 * I’ve installed multisite and everything seems to be working fine, I just have
   a few questions however and wondered if anyone would be able to answer them for
   me. I’ve created another site as a subdomain and is working fine and I can edit
   it etc. what i’m wondering is if you can actually log in to the wp-admin of that
   site or it can only be controlled from the network admin screen?
 * The reason I ask is because the sites I am making are a replica of the existing
   one but only a small amount of information will change on each one (e.g price
   in US$ instead of GBP), i’ve exported the old site as an XML file but when I 
   try to log in to the new site to get to the dashboard it won’t let me log in 
   with the credentials I have set.
 * I’m going to [http://www.newsite.com/wp-admin](http://www.newsite.com/wp-admin)
   and the admin screen comes up but just doesn’t let me sign in. If anyone has 
   any idea on why this is happening and could get back to me it would be greatly
   appreciated.

 * You can log in to the new site via wp-admin
 * You said it’s a subdomain, though, and then the example URL you have was newsite.
   com…. You ARE going to newsite.example.com/wp-admin, right?

 * Yeah I’ve used a subdomain install, but I’ve changed the link to a .co.uk so 
   it’s [http://www.newsite.co.uk](http://www.newsite.co.uk). I have installed the
   relevant domain mapping plugin and everything seemed to be working fine and I
   could sign in. However, as I came to sign in again this morning it won’t let 
   me resign in.
 * Hmm, I’ll see if I can figure out what the issue is, in the mean time if anyone
   knows of anything could you let me know.
 * Cheers

 * Well that’s your problem. Generally speaking, the SECOND you say “I did that 
   BUT…” that’s when you messed up 🙂
 * The issue is you changed the site’s name the wrong way. You need to revert that
   to newsite.example.com and DO NOT change it.
 * Then you use [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/)
   to map newsite.co.uk to newsite.example.com
