# Cannot access multisite admin

 * Hello,
 * I’ve been using this plugin to prevent global attacks on my site (and it’s working
   great!). I just recently realized though that I am unable to login to my multisite
   subsite /wp-admin/ dashboard after having logged into the main site. When I log
   into the main site, I can get to the /wp-admin/ dashboard just fine. When I go
   to a subsite’s /wp-admin/ dashboard, I get redirected to my profile page in the
   subsite (and still logged in). Only if I logout of the main site and go directly
   to the subsite’s /wp-admin/ dashboard, am I able to re-login and acceses the 
   subsite /wp-admin/ dashboard.
 * I am running the latest version of WordPress (4.9.4) using subdirectory network
   multisite. I’m also using the latest version of this plugin (3.0.8). I’ve tried
   network enabling the plugin as well as enabling it separately from each multisite
   and I experience the same issue. I’m not sure if it’s a setting I’ve overlooked,
   but I’ve been through them extensively and cannot get this to work. Once I completely
   disable this plugin, my multisite network admin from the main site and subsites
   works just fine as they always used to.
 * Any help or guidance is appreciated!

 * Hi [@bdotmall](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bdotmall/),
 * Sorry for your issue, but I could not reproduce it on my local server for both
   sub-directory and sub-domain type of multisite.

 * So would you once logout and [clear cookies and cache in your browser](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-you-were-blocked-after-upgrading-to-3-0-7/#post-9939053)?
 * Thanks your cooperation.

 * Thank you for the quick reply; my apologies for not responding sooner.
 * When I first enabled the plugin (using Network Activate), I was able to access
   my subsite /wp-admin/, but after I logged out and cleared my cookies and cache,
   the problem came back.
 * I am able to login to the main site’s /wp-admin/ Dashboard, but I get redirected
   to my profile page (still logged in) when I try to then access the subsite’s /
   wp-admin/ Dashboard.
 * If I then completely logout and then log back into the subsite’s /wp-admin/ Dashboard
   directly and then try to switch over to the main site’s /wp-admin/ Dashboard,
   I get redirected to the main site’s login page and it says that I am currently
   not logged in at all.
 * Do you have the plugin “network activated”, or set to active in each of the subsites?
 * Are there any special settings in the plugin settings that I could be overlooking?
 * Thank you

 * It’s very strange for me because IPGB have nothing to do with profile page, e.
   g. `/wp-admin/profile.php` or `/wp-admin/network/profile.php`. I think it would
   never redirect unless `profile.php` was specified.
 * > Do you have the plugin “network activated”, or set to active in each of the

 * Both case works fine on my environment.
 * I think something may be incompatible with IPGB. Could you deactivate all plugins
   and activate again one by one? If you can’t do that, I’d appreciate to let me
   know about the plugins you are using. Please use “**Show information**” button
   at “**Debug information**” in “**Plugin settings**” section.
 * You can send it to me by email to tokkonopapa at yahoo dot com.
 * Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
