Restricted Folder Access
-
Hello
We have WP multisite and as far as we are aware we created it so that it should create sub-folders rather than sub-domains. i.e. We have define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false ); in our wp-config.php file.
We have now created 3 sites with each having its own domain:
https://fantastic-training.com/
https://fantastic-thinking.com/
https://perceptionprofiling.com/However we don’t appear to have different folders for these sites.
Under the root folder there is a folder we are using for one of the sites and that folder is called /Aj-Isle/ this should be for the https://fantastic-training.com/ site.
However the folder is available to all 3 domains which is behaviour we don’t want. So trying to look at the file south.png in all 3 domains works.
https://fantastic-training.com/Aj-Isle/south.png
https://fantastic-thinking.com/Aj-Isle/south.png
https://perceptionprofiling.com/Aj-Isle/south.pngHow can we restrict it so that the Aj-Isle folder is only available when the https://fantastic-training.com/ domain is requested?
Thanks in advance

That’s a bit of confusion most people get caught up in when building a multisite…
A subdirectory install of multisite doesn’t go in a subdirectory and doesn’t build subdirectories for those added sites. It’s more of a site naming convention where new sites are named under the root domain in a subdirectory multisite while a subdomain multisite creates new site as subdomains of the original site.
The subdirectory install is still easier in some respects so you have a good install there… It’s just not exactly what you expected.
Domain mapping tends to blur some of the distinctions between subdirectory and subdomain installs so that can help but, if you really need subdirectories for some specific sites then see if your control supports addon domains to use for those.
I’d keep the multisite for the rest of the sites.
