That did the trick. Now we’re off and running. Thanks for the help!

Hi Mika! I’m in process of moving the multisite installation to the root domain instead doing a subdomain install. I will report back tonight. TY!

I will definitely let you know what works. Thanks for your persistence! I appreciate having a second brain on it with me. ??

That step 4 in the second article might be the thing I need. I will let you know as soon as I get back to the desk in a while. Thanks, Mike!

Oh my goodness, no waste of my time! I appreciate the help. And I appreciate getting to learn from you where to look to check details.

Yes, maybe something with the plugin that I criss-crossed. I remember I couldn’t add the main site. Does that make sense? Only site_id 2-5 are listed. I have my server ip address in there and only permanent redirect checked. It would not keep the check I put in for remote login.

I’ll asked HostGator to check my wildcard subdomain setup again.

wp_options both are correct.

wp_site has only sparkspress.com, no http…should I change that?

The site_id are all listed as 1 in wp_blogs…the blog_id are sequential. Does that sound right?

The wp_#_options are all correct.

I can definitely contact HG support again…

I triple checked the htaccess and wp-config bits.

I’m pretty sure the bits in the “network setup” tab were copied and pasted fine for htaccess and wp-config. Seemed to make sense at the time anyway.

I don’t know how to check or what to look for about the database tables. Would you instruct me about that?

I’ve been on the line chatting a couple times with them tonight. I’ll try again with the details you’ve supplied. I appreciate the help. TY!

Hi Mike! Yes, all are giving the same 404 like this one: https://www.careertipsblog.com.

Any luck with this? It seemed like a complex problem and I wondered what the solution was.

Just trying to talk this through. So the main problems are:

“the main blog index the only thing displayed is the post content — no permalinks, titles, comment links or widgets”

and

the index page “only shows content from a single post.”

You are using Sandbox theme. What plugins?

What about setting up a page template for the custom static pages. See “Page Templates” at the link below.

Change the page.php back, then make the changes to the index.php file for how you want the blog page to look like the archive page?

Host company checked again and it is working now. Thanks!

Contacted my host company they enabled mod rewrite. Still not working. Other ideas? I just need to update my permalinks…I think. I am trying to get a static page to display. Thanks!

I have htaccess inside htdocs…is that the right place for it?
