Title: Problem with SubFolder install Last modified: January 15, 2024 --- # Problem with SubFolder install * Resolved [Gerald](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gerital/) * (@gerital) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-subfolder-install/) * I have your plugin working correctly on a SubFolder network with the main site accessible at [http://127.0.0.1](http://127.0.0.1) and the translation at [http://127.0.0.1/es](http://127.0.0.1/es) * Now I need to move it into a folder with the main site at [http://127.0.0.1/mysite](http://127.0.0.1/mysite) and the translation at [http://127.0.0.1/mysite/es](http://127.0.0.1/mysite/es). Should that be possible? * Translations are linked correctly, but the main site [http://127.0.0.1/mysite/es](http://127.0.0.1/mysite/es) and all subpages do load with a lot of 404 as referenced files (like [http://127.0.0.1/mysite/es/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.4.1](http://127.0.0.1/mysite/es/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.4.1)) can’t be found). * Here are the files and database tables I changed (in bold) in order to get it working, but without the described problems: * wp-config.php: * ```wp-block-code /* Multisite */ define( 'MULTISITE', true ); define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false ); define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', '127.0.0.1' ); define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/mysite/' ); define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 ); define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 ); ``` * .htaccess: * ```wp-block-code RewriteEngine On RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}] RewriteBase / 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).*) $2 [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] ``` * wp_site: * ```wp-block-code domain path http://127.0.0.1 /mysite/ ``` * wp_sitemeta: * ```wp-block-code site_id metakey metavalue 1 siteurl http://127.0.0.1/mysite/ ``` * wp_blogs: * ```wp-block-code blog_id site_id domain path 1 1 127.0.0.1 /mysite/ 4 1 127.0.0.1 /mysite/es/ ``` * wp_options: * ```wp-block-code option_name option_value siteurl http://127.0.0.1/mysite home http://127.0.0.1/mysite ``` * wp_4_options: * ```wp-block-code option_name option_value siteurl http://127.0.0.1/mysite/es home http://127.0.0.1/mysite/es ``` Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Author [Dennis Ploetner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/realloc/) * (@realloc) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-subfolder-install/#post-17344120) * It should be possible. MSLS stores the id of the linked contents and not their path. * I can imagine a problem with the permalinks. Are they permalinks flushed? Often, visiting the permalinks settings (which flushes them automatically) is enough… * Thread Starter [Gerald](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gerital/) * (@gerital) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-subfolder-install/#post-17344567) * Thanks for your answer – and for your great plugin, by the way. * I had a look at permalinks and on cache, but it doesn’t solve the problem. It seems to be something with the network itself going wrong as all the files loaded on the second site do include the _/es_ folder (like [http://127.0.0.1/obsip/es/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/test.jpg](http://127.0.0.1/obsip/es/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/test.jpg)), but actually shouldn’t as they work like [http://127.0.0.1/obsip/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/test.jpg](http://127.0.0.1/obsip/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/12/test.jpg) * So I think that doesn’t have to do anything with your plugin as the sites itself are linked fine, but just don’t load any related resources. So I’m going to reread out the WordPress multisite resources in case I missed anything. The strange thing is just that everything works fine without the _/mysite_ subfolder. * Plugin Author [Dennis Ploetner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/realloc/) * (@realloc) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-subfolder-install/#post-17344662) * Thank you! Also for pointing that out.

With that changes everything works fine now.
