    After automatic upgrade to 4.4.2, multisite administration dashboard cannot access to dashboard of secondary site. Chrome returns “Too Many Redirect error message”. The primary site works fine, secondary site display is corrupted due to images and css not found.

    Problem remains after disabling all plugins.
    The web site is hosted on server running php 5.4

  • OK, I’ve made many tests and here is what I found in MY SCENARIO.

    Over the years, I have gotten into the habit of changing WP prefixes for database and tables.

    I believe that all my standing multi-sites were so customized.
    The host did a fresh upgrade to their server sides but Softaculous would still produce broken multi-sites (with add-ons and prefixes moded).

    So I just did straight forward installs of new multi-sites without add-ons, without changing prefixes Nothing except ticking the multi-site on and I created 2 working multi-sites.

    My recommendation is that WP either inform users that changing prefixes is no longer a security enhancement option or to fix this issue in future updates so that we can add the prefix customization option as well as other add-on options to the install of a multi-site.

    Hope this helps.

    Sorry guys, I thought two tests would be enough and sure enough the third time I tried it broke again!
    This seems an inconsistent issue at least for my situation.
    Hit and miss!

    I have contacted my host to see if the techs can test and put their brains to work on this one…..

    I did it again and remembered that I needed to use a “normal” username.
    The latest install that didn’t work had a hardened username (I previously said not to use one).

    So this time, it worked.

    I’d like to know what others experience who share some of the conditions I have described above in my posts and does my final resolution work in your case?
