Just remembered! Only search the tables for the site that needs fixing!

I think you need to do a search and replace in your posts and post meta for the root url. e.g. search for https://limetimehostels.com/rio/ and replace with https://limetimehostels.com/

Using the Permalink reset or changing the WordPress url does not change the link or image urls used in posts and needs to be done manually

These are instructions for multisite in your case, but it may not be worth it for 2 sites, but it’s up to you

Ok. You need to follow the instructions on the www.ads-software.com website for setting up multisite with the root blog.

Then you need to create a WordPress export file for each other website. You need to import these into the main blog. You may need to do a search and replace on the database as for some reason the issues regarding image importing still haven’t been fully fixed (they will import over, but will still link to the old address). Don’t give the new sites the same url as the old ones or you won’t be able to import images, as the WordPress Mod Rewrite will stop you accessing the actual folder on the server and will give you the WordPress virtual one.

If you need more help, just ask.

Please can you explain to me what you are meaning by “breaking point”?

I understand that www.ads-software.com is used in many countries, so I may know this under another term.

Are you referring to text wrapping? Also please can you provide a domain, so I can have a look.

If you are running WordFence or similar plugins, I’ve had issues where the site won’t load. I would recommend that you remove all security plugins and just run brute protect (I’ve even protected council websites using just this – and it has blocked 150 malicious attacks in the past month!)

I would also try a different theme as some themes in the function.php file have things that disable parts of the menus.

Also just to be clear, you are talking about the admin menu and not the front-end website menu aren’t you?

Here:

1. At blog site set Settings -> Permalinks -> Common Setting -> Default (Must select default only and don’t touch any thing, If you need to change category base, tag base set at Network Admin only)

2. At Network Admin -> Sites -> (root site) Permalink Sturcture -> /%category%/%post_id%

That it will remove /blog slug

Please search forums before starting a new thread please!

You only need the first line to make the admin SSL
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);
Are you using a domain mapping plugin? If so remove the remote login checkbox. (Has solved problem for me in the past)

Are any of your sub sites showing?

If not I’d check your wp-config.

This is an adaptation of mine: https://pastebin.com/FVP3Bs8u

Remember to read the added comments I’ve put in and to put your content where it needs to be.

Also I’ve checked your DNS records and these seem ok. ??

If you can provide a domain name I can investigate this further.

Your files seem to be correct, so it could be the WordPress files themselves. I’d recommend you take a look at this article and do a manual reinstall: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Updating_WordPress

Also can you list what plugins you are using?

If you would like me to take a look or this doesn’t work, please post a job on jobs.wordpress.net and Huddersfield Hosting Support will take a look for you.

Create a static page called “home” in wordpress and set it as the static home page.
Copy index.php in your theme and name it page-home.php (in the same folder).
Remove the function “the_content();” and put this code in it’s place:

<?php wp_login_form();
echo "<a href=\"<?php echo wp_lostpassword_url(); ?>\" title=\"Lost Password\">Lost Password?</a><br />";
echo "<a href=\"https://www.example.com/wp-signup.php\">Register</a><br />" ?>

This might not be fully what you want but it will be a lot easier!

Also I agree with Ipstenu about the domain mapping. You could also try this plugin https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/domain-mapping/ and integrate it with their ProSites plugin, so users can buy domains and the software sets everything up for you.

Make sure that the salt keys for both sites are the same:
https://api.www.ads-software.com/secret-key/1.1/salt/

This way, both sites should encode passwords the same way.

Here’s a sample wp-config from my installation.

Please note that this is for a subdirectory install.
https://pastebin.com/m4dqDGBC

You should be fine creating folders like that as long as they do not require they’re own .htaccess or .htpasswd as these will be ignored.

An alternative could be to have the folder structure as you wish, but point site2.example.com to that folder and have site2.example.com/something-outside-wp/ .

If you need any more help, just ask. ??

I’ve had a similar problem before. I found that plugins like WordFence conflict with multisite, but as you’ve said this has been checked.

I’d try checking the wp-config. Here is a link to a base copy of mine. Alter it to fit your needs and try that: https://pastebin.com/m4dqDGBC

If these don’t work, this may be a bit much for this forum, and may need someone to diagnose it by logging in. If you create a job on jobs.wordpress.net and reference Huddersfield Hosting in the title, I’ll fix for free, because I know how frustrating this is.

This is a bit vague. Have you checked that the quotes ‘ ‘ are straight and not the slanted ones that sometimes appear if you have copied the code from a word document or online.

I’ve adapted my wp-config to show you what your config should be like: https://pastebin.com/m4dqDGBC

This is my .htaccess file: https://pastebin.com/KNwsTEGE

Remember this is for a directory install and sub domains are a bit different. Change the details as needed in the wp-config.php. I’ve made new salt keys, so you are fine to use these.

Please provide an URL if you can and a multisite type and I’ll try my best to help you.

Hi Pradip.

This seems like it could be a few things:

– Are they both on the same hosting account? (Or same server if set up on a local computer) – This could be that the second site isn’t set up to work properly in the subdirectory

– Have you just cloned installation 1? If so the domain won’t have changed, neither will the database, so you will be always using installation 1, just with a different domain.

– Have you changed the keys for the salts and cookies in the wp-config from the default or made sure they are all different. If not this could be that the cookies are interfering with each other.

If these don’t work, post back and I’ll post some more possible solutions.

If you can post your domains and I’ll check them for you.
