 * Hi here =)
    Before I begin, I want to tell you that I’m French with my rotten
   English. But also that I’m on these different problems for more than a week. 
   I posted my problems in different french support but I have no response… So apologize
   me if I look completely desperate.
 * To begin, I share with you the end part of my wp-config.php for multisite and
   my .htaccess, maybe that could help.
 * **wp-config.php**
 *     ```
       /**
       MULTISITE*/
       define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
   
       define('MULTISITE', true);
       define('SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false);
       define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.thegreatpearler.com');
       define('PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/');
       define('SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
       define('BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1);
   
       /* C’est tout, ne touchez pas à ce qui suit ! */
       ```
   
 * **.htaccess**
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
   
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       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]
   
       </IfModule>
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * I will try to describe my problems as simply as possible.
 * I recently installed a new website, multisite, subfolder, to create a completely
   dedicated shop: the URL is: _[ redundant link removed ]_. This is the first time
   I install a website and I configure a multisite at the same time.
 * 1) Problem with plugin activation
 * To begin, my first problem is that I can not activate a specific plugin on one
   or the other website. I am obliged to activate my plugins on the whole network
   whereas I am supposed to be able to activate plugins separately on one or the
   other website. I do not understand why. I do not have the option to activate 
   a plugin, either on my main website or with my secondary website. I think it’s
   not normal …
 * I share this error here because maybe the next error is related to the first 
   one.
 * 2) HTTP error when uploading media or images
 * The other big problem is that I can not upload media to my secondary website (
   but it works fine on my main website). I have a red box that appears with the
   code “HTTP error”. To solve this problem, I had to try a dozen different solutions:
   
   => Reduce or resize the file => Rename the image file => Temporarily disable 
   plugins and theme => Increase the PHP memory limit => Check the permissions of
   the downloads folder => Switch to the latest version of PHP => Remove the custom
   path from the media library
 * Nothing worked.
 * I have explored the problem a little bit and tried things that I will try to 
   explain. For starters, as I said, when I upload an image for example, I have 
   an error “HTTP error” and the thumbnail of my image does not appear in the media
   library. But his name is clearly visible.
 * But the file is well upload on the server … And accessible when following the
   path.
 * This path is: www> wp-content> upload> sites> 4> 2019> 4. The access rights of
   the files are in 755 and the files are in 644, which seems correct.
 * On the wordpress admin, I can “regenerate thumbnails” for all my “ghost” files,
   those whose name appears on my server and in the media library but whose thumbnail
   is invisible. And when I do that, oh miracle, the thumbnails of my images finally
   appear and I can finally use them in my different posts ….
 * Completely strange and not at all practical, you will agree …
 * I do not know at all which way to attack the problem and I leave it to you to
   help me to find a solution … It would be so great: D
 * In the meantime, thank you for the time you will take to read me …
 * Best regards (and especially if I can bring any additional information, tell 
   me).
