Wrong network admin URL when upgraded to 3.1 from 3.0.4

  • Hi – In my (subdirectory) multi-site installation, I upgraded to 3.1 and ever since, can’t access my network admin URLs. It worked fine in 3.0.4. When I do
    <?php echo network_admin_url(); ?>
    The output does not include the subdirectory, ie —
    https://blogs.mydomain.org/wp-admin/network/
    instead of the correct URL, as in:
    https://blogs.mydomain.org/quest/wp-admin/network/

    I changed my .htaccess file, per another thread, to:

    AddHandler php5-script .php

# BEGIN WordPress
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).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# END WordPress

    Any other ideas? I might have to revert to 3.0.4!

    Why not?
    Again, it all worked in 3.0.4.
    We didn’t do a convoluted rewrite at all — had nothing to do with .htaccess in fact. User were redirected with a client-pull .HTML file.

    Yes, I know I can do the ‘allow from my IPs’ thing, but I liked having it accessible from a not-linked-to URL. It wasn’t a state secret or anything, but users going there would see test stuff..

    It’s gone because it was never supposed to be there in the first place. It’s probably not coming back.

    And … You get how having ‘Only allow from IPs’ is still accessible from a non-linked-to URL?

    User were redirected with a client-pull .HTML file.

    A what now?

    Client pull == meta refresh.

    In any case, I guess I’ll have to live with whatever the change was..

    Ah. FWIW, .htaccess is less process intensive than a meta-refresh (and more google Friendly).
