# WordPress Multisite Network Admin URL

 * We are running a client’s website which is set up in such a way that it does 
   not allow its URLs to run correctly without www in the front.
 * It seems that when you log into WordPress Admin, the Network Admin links all 
   have non-www links by default. Is there a way to change this permanently?
 * We’ve gone and updated .htacess to force a 301 redirect to the www version of
   the site a such:
 *     ```
       RewriteEngine on
       RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com [NC]
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
       ```
   
 * This corrects the Network Admin links and they work fine, but it seems doing 
   any specific actions within do NOT work. For example, trying to add a new user
   to the system causes a failure. In taking a look at the source code, I noticed
   that the Add User form (ex: [http://www.domain.com/wp-admin/network/user-new.php](http://www.domain.com/wp-admin/network/user-new.php))
   uses the following code:
 * <form action=”http://**domain.com**/wp-admin/network/user-new.php?action=add-
   user” id=”adduser” method=”post”>
 * Where I can force WordPress to render this code so that it uses www in front 
   of the URL for the form action?

 * Usually that only happens if you had some weird miss-match of your domains.
 * Do a search on your whole DB for [http://domain.com](http://domain.com) and change
   it.

 * I’ve actually tried this and found 0 instances of [http://domain.com](http://domain.com)
   across all database tables.
 * Within wp-config.php, we currently have this line:
    `define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE','
   domain.com');`
 * Should this be changed to?:
    `define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.domain.com');`
 * Or alternatively, within the database on the wp_blogs and wp_site tables, the
   domain column is currently set to ‘domain.com’. Should this be changed across
   the board to ‘www.domain.com’?

 * So I was able to get this resolved. For anyone in the future who might have the
   same issue, this is what I did:
 * 1 – Update wp-config.php to use www in the DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE:
    `define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE','
   www.domain.com');`
 * 2 – On the wp_blogs table, update domain column for MAIN site to use [http://www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com)
 * After those two changes, everything in Network Admin seems to be working correctly
   now!
