WP 3 upgrade complete, but cannot admin new websites (white screens)
-
Hi,
Have a single existing website that was running fine.
Upgraded to WordPress 3.0 and still working fine (and upgraded all plugins too).
However, I have the need to have a multi-site installation.I setup multisite using:
define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
I then added:
// Adding in settings for core website define( 'MULTISITE', true ); define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true ); $base = '/'; define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'ervinlaszlo.com' ); define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' ); define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 ); define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
All standard practice.
However when in the admin I noticed that if I wanted to create a new site it HAD to be a subdomain, ie. subdomain.mysite.comHowever, I want subfolders. So I found this tutorial by Andrea_R: https://bit.ly/9lIcwx and followed instructions on how to change from subdomain to subfolder. Basically by default WordPress wants you to go to subdomain, but you can go to subfolder (however I am now stuck, more below ??
All is well so far and I can now create new websites.
So I created 2 new websites using the subdomain method.
When creating them I made the core websites admin the primary admin (who is not me).I then see 3 sites in my site list:
- / (root site)
- /firstsite
- /secondsite
When I try to admin either “/firstsite” or “/secondsite” I get a white screen. Makes me think I need the admin I assigned in the setup to then set me up as an admin. But I am a Super Admin.
I also get a white screen when I try to see either website.
I’ve looked and there is NO source code coming through.Here is the content of my .htaccess file
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] # uploaded files RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^ - [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
I have a full suite of backups so I am not nervous, BUT the website is presently down and I do need to get it online ASAP.
If there are any questions about code/settings/etc. happy to provide.
Let me know if you have any questions.
