Title: Network Admin links point incorrectly Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Network Admin links point incorrectly * [owpllc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/owpllc/) * (@owpllc) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-links-point-incorrectly/) * Hello, I reviewed other topics that are similar but I still cannot resolve the issue. I have a fresh install of WP 3.5 on localhost in its own directory. Before adding multisite, I ensured that I can browse the blog and use the admin. Using TwentyTwelve theme and the plugins are already deactivated. No problems. Then I enabled multisite and set up the network, created the blogs.dir, updated the wp-config and .htaccess files with the content displayed in the process. Everything continues to work except the Network Admin links have the wrong path. Not sure how to fix this. * URL for blog: localhost/dev/owp WP admin: localhost/dev/owp/wordpress/wp-admin Network Admin links start with: localhost/dev/owp/wp-admin * my .htaccess file… * ``` # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /dev/owp/ 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).*) C:\xampp\htdocs\dev\owp\wordpress/$2 [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ C:\xampp\htdocs\dev\owp\wordpress/$2 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] # END WordPress ``` * I also tried setting ReWriteBase to / * network_admin_url() resolves to: [http://localhost/dev/owp/wp-admin/network/](http://localhost/dev/owp/wp-admin/network/) get_admin_url() resolves to: [http://localhost/dev/owp/wordpress/wp-admin/](http://localhost/dev/owp/wordpress/wp-admin/) * What could I be overlooking?

Maybe. it may just need to be /wordpress/ * Thread Starter [owpllc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/owpllc/) * (@owpllc) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-links-point-incorrectly/#post-3302466) * No, unfortunately. Neither /dev/owp/wordpress/ nor /wordpress/ worked. (cleared cache and restarted too). * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-links-point-incorrectly/#post-3302505) * Are you trying to run WP out of [http://localhost/dev/owp/wordpress/](http://localhost/dev/owp/wordpress/) or [http://localhost/dev/owp/](http://localhost/dev/owp/) * Thread Starter [owpllc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/owpllc/) * (@owpllc) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-links-point-incorrectly/#post-3302512) * The current site runs at [http://localhost/dev/owp](http://localhost/dev/owp)— I see the blog and can click around. When using the admin, I go to [http://localhost/dev/owp/wordpress/wp-admin](http://localhost/dev/owp/wordpress/wp-admin). The admin area, apart from Network Admin, works fine. * Does that answer your question? * Thread Starter [owpllc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/owpllc/) * (@owpllc) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-links-point-incorrectly/#post-3302513) * Somehow this thread got marked Resolved, but the issue remains. How can that flag be removed? Thank you. * [ahoms](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ahoms/) * (@ahoms) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-links-point-incorrectly/#post-3302588) * Same issue here. Can access the subsite dashboard when typing the URL but the link to the subsite dashboard (either in the network-admin sites page or the user bar) points to the network-admin dashboard * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-admin-links-point-incorrectly/#post-3302589) * **[@ahoms](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ahoms/)**: As per the [Forum Welcome](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post), please [post your own topic](http://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite#postform).

If you’ve installed in C:\xampp\ htdocs\dev\owp\ and you’re running out of [http://localhost/dev/owp/](http://localhost/dev/owp/) then it shouldn’t exist.
