Redirecting to multsite root?!

The reason is as you suspect. The .htaccess file in your root that should be for your multisite is interferring with your WP test site.

IMO, that is not a good setup. You are having problems now. Even if you fix this particular problem, I almost guarantee more problems in the future.

I recommend a different test setup. For example maybe another site called wwd-test.com

If you show me your .htaccess I might be able to help you. The multisite .htaccess that resides in your root.

First of all, thanks for that quick reply.

Sorry, I can’t go for another site, now my tasks are 80% done. I should’ve came here much earlier.. Why I came now? Because I doubt, I will delay the delivery further, because of this scenario. IF I can get rid of this situation, I can concentrate on my tasks..

Here is my doubt. Can’t we have a standalone, where there is a multisite installed in root?

Here is the .htaccess from my root.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [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]

</IfModule>

And here is the .htaccess from my /test ( in case you want to see it too, may be here is the problem..because I’d modified/edited/added it based on some results I found on net..:/ )

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /test/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /test/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Thanks again.

This is the first thing I would do before modifying the root .htaccess:
1) back it up
2) remove it temporarily
3) access your WP test instance and see if you can edit a page. Also see if you can access page/posts

If step #3 works, then you should try modifying your .htaccess. I think this will work (but not certain). Notice that I added one line:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

# this is path to your test site
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/.*$
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]

</IfModule>

Hi.

Please mark this as closed.
Before I could work out the above logic, client closed the project.
I don’t have/own any other place to check it out.

Was frustrated and sad. Did look into the forum after that.

Thank again for all the effort taken.

A BIG THANKS. Good Day.
