 * Hey guys, i just installed the wordpress multisite mod from this link:
 * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network](https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network)
 * I followed the installion and chose domain.com/site/ as the new link.
 * Everything seems to be working fine but the new site that I add has no theme 
   and I can’t access the dashboard? When i try to access the dashboard of the add
   on site it goes to the url domain.com/site/wp-admin but nothing loads, its a 
   dead link with nothing.
 * Please help, thanks.

 * 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.
