Nginx Multisite subdirectory is 301 redirecting to root of site

  • Hi,
    I’m having some trouble with parts of my site redirecting (301 according to curl -I)
    According the curl -I, they are only redirecting when there is not a forward-slash on the URL.
    This is not the case when viewed in a browser. In a browser, all subdirectories are redirected to the root domain.
    The only time they are not is when I navigate to a post from Admin > Posts > Edit Post > View Post.

    I am using @pothi ‘s git that’s found here: https://github.com/pothi/WordPress-Nginx (using the set up for sub-directories mu-dir-domainname.com.conf)

    I’ve changed only the parts need to be personalized to my setup (domain, etc.) AND I commented out the line rewrite ^/[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+(/wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 break; in the /etc/nginx/mu-dir.conf file (at least that’s how I understood the instructions in that file)

    It looks like the most solid configuration I’ve found, but this one issue I’m having some trouble figuring out.
    @pothi, if you see this, is there any advice you might be able to offer?

    Thanks,
    Chase

    UPDATE:
    After some more testing, not much has changed.
    The only thing I’ve found is that when I click from the admin area to view the subdirectory sites, it works. But if I copy that same URL and paste it into a new browser tab, it does not.

    I did the testing this morning on a computer that had not yet accessed the site.

    Please help!

    This is the newest version of this problem: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/90995/nginx-multisite-redirects-incorrectly-on-chrome-ie-and-mobile-but-works-corr

    Help!? ??

    Hello,

    The default configuration file will work without commenting out any line. If you found the instructions elsewhere, then it may not work. That said, the 301 redirect is a strange issue. Did you try this configuration on a demo install with the default theme and no active plugins?

    Alright I figured it out. Thank you for your help here and at stack exchange @pothi. What it came down to was a little snippet of code I put in a while back to redirect a user to the home page if not logged in. Something I was no longer planning to use, but forgot that I put in.

    I really appreciate your help in this though. By disabling everything but wordpress (all plugins, caching, everything.) it still happened. I decided to change the theme used on my root site to the same theme used on the sub-sites and it resulted in an endless redirect. boom. That’s when the light turned on.

    Thanks again! -Chase

    And if anybody wants that code, here it is: it word pretty well! ??

    Redirect visitor to home page if not logged in:

    <?php if (
    !in_array($GLOBALS[‘pagenow’], array(‘wp-login.php’, ‘wp-register.php’))
    && !is_admin()
    && !is_user_logged_in()
    ) {
    wp_redirect(‘https://www.example.com/&#8217;, 301);
    exit;
    }
    ?>
