# Error in Network Admin URL

 * I recently set up a development wordpress installation with multisite and then
   moved everything to a production server. I have everything running fine on the
   new server using the IP address, but now I want to use my domain name as the 
   main site (domain.org). So, I went through the wp-config and all of the database
   to change the IP to the new domain name. All sites are working fine, the admin
   dashboard of each site works fine; however, the network admin dashboard does 
   not work. I don’t see any broken links or this issue anywhere else – except for
   the network admin dashboard.
 * When you are logged in to the admin dashboard of any of the sites and hover over
   the Network Admin panel it shows something like this: [http://‘domainorg’/wp-admin/network/](http://‘domainorg’/wp-admin/network/)
 * Obviously, I need to get rid of the quotes and add the period in; however, no
   matter where I look I cannot seem to figure out what is going on. I have looked
   through the forums, but didn’t see anything that seemed to help or was similar
   to this issue.
 * Any ideas?

 * By the way – forgot to mention – network admin dashboard works fine when you 
   switch everything back to IP address. However, it puts the quotes in when you
   change to the domain name.

 * If this also helps below is what is in the .htaccess file:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   
       # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
   
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
       RewriteRule ^ - [L]
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
       RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
       RewriteRule . index.php [L]
       ```
   
 * # END WordPress
 * And below is the multisite lines in the wp-config file:
 *     ```
       /* Multisite */
       define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
   
       define('MULTISITE', true);
       define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
       define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', ‘domain.org’ );
       define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
       define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       ```
   
 * Absolutely everything seems to be working flawlessly now except for the network
   dashboard, but I can’t understand why it is not working. Any help is appreciated.

 * Okay I have dug a bit deeper into this, but still haven’t resolved it. If I switch
   everything back to the original IP address network dashboard works just fine.
   However, when I switch back to the domain everything works fine – all admin sites,
   all sites, except for the network dashboard. Just as before the network dashboard
   tries to load a page that looks like the following url: [http://’domainorg’/wp-admin/network](http://’domainorg’/wp-admin/network).
 * I have searched through the forums, but couldn’t find anything quite like this,
   although, I have tried editing my htaccess and wp-config based on some other 
   forum posts, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

 * How? 🙂
 * Please read [https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Multisite](https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Multisite)
   and note how we suggest you use a special tool to edit the DB. If you did that
   wrong, it’ll make things all weird.
