I just tried again and this is the message that my browser is giving me:
The page isn’t redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
Are you trying to map a domain to a subsite in multisite? If so, you’ll need to download and install the domain mapping plugin, in order to map domain names to each new instance you create.
Also, check in your network admin panel under Sites, then check each site to ensure that the user you’re logged in as has rights to access the subsite that was set up under the primary.
No i didn’t even try that yet… All I did was install multisite, then i created a new site so the domain ended up being name.com/site/. The normal wp-admin is under name.com/wp-admin but when i try to access the dashboard of the new addon site the link goes to name.com/site/wp-admin
So i have disbabled all WP plugins including WP multi Network. I went over the tutorial from WP to enable the multisite network. When I click the view the add-on site i goto the folder and i see the site/theme. When i click to view the dashboard it brings me to a page, name.com/site/wp-admin but its the /site/ folder with no theme?
I’m trying to get the gist of your message and it’s a bit difficult to understand, because I know you’re new to this.
Let’s put it this way. When you use WordPress multisite, you can set it to either use subdomains or subdirectories. It seems that you’ve set it to use subdirectories, which results in /site being added when you create a new site instance.
So, yes, if you have a multisite and you register new sites, your network admin should be at:
site.com/wp-admin
And your new site should be at:
site.com/site/wp-admin
It’s because you’ve set it up as subdirectory, that your admin panel moves one level over for that site.
Remember, when you change over to WordPress multisite, you should see in your Network Admin a drop down with the list of sites you’ve added. But under the Network Admin area, you should be able to view Sites, then Edit a site and check your settings there. Usually, you have to network activate your themes to make them available to all sites in the network.
