• I have a brand new user that gets the error page every time they try to access the admin. I have made them an editor of the site in question. When viewing the site they have the admin bar showing that they have been logged in, but can’t access the backend. I have other users that can login and use the admin side fine on the same site.

    The site is https://congress.archatl.com. I am forcing a subsite to be the main site in wp-config and wonder if that is causing my problem. I would love to figure out a better way to do that.

    I feel like the config and htaccess are pretty simple and generic.

    wp-config

    define('MULTISITE', true);
    define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
    define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'congress.archatl.com');
    define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
    define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
    define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 5);

    .htaccess

    # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    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]
    # END WordPress

    Can anyone give me a place to start looking deeper into this so I can fix it? Multisite is still pretty new to me.

    Thank you.

    Okay, I still can’t figure this out. I have reset the multisite to use the basic multisite .htaccess and wp-config settings. I can’t find anything wrong. I have created two test users and if they are not assigned to a subsite they can access their profile and an empty dashboard, but the moment I link them to a site they can’t asked the dashboard and just have the error page without an error. My super admin account is working everywhere and if I bump one of these test users to super admin they can access the dashboard. This is so strange.

    I have unactivated all network plugins and unactivated all the plugins in the subsite. Any other troubleshooting thoughts?

    Apparently changing users to local Administrators gives them access to the dashboard. It is any user role or group under this that isn’t being setup properly?

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to replace the user data table for a single multisite? As far as I can tell that is where this problem resides. All users can access any other site I assign them to except this one.

    Removed all plugins without a improvement, but changing the theme did allow access. So I was barking up the wrong tree the whole time. Now trying to isolate what in the theme is causing this.
