Title: Can't fix WordPress Multisite missing stylesheet/wp-admin issue Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Can't fix WordPress Multisite missing stylesheet/wp-admin issue * Resolved [SwiffEpics](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swiffepics/) * (@swiffepics) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-fix-wordpress-multisite-missing-stylesheetwp-admin-issue/) * Hello, I have been searching google like crazy and have of course read many help topics on this forum. However no matter what I try I cannot seem to fix this issue. * So basically I have installed WordPress multisite on our GoDaddy server. Initially I didn’t get the option to chose between sub-domains or sub-directories, so after installation I had to go into WP-Config and set the subdomain_install to false… like so: * `define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);` * After doing this my default wordpress site was working, along with a second site I set up under the directory /de/ * Now when I come to make a third site under the direcotry /fr/ for some reason it will not work. Which is very strange considering the /de/ site works fine. * When I access the /fr/ site the stylesheet is blank, although the logo and twitter icons manage to show up. Not only that but I am unable to access the WP-ADMIN. I get the error “The page isn’t redirecting properly” * I have tried multiple fixes that I have read, such as editing my .htaccess and wp-config. I even tried to edit the mod_rewrite/vhost configuration but I am unsure of how to do this on GoDaddy. I called them but they had no idea what I meant. * If anybody can help I would be most grateful.

You replaced the WP section and didn’t just add on to it right? * Did you delete the TwentyEleven theme? * Thread Starter [SwiffEpics](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swiffepics/) * (@swiffepics) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-fix-wordpress-multisite-missing-stylesheetwp-admin-issue/#post-2883759) * Here is my .htaccess at the moment * I have tried multiple adjustments based on things I have read here. * > # BEGIN WordPress > RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / > RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] > # uploaded files > RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [ > L] > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d > RewriteRule ^ – [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] > > # END WordPress * I also figured something out about our server. Before I tried install multisite we already had the /de directory set up on the server, with it’s own installation. So now that I have set up the /de directory with our multisite I believe it’s not actually operating fully under multisite. Which means we have confused ourself lol. * Even with this confusion Multisite is still not working because I still cannot get the /fr multisite to work. * Thread Starter [SwiffEpics](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swiffepics/) * (@swiffepics) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-fix-wordpress-multisite-missing-stylesheetwp-admin-issue/#post-2883769) * Ok I have managed to get into the WP-ADMIN after making some alterations to my. htaccess * but now I still cannot get the theme to work on the new /fr site. bare in mind that I am using the Constellation blank theme which I have edited to our tastes. * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-fix-wordpress-multisite-missing-stylesheetwp-admin-issue/#post-2883790) * Your .htaccess is the one for subdomains. * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite](http://codex.wordpress.org/Multisite_Network_Administration#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite) * Grab the subfolder one. * And again: Did you delete the TwentyEleven theme?

When it’s not, WP does funny things unless you change the default new theme. * Do fix the .htaccess 🙂 * Thread Starter [SwiffEpics](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swiffepics/) * (@swiffepics) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-fix-wordpress-multisite-missing-stylesheetwp-admin-issue/#post-2883844) * Hi * I have edited my .htaccess but now I get the following error on the browser when I try to go to [http://www.mysite.com/fr/wp-admin](http://www.mysite.com/fr/wp-admin) * > The page isn’t redirecting properly * The twenty eleven theme is definitely in the themes folder, on the root site. * Thread Starter [SwiffEpics](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swiffepics/) * (@swiffepics) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-fix-wordpress-multisite-missing-stylesheetwp-admin-issue/#post-2883845) * Nevermind I can get into the wp-admin now * now the only problem is the stylesheet.

It’s a server thing. * Are you sure you set up the .htaccess correctly? Named it right and so on?

If the images in posts are working, the. htaccess is most likely working. Is that the _entire_ .htaccess? Nothing extra you’re not showing us?
