I figured it out. We at one point had the premium, so I uninstalled that and reinstalled the basic version and now it works.

The version is 2.16.26.24. It offers to update to 2.23.7.0, but this fails for no given reason.

Ironically, I have this plugin, but never used it until today. It turns out I did have malware installed. Thank you for your help.

That site finds nothing, but I’m not sure it truly supports a multisite installation or that it can dig into all the plugins.

I manually reinstalled WP 6.2 with no change. I also notice this in site health

REST API Response: (http_request_failed) cURL error 7

As there is no documentation, i discovered accidently, there is a shortcode, [ajax_load_more]. This, however, totally messes up the page, causing blog posts to randomly display and then to keep displaying the post I put the shortcode in. It also blows up the formatting for these randomly displayed posts. It may be incompatible with the Post Type Order plugin, which I use to order the posts.

It turns out there are a whopping 1590 incorrect links in the domain I referenced above (neuronair.einsteinmedneuroscience.org as opposed to neuronair.org), not 50, but I’m not seeing anywhere where this is having a detrimental effect. The site is working, so it’s not clear what these links are there to do (and this is a very tiny site).

I think my post was confusing because I was describing a similar situation originating from two independent imports.

neuronair.org was a lone site imported to multisite with subdomain named neuronair.einsteinmedneuroscience.org. The importer correctly changed its name to neuronair.einsteinmedneuroscience.org. Now in WP, I changed the URL back to neuronair.org and the site seems functional. However, the database still has 50 references to neuronair.einsteinmedneuroscience.org and that seems odd even if the site appears working. It would seem there is a bug in WP for it to leave behind all these references and not update them.

The other site was a little more complicated because it started out as an IP address and many references to the IP address did not get updated to the incoming subdomain name and this I think was due to a bug in the importer because it wasn’t programmed to deal with sites utilizing an IP address.

The cause is that my user (as super admin) wasn’t formally added to the site. Once I added it, it now appears in the list.

What’s going on is that when I create or import a site for some reason, at least some of the time, the site is saved with the URL beginning with http and not https. When creating a new page, WordPress references it using http and the browser blocks mixed content causing the update to fail with the message that the site may be offline.

This appears to be a bug, but it’s not clear why others haven’t reported it. Reported as

File not found appears to be coming from php-fpm. By adding “ProxyErrorOverride On” to the FilesMatch section like so

<FilesMatch \.php$>
        SetHandler "proxy:fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000"
        ProxyErrorOverride On
</FilesMatch>

I am able to get the 404 document.

Those are from Apache itself… If you had a 404 error page available for the server then you probably would have seen the 404 page…

I tried this and that’s not what happens. https://wordpress-site.com/dummy.php still returns “File not found” and not the 404 page. That would suggest it’s not coming from apache, no?

The two many redirects are basically Apache trying to recursively look in a NON-EXISTENT directory then giving up and not finding the 404 page either.

Adding the 404 page made no difference here either. It’s still not clear to me how RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L] differs from RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ – [L], which does show the 404 page.

The cause of the first problem was that I had the wrong IP assigned to the computer in /etc/hosts.

I figured it out. This is a multi-site installation. The individual sites can’t add plugins or themes. Only the “Network Admin” site can do this. Switch to this site and then all the buttons are back.
