,

    I installed WP 3.8 and migrated my site https://www.domain.de with home Directory in $DOMAIN/home/ and with content Directory in $DOMAIN/_wp_content to multisite. The blog itself is fine.

    When logging in as admin and then click to network administration, WP will look into $DOMAIN/home/wp-admin/network which is not existant. It is located in $DOMAIN/_wp_Content/wp-admin/network.

    Once I Change manually to that URL I get Access to the admin page but I can’t add a new blog there. The entries in the Navigation are not there.

    The wrong Location of Content also happens if I click onto the WordPress button in the upper left corner of the Screen.

    Who can help?
    Knut

    Thanks a lot for your answer.

    Problem changed slightly. I forgot to made the directory blogs.dir during the migration to multisite. Now it is possible to set up a new blog but ONLY IF I CHANGE THE URL which shows to the blog directory and not to the wp Directory (see above).

    Your link is not appropriate for me since I have not changed any locations, neither domains, nor servers. It is everything at the same place.

    Any further ideas?

    Hmmm… checked also the db table entries in WP options table. Site-URL und Domain-URL are set correctly (from my perspective).

    OK, ich checked several blog entries for this but I didn’t find a solution yet. But I recognized that the .htaccess plays an important role.

    Here the .htaccess in the blog Folder:
    ##########################################################
    # protect wpconfig.php
    <files wp-config.php>
    Order deny,allow
    deny from all
    </files>

    # BEGIN WordPress

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /Knuts-Segel-Touren/
    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).*) homepages/14/d71175075/htdocs/_wp_s6ibl0g/$2 [L]
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ homepages/14/d71175075/htdocs/_wp_s6ibl0g/$2 [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]

    # END WordPress
    ###########################################################

    Here the .htaccess in the wp Folder:
    ###########################################################
    # protect wpconfig.php
    <files wp-config.php>
    Order deny,allow
    deny from all
    </files>

    # BEGIN WordPress

    # END WordPress
    ###########################################################

    Appreciate any help.

    OK, found a solution. The issue was in the RewriteRule of .htaccess file in the flog Folder (not the WP Folder). It was pretty time consuming to get the regular expressions understood ??

    Now the .htaccess is as below:

    If anyone can have a look at the .htaccess and at the remaining questions below, that would be great!

    # BEGIN WordPress
    # /Knuts-Segel-Touren/ ist the blog folder (not the WP folder)
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /Knuts-Segel-Touren/
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

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

    # Do nothing if file or folder is matched
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^ – [L]

    # Changed $1 into ../_wp_s6ibl0g/ and it works fine. But the reason why network is
    # the only one referring to the blog folder /Knuts-Segel-Touren/ is quite unclear.
    RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) ../_wp_s6ibl0g/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ wp/$1 [L]
    RewriteRule . index.php [L]
    # END WordPress

    Remaining questions:
    1. Why is a trailing slash to /wp-admin necessary?
    2. Why are the other WP .php files are catched out of the WP Folder ../_wp_s6ibl0g/ and the network .php files not?

    Within db there is:
    siteurl = https://www.diemel-net.de/_wp_s6ibl0g (my wp folder)
    home = https://www.diemel-net.de/Knuts-Segel-Touren (my blog folder)

    3. Why hasn’t this being set up during the installation routine properly? Did I made a mistake??

    4. What are the last 2 rules good for?
    RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ wp/$1 [L] (Folder wp will not exist)
    RewriteRule . index.php [L] (all else is linked to index.php?!?)

    5. Are there any issues likely when I proceed adding new sites and is there anything I should take care of?

    Merry Christmas to all of you.
