'siteurl' on site edit page gets re-written upon logout/login

    I can’t easily post to my sites, and, when students post comments to some post I’ve made, they often get taken to a blank screen (using firefox).

    I’ve done the basic troubleshooting that I’ve found on the web (eg clear cache/cookies, disable all plugins) to no avail.

    The following steps illustrates what I do and the problem:
    –In superadmin box in the dashboard I click on ‘sites’.
    –I click on ‘edit’ for one of my sites such as the groosp1 site. I have these settings shown:
    —-Domain https:// is: fle.mpls.k12.mn.us
    —-path is: /wpblogs/groosp1/
    —-I’ve got checked: Update siteurl and home as well.
    —-It has the incorrect siteurl: https://fle.mpls.k12.mn.us/wpblogs
    —-I scroll a ways down to the ‘home’ setting and it has the correct address: https://fle.mpls.k12.mn.us/wpblogs/groosp1/
    –I update the siteurl to: https://fle.mpls.k12.mn.us/wpblogs/groosp1
    –I scroll to the bottom and click ‘update options’.
    –Next, if I click on ‘add post’ at the top of this screen it will go to a post creation page BUT not for the correct site but instead has this address: https://fle.mpls.k12.mn.us/wpblogs/wp-admin/post-new.php (note the missing /groosp1 in the address). If I publish this post and view it I find it at the root blog page… https://fle.mpls.k12.mn.us/wpblogs/blog/2010/11/16/test5-post/. However,
    –If I click on a link to the /groosp1 site, then click on ‘site-admin’, then click ‘add post’, create a post and post and view it, It works just find, creating a post on the groosp1 site.
    –next I log out
    –log back in
    –go to superadmin box, again to to ‘sites’, click on ‘edit’ for the groosp1 site.
    –and it has re-written the siteurl again back to the root site: https://fle.mpls.k12.mn.us/wpblogs
    –and if I try to post a blog it will go to the site root, not the groosp1 site I was at.

    I’ve worked many hours on getting a handle on problem, I’d appreciate any links or ideas to check!

    As described on: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/upon-enabling-multisite-and-re-logging-in-get-500-internal-server-error?replies=9 I created a new wp 3.0.1 install with a new database and multisites enabled.

    Since there is some unknown issue with the wp install and/or database as described in the posts above on this current page, I’m not sure exactly how I want to do the import of the old database into the new site. Both this old database from the above, mis-functioning site and the database from the new wp 3.0.1 install are managed via phpmyadmin on the same server.

    So, my question is, which instructions on this page: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress related to what I want to do?

    THANKS!

    Not much of them. ??

    If it were me, I would make some new test sites in the new install, and try to recreate the issues. use the same themes & plugins, which means just copying over the wp-content folder.

    I’d hoped there was a way to just import it.
    Will give this a try.
    Again, thanks.

    You could use the backend export – import, which will get just your content, so if there’s anything else mucked up in the db, it shouldn’t snag it.

    Hi Andrea_r

    This last tip is a good one to know.

    I’ve worked so many hours on problem solving I just wanted to get my site up and running. Since I have a new site and new database and they are WORKING I decided to bite the bullet and just reset the whole multi-site thing up and leave the above messed up site to the side.

    My new sites work beautifully, I’ve got 140 student users added and divided up between 5 sub-sites, I’ve got the incredible ‘knowledge building’ plugin installed and working, I can’t wait to let my students on this setup. Again, thanks for your help and I hope I won’t need it again for months! Good luck in your efforts!
