Apparently no such plugins exist, I went looking and there are plenty to export to .xls, absolutely none that just display Excel spreadsheets formatted.

So again I ask, what went wrong with 4.4.1?

Alright, terminology aside, it worked perfectly until the recent update. It worked well at least through 4.3, maybe 4.4, I know that the second 4.4.1 installed, it stopped working.

I’m sure there’s a way. Maybe it’s time to go to another service since ID doesn’t seem to be working that well these days. Thanks everyone for all your help!

Actually, it turned out to be IntenseDebate, I’ve tried re-installing it, re-importing comments, it just doesn’t work with a multi-site install, no matter how much they tell me it does. My next step is going to be throwing away years worth of comments and starting an entirely new account. Joy!

No, it’s not the theme, I changed themes, same problem. However, once I renamed the plugin directory, suddenly I could access the comments so I guess one of the plugins, even after deactivating them, was causing the issue. Now I just have to go through and test each plugin to find out what was causing the problem. I’ll start off with the list that Adrea gave first but since I’m not using that many plugins to begin with, hopefully it won’t be too hard to track down. Keeping my fingers crossed that it’s not a plugin I absolutely have to have…

As I said, I’ve disabled all plugins and the problem persisted, I could try deleting them and see if that helped, I suppose…

As far as plugins are concerned, I don’t have that many and I can’t imagine any of them would be causing problems as I’ve used almost all of them for years.

Anything on that list typically cause problems?

Yes, it shows everything properly, so far as I can tell, the comments problem is the only thing that doesn’t work, but for both of my sub-sites, clicking on, or directly referencing the comments takes you back to the main site dashboard. I can post just fine to both sub-sites, everything works the way it’s supposed to.

Just in case, I just loaded up another browser and tried it, just in case it was something in the cache that was causing a problem and had the same issue.

I just uploaded the new .htaccess, didn’t fix the problem. Then I deactivated all of my plugins. Still didn’t fix the problem. Any other ideas?

It takes me to the dashboard, which I can access just fine, but on the left in the clickable list, if I click on “Comments”, instead of taking me to the comments page for that sub-site, it takes me back to the comments page for my main blog. Using the direct URL takes me back to the main blog, so it must be something wrong with the comments page itself. Checking my other sub-blogs, it looks like all of them have the same problem.

.htaccess is:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>

It’s a subdirectory, I’m clicking on the comments link from within the sub site dashboard, it’s just taking me elsewhere.

After explaining things to them several times, they did something that fixed the problem, not quite sure what, but it works. Thanks for your help.

It’s running in a second subdirectory on the same account so I would assume that it’s all running under the same rules. However, I will put in an IT request and see what they say.

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, we don’t have access to those files. However, as I said, there’s already a multisite WP install running on the site, therefore I know it works, I just can’t get this install to operate properly.

I didn’t see any threads about it in the first couple of pages I looked at, sorry.

I was looking at both my .htaccess and one that I know works, plus comparing it to some that have been posted here and I’m not seeing any commonality between any of them. Since I know that my server’s mod_rewrite does support multisite, maybe there’s something wrong with the .htaccess itself. Here’s what mine says:

#Made Multi-Site with Multi-Site Enabler 1.4#

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]

# uploaded files

RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^ – [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Is there something I need to fix?
