Yes to fix it, I ended up putting the video the page with Elementor. But I ahve also changed the theme now ??

Exactly the same issue here: https://suttonscouts.org.uk/district-events/district-calendar/

Also updated to 2.5.3 and having same problem with Google calendar import.
Checked all time zones and settings. My locale is London

OK, I opened up a support ticket and they have checked my shared hosting config and said it is all OK. They did suggest adding the line define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true); which has removed the error from one of my CRON monitoring plugins.
I also renamed all my plugins and MU_plugins to disable them, but I still receive the same error?

Also, I note the error is: couldn’t connect to host not “host unknown”

Yes I am hosted. Is it a case of asking 127.0.0.1 to be added?

I fixed it!!!

I created a new site at a free hosting site to practice backup and restore, only to find that I had the same multisite issue.

I was following the Mulrisite instructions here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Create_A_Network

In stage 2, it says: “Open up wp-config.php and add this line above where it says /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */. If it doesn’t say that anywhere, then add the line somewhere above the first line that begins with require or include:”

As I had the line /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ I placed the multisite commands above it. HOWEVER, I then tried placing above the first require and everything worked!!!! (On both test and live site).

Thanks for your help. We have just published the site, so I won’t attempt a rebuild for the moment. And perhaps will practice first!!!

Thanks for your continued support.
I CAN add plugins and themes, however interestingly enough the database tables have been created eg wp_site wp_sitemeta have been created ( I did delete these when starting with new multisite install) and I have the “tools/network setup” option. So it appears to have half worked.

I did find that this parameter was wrong in wp-config:
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/WP’);

So I have corrected to:
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);

I reverted back to single site and followed multi-site install again, but still no luck.
Is there anywhere else I should be looking for remnants of my sub-directory install?

Is there a way to check that multi-site has been activated, without access to the Network menu?

I have checked that and my entries look correct? I should be a superadmin!

Thank you for your suggestions.

It was a while ago that I converted to multi-site, so I took the site back to single site by effectively reversing the steps in the codex.

One I was happy that the single site install was working correctly, I followed the codex steps to create a multi-site again.
However this time I notices a warning that I could not create a sub-domain site, as my install was in a directory.
So because of this warning, I moved the site to root (and did a search and replace for URLs in the database)
This time when I enabled multisite, it said I could only choose sub-domain, as the site already existed.
So I have created a multisite install using sub-domain, however I do not see the network menu. I have seen a couple of posts re checking my permissions in the database under sitemeta but this looks correct.
Any pointers as to where to go from here please?

I am trying to go from subdirectory to subdomain, any help you can give will be most appreciated.

Thank you, didn’t appear to work.
I added rotatingtweets.css containing the code to wp-content/uploads/

Thank you, it says hourly at the next page refresh, which I assume is correct?
