Redirect-loops in child networks with subdomain setup, using Nginx

  • I’m stuck in attempting to use Wp Multi Network plugin. I’d great appreciate some help/guidance. Below are relevant details I could think of:

    Setup

    1. Main network: Multisite with subdomains setup
    2. In wp-config.php I commented out the following lines 
      //define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'rooshia.com');
//define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
//define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
//define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
    3. I Use Nginx and here is my set up>> https://pastebin.com/2HYe7T8D

    I tested two child networks
    1st child nework uses own domain name; with A record pointing to the same IP address as the main network

    Network set up:

    Domain: childnework.com
    Path: /

    Issues

    • Logging in on the main network is not recognized by a child network and vise versa. I must log in every network as if they’re separate installs
    • I can access child network’s blog admin; i.e childnetwork.com/wp-admin/, front page: e.g childnetwork.com and its blog posts; e.g childnetwork.com/sample-page/ and post new articles. However, attempting to access child network admin, childnetwork.com/wp-admin/network/ results in a redirect-loop
    • From networks listing, network admin link of a child nework has double slashes; i.e https://childnetwork.com//wp-admin/network/

    2nd child nework: using a subdomain
    Network set up:

    Domain: childnework2.mainnework.com
    Path: /

    Issues
    All URLs, admin and front page, have redirect loop; all of them redirect to https://childnetwork2.mainnetwork.com/wp-signup.php?new=childnetwork2.mainnetwork.com

    Suggestions tried that didn’t work in both set ups:

    • Clearing cookies
    • Changing Authentication Unique Keys and Salts in wp-config.php
    • Tried both with & without define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, $_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’] ); in wp-config.php

  • Hey there, Did you find any solution to keep users logged when they visiting different networks ?

    Found a solution !!!
    adding this the my config.php
    // Cookies
    define( ‘COOKIEHASH’, md5( ‘mydomain.com’ ) );
    define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘mydomain.com’ );
    define( ‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/’ );
    define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );
    define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );
    define( ‘TEST_COOKIE’, ‘thing_test_cookie’ );
    define( ‘AUTH_COOKIE’, ‘thing_’ . COOKIEHASH );
    define( ‘USER_COOKIE’, ‘thing_user_’ . COOKIEHASH );
    define( ‘PASS_COOKIE’, ‘thing_pass_’ . COOKIEHASH );
    define( ‘SECURE_AUTH_COOKIE’, ‘thing_sec_’ . COOKIEHASH );
    define( ‘LOGGED_IN_COOKIE’, ‘thing_logged_in’ . COOKIEHASH );

    It’s actually posted in github by the developers of this plugin
