Title: Multisite with subfolder in folder Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Multisite with subfolder in folder * [designr86](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designr86/) * (@designr86) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-with-subfolder-in-folder/) * Hi, * I’m having trouble with the this: I’ve installed wp in the next map on this domain => [http://www.chabelle.be/WP/](http://www.chabelle.be/WP/) Everything running smooth. Now i want to create some subsites with multi site. I managed to add those sites in the networkpanel. But when I want to visit or access the admin page of them, I get an 404 error… * Subfolders would be : [http://www.chabelle.be/WP/cbs/](http://www.chabelle.be/WP/cbs/) [http://www.chabelle.be/WP/b2b/](http://www.chabelle.be/WP/b2b/) * Can someone help me with this?

So I’m nit-picking since I want to be sure I get what you’re saying. * Thread Starter [designr86](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designr86/) * (@designr86) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-with-subfolder-in-folder/#post-2454330) * Exactly I mean **folder**. Sorry for this confusion! * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-with-subfolder-in-folder/#post-2454401) * Okay, in the folder WP, what’s in your .htaccess file? * Thread Starter [designr86](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designr86/) * (@designr86) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-with-subfolder-in-folder/#post-2454424) * Hi Ipstenu. * I’ve done some changes yesterday. I’ve installed WP in the rooth folder. And I want to create 2 ‘sub-sites’ in the network. And I want to use the sub-directory option to do this. * so WP install => [http://www.chabelle.be](http://www.chabelle.be) 2nd site = > [http://www.chabelle.be/cbs](http://www.chabelle.be/cbs) 3th site => [http://www.chabelle.be/b2b](http://www.chabelle.be/b2b) * Still the same problem when I want to access the other 2 sites: /—message—/ “ Not Found The requested URL /cbs was not found on this server.” /—message—/ * ! Attention: if you visit chabelle.be for the moment, it redirects to chabelle. be/chabelle for the visitors, so they can still access the ‘old’ website. (done this with redirection plugin). * Data from .htaccess file: * ``` RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] # uploaded files RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L] # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $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).*) $1 [L] RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] ``` * Thanks already for helping me!

I’ve noticed that the clean permalinks also don’t work… When I turn of the redirect, it’s just the same. * Although thanks for searching! * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-with-subfolder-in-folder/#post-2454439) * Yeah, it’s not going to, since WP is there but something ELSE is redirecting it to another folder. It’s overriding WordPress.
