Super admin not showing

  • I’m doing a trial run of multisite on a HostGator account before setting up a new installation for a school. The school site is already using a subdomain, so I want the teachers’ individual sites to be in subdirectories. I didn’t see this option but achieved it in the config by setting subdomain_install to false. This is my second try; the first time I got the Super Admin option, but adding a site created a subdirectory, which surprised me as WordPress has been sitting on the domain for a year or so. So I started over, after deleting the extra tables in phpAdmin so that the installation wasn’t telling me that it was already set up for a network.

    The problem may be in the username. From another topic here, I saw you ask if there were capital letters in the username. Somewhere along the way I changed “admin” to “Heather”, and now there is no “admin”.

    Can I add a super admin directly to the database? Or should I start over yet again?

    The site is at https://www.com-info.ca. I’m running it in French, but hopefully you can find your way around.

    Nulion, if you wiped everything, you should wipe the database too to start totally from scratch.

    i had the same issue
    it is nothing to do with the user name
    i have mine set to other thing than “admin”
    ..here is what i did & now i’m the Super Admin ^^
    Just swap the multisite lines in the wp-config.php
    to be in that order
    define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
    define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
    Hope it works with you too ??
