I have a wordpress site that I created a second blog in a subdirectory

  • The original site: https://www.learningunlimited.com runs just fine. I created a subdirectory and second wordpress install within that directory that uses the same database under a different table index. The problem is that when I create a new page within the second blog site https://www.learningunlimited.com/howtoworkasateam it works fine until I publish it then it gives me:

    Not Found
    Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.

    In the format of my original site. This second blog should have it’s own theme assigned to it as the first page of the site relfects. your help with this would be very appreciated. You can go to the second block and click on the second or third sample/test page to see what I am talking about.

    Thank you!

    I created a subdirectory and second wordpress install within that directory that uses the same database under a different table index.

    That is not MultiSite. Moving to install (though most likely this is a case of your .htaccess in the subfolder not being there).

    Could you explain a bit more, I’m not clear on how to fix this by your reply?

    Check your urls in Settings General of the wordpress installed in directory it should the directory name.

    I checked and they look good. Any other thoughts? I still am not clear on what Ipstenu is recommending??

    What I meant was there’s a hidden file on yoru server called .htaccess, and it lives in the folder where WordPress is.

    So if you installed your second WP install in domain.com/foobar, on your server is a FOLDER called foobar. In that folder is a file called .htaccess

    Is THAT file set correctly?

    How do I know if it’s set correctly? I don’t even see that file on the server via FTP. Do you have a guidline on how to setup the .htaccess file for an implementation like I have?

    It should be the same as the .htaccess file you’re using for the original site except for one change: open it and change RewriteBase / to RewriteBase /howtoworkasateam/ (I assumed the folder name was “howtoworkasateam”). You could just copy that one into the newer installation’s folder. Make sure whatever FTP client you’re using is set to show hidden files.

    or easy way log in admin of wordpress you installed in folder and reset your permalinks

    Okay, I’ve got it fixed. I copied over the one from the original main root to the subfolder, then I reset permalinks to default and now it works.

    Thanks for your help!
