Dashboard css not working on migrated multisite

    After migrating servers, everything seemed to be working perfectly.

    Initially the dashboards loaded correctly. Now I’ve cleared the cache and the dashboard css isn’t loading.

    This is my .htaccess:

    # 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]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    File permissions are 755 for directories and 644 for files.

    load-styles.php is shown at the beginning of the list of css files when I go to ‘Inspect Element-Style Editor’ in Firefox. That doesn’t happen on dashboards with a working css.

    I found a fix in this post: Fix WordPress Admin Styles Not Loading

    It’s weird but it works.

    I added this to wp-config.php:
    define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );
    And then the dashboard CSS came back.

    Anyone know why I’d have to do this?

    Thanks

    Your browser is caching things to stringently. If you hard flushed the cache, it might have worked.

    No don’t think so Mika. Tried clearing all the caches I could find – Firefox, WP Super Cache, Eaccelerator. Made no difference.

    Initially, increasing system resources helped (am running CloudLinux). I commented out the CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS line and it was fine for a few weeks. Now the problem has just reoccurred. Yet the system hasn’t hit any of its resource limits. Am flummoxed! It’s Saturday evening in Australia. Could be a peak internet time but I don’t know how that could create this problem, unless it’s something to do with my Microsoft Azure server.

    I’d leave the CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS line uncommented, but I assume scripts are concatenated to speed things up?

    Hi Mika

    I just tried clearing browser caches and running CCleaner.

    The dashboard CSS only loads if ‘define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );’ is set in wp-config.php.

    I think that rules out a browser caching issue?

    The multisite hit no resource limits while I was testing this.

    The dashboard CSS works with the CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS directive, that’s the main thing. Would like to know why it’s necessary though ??

    Could be server caching.

    Basically “something” is holding on to old data. It’s not really a big deal. I’ve had pagespeed do it to me :/ Cloudflare too.
