Multisite Dashboard link

  • Hello,

    I just activated multisite on an existing WordPress installation. After configuring network setup, I added a new site. So now I have the main site on the root path and then some sub sites using the subdirectory approach. The problem is that the dashboard link for all these sites are pointing to the main site URL. If I type in the URL manually site.com/abc/wp-admin then it takes me the correct dashboard but then when I try to activate the theme it takes me back to the main sites dashboard.

    Please help me solve this issue.

    What plugins are you running?

    Have you tried with them all off?

    Go in via the database and manually change the theme of your main site to Twenty Fourteen.

    Hello mate!

    I just had the same problem happen to me as well: new sites created on my (sub-directory) multisite network would have the wrong links generated for their dashboards, and, similarly, trying to change a new site’s theme would only change the theme for the main site.

    However, when I went through the back-end (as a Super Admin) to My Sites > Network Admin > Sites, and then clicked on a subsite and went to the Settings tab, I noticed that the first field (Siteurl) had in it the address of my main site.

    When I tried updating it (typing in the correct address and clicking the Save Changes button at the bottom), it wouldn’t update the address for whatever reason.

    I finally got it to work by logging into the database and updating the option_value field for the siteurl in the options table for my new site.

    I’ve given a bit of a test drive and everything looks like it’s fine. Hope this helps you (or somebody else) out!
